GOVERNMENT PROMISES JUDICIAL REFORM TO "RESTORE LAW & ORDER TO SOLÓNYA"
The Prime Minister, Świętosława Dobrzynska, speaking at a govt. press conference on the issue of reform. Today the Government released a draft of a bill on Judicial reform after years of judges appointed as far back as the 1970s controlling, and paralyzing, the court system in Solónya. The new law would allow for the Ministry of Justice to remove judges they see as unfit to continue serving and would put in place 10 year terms for Supreme Court Justices who would then need to be reconfirmed or replaced. It will also give the President the authority to remove Supreme Court justices or the Supreme Court's powers during a state of emergency.
The opposition party, United Socialist Workers Party, along with many other minor parties, such as the Green Deal party and the New Democracy Movement, have also announced their opposition to the bill. However public opinion seems to be on the side of the government with 41% of Solónyans being in favour of the reforms, 29% against them and 30% having no opinion on them. Despite the opposition form the other parties the government, ruled by the National Justice and Prosperity Party, seems determined to get the reforms passed by the National Assembly and with them holding 347 of the 608 seats it seems likely to pass.
The chance of finally fixing the many broken institutions in our country has instilled a sense of hope in the good people of our nation. They know that they were correct to put their faith in Mrs. Dobrzynska and the NPJP and it seems that for once a politician is going to complete the promises they made on their campaign.
