BREAKING NEWS: Legrand and Dukov resign from Party Leadership following attempted Press Bribery Exposé
The Leaders of the Two Major Eirian Political Parties resigned this morning after an Exposé was published by the Borean Journal. The Exposé détails how both Alison Legrand and Alexander Dukov, both Major Big-Tent party leaders, attempted to give funding to journalists in exchange for journalists writing Articles that diminish the moderate wings of their own parties, as well as the Eirian Centrist Party.The two party leaders had allegedly made a deal to try to win seats for their own sections of the Big-Tent Parties.
Both Former Party leaders announced their resignations this morning in a Senate Press Conference. It should be noted that both Dukov and Legrand still hold the position of Senator, and the resignations only apply to the Majority/Minority leader positions. Investigations have been launched by both the Senate Committee on Improper Conduct and the Ministry of Justice, and a temporary investigative suspension has been issued to both accused parties.
Many Senators and Activists have made statements on these startling accusations. "It's a frightening accusation, and if it's true, it says a frightening amount about the potential for corruption in our Republic. It's appalling that leaders of our country would break the law to try to stab their own party members in the back just to gain Senate Seats." Said Centrist Senate Leader Justin Olmansen, who gave a statement to the press an hour ago.
The Chancellor also commented on the resignations and allegations in a video released to the press. "The accusations levied on Senators Dukov and Legrand are serious and reprehensible, and the resignations following the accusations are even more frightening. If these accusations are proven true, I fully expect the Ministry of Justice to exact punishment how they see fit. Bribery is a serious breach of the Oath of the Republic, not to mention highly illegal. It's a shame that Legrand and Dukov would bring doubt and skepticism on the entire Eirian Democracy like this."
More information will be published when it becomes available.
