Wed, 10/12/2011 - 07:31 — Anonymous Home/Aldebaran 160-1121 The Secretariat
of the Solomani Confederation saw an open break in protocol today, as a
prominent delegate denounced the Secretary-General from the floor.Jan Malikov
called Marc Chissano's occupancy of the Secretary-General's office "immoral,
illegal, and unconstitutional," and called on Chissano to obey the recall
order which has been issued by the current government of his homeworld.
"Chissano has lost any legitimacy his government might have held. He has only
two choices at this point. He can step down and permit this body to elect a
new Secretary-General who can weild power within the Charter. Or he can rule
as a dictator. May our posterity judge him mercifully if he chooses the
latter course."Malikov's sudden denunciation comes after several days of
quiet negotiation between his Nationalist faction and other factions within
the Solomani Party. Observers have speculated that Malikov has been trying to
resolve differences with the Secretary-General's Radical faction. If true,
then any hope for such a conciliation now appears doomed.The
Secretary-General's office has issued a statement calling Malikov's speech
"criminally irresponsible." Secretary-General Chissano thus far claims that
the government of his homeworld Twilight is a mere "rebel junta," without the
authority to issue a legal recall order.Ω
