Stockholm (KTN) — On Thursday, Valkyrian Chancellor Margaret Harrison woke up when Labor parliamentary leader Avianna Aldridge was in the room. The parliamentary leader described feeling "relief" after the chancellor woke up and asked, "What's going on?" After a lengthy discussion with the chancellor, Aldridge said she called Acting Chancellor Taeler Shaw and Defence Secretary Julia Burns to tell them the news. Upon the chancellor's awakening, the doctors at Stockholm Queens Hospital upgraded Harrison's medical state from critical to fair condition. At Executive Valkyria, Shaw alluded to Harrison's institutional development programme Brighter Horizon, "Today, we now know that Valkyria will still see a brighter horizon in the future."

A day after the sniper attack against the chancellor's motorcade, the Nordic Front has claimed responsibility, accusing the Valkyrian government of acting as an "oppressive regime". In September 2018, the Nordic Front was designated as a cultist group by the Department of Justice and described by Attorney General Cheryl Fox as a "paramilitary organisation representing several cultist groups in Valkyria". Before its designation as a cultist group, the Nordic Front was being monitored by the Office of Extremist Groups for neofascist rhetoric and other suspected criminal activities.

Stella Kaufman, the Shadow Intelligence Secretary of the Conservative Party, introduced the Expansion of Security Powers Act, arguing that the Valkyrian government was ineffective in preventing the sniper attack. The shadow secretary was criticised by members of the Alliance of Social Democrats for introducing the legislation. Labor MP Dominic Walker scolded Kaufman on the floor of the National Assembly, calling the proposed legislation an "act of political opportunism". In spite of the criticism from the governing coalition, Opposition Leader Nicole Chancellor endorsed the shadow secretary's proposed legislation, calling it a "necessary move for the security of the state". The Conservative parliamentary leader, Jonathan Victor, has declined to give comment on Kaufman's proposal.
