BREAKING NEWS

Chancellor Harald Schmidt (SLP) confirmed today, what many people were afraid of:
He won't candidate for Chancellery again in 2017. 
He announced that on a press conference today in the evening.
Getting asked for the reasons, Schmidt answered, that he would be tired of this job and wants to retire and live his life outside of the politics.
The Königspalast-media-spokesperson Max Lunte denied, that Schmidt would retire due to his health.

SLP and especially the Leader now has to find a new candidate, that's popular enough among the people, but trustworthy and loyal enough, to not increase the tensions between the people, especially the people of Atlantis, and the Leader, while enforcing the Leader's policy.
This choice will be hard to make for Gianluca IV.
