NEW GOVERNMENT AND NEW FLAG INAUGURATED

Saidercray has a new flag and a new government. The flag which you can see on the left is designed by a Stolidian artist. It has replaced the old flag due to a plebiscite at the beginning of this month (Saidercray Today reported) and was hoisted for the first time at 10.00 o'clock, at the beginning of the new legislative period's first parliamentary session.

Subsequently, the Members of Parliament elected Saidercray's new government that is going to rule the country for the next year.

Our old and new President is Ian Woshkal. The 53 year-old leader of the PPJ begins his third and therefore definitely last term of office. In opposition to the ministers, Woshkal hasn't been elected by the representatives but has become president due to his victory in the presidential election on August the 5th.

As it had been expected, Harry Old, the SPS's former candidate for presidency, has been elected as new Vice President. Old had been defeated very barely by Woshkal and is Saidercray's first black vice president.

On her 58th birthday, Angela Fintosthane, leader of the SPS since 2001, has been re-elected as Minister of Domestic Affairs. Also Melanie Wathers, PPJ, retains her office and is to be Minister of Foreign Affairs once again. Finally, also Frank Polernd (SPS) stays where he has been and continues his work as Minister of Science and Research.

All other ministries are lead by new politicians, some of them already members of 2005/06's cabinet, some of them without experience as ministers. Michael Henzoc (SPS) leaves the Ministry of Finance and replaces Harry Old as Minister for Defence. The PPJ's Takeru Yamaguchi, hitherto our Minister of Education and Families, will be responsible for our economy as Minister of Economy and Infrastructure. John Donald Icclat, also a member of the PPJ, who filled this office in the last legislative term, becomes Minister of Environment.
The new Minister for Education and Families is Charlotte Kilph (SPS), who has already held this office for one week after the birth of Yamaguchi's third child (Saidercray Today reported). Catherine O'Conor, (PPJ), the new Minister of Finance, has also been Vice Minister at ministry she leads now, but never had to substitute for her superior.
Two PPJ-ministers are completely new members of the cabinet: Jeffrey Carnon becomes Minister of Justice, and Grace Smith replaces Peter Mistle of the GDP as Minister of Health.

The first decision of the new parliament has been that there will be no school uniforms for Saidercray's students.
