Political Positions of the PPP

On Friday, the Progressive Petronian Party (PPP) had a press conference during which they announced their plans for the upcoming parliamentary sessions and their prepared bills. We, the Petronian Tribune, were there to bring you an exclusive overlook and many interviews from that day.

The party declared that they have two prepared bills that they will bring to the table on Monday and Tuesday. The official spokesperson, Damjan Denkovski, stated that “we are looking for support from all of the Petronian people. With our bills we will improve our economy as well as Russian affairs, and with that improve the bilateral relations with Russia."

Denkovski continued, "Our bills also focus on the environmental issue, and if passed it will help us make a better world for our children and their children as well as our own future.” Specifically regarding the second bill, he said: “Our other bill is focused on helping Russia in their information system as well creating a information database, which will help them with the gathering of information. This will benefit the citizens of Great Petronia since they will have access to more objective information and thus more insider views from Russia , which will provide them with new opportunities to invest in that country and at the same time provide our government with the necessary information to create a sufficient foreign policy with Russia.”

Later on that day we managed to also get a statement from Denkovski about the preparations of Dexter Zhuang for the parliamentary debate: “Dexter is a dedicated, devoted leader who is preparing for his debate while assisting other members of the party in whatever need they may have. His experience in meeting conduct and debating is a great help to this party, and if chosen will be to the whole Parliament as well.”

During this interview, the party leader (as well as only member) of the World Party of Petronia came to negotiate with the PPP.

The negotiations were full of misunderstanding the other's thoughts and ideas.

The representative of the WPP did not want to give an official statement to the present reporter of the Tribune, nor give a proper answer to the question “What is the difference between supporting you and voting for you?” His response: “You calm down, the press isn’t supposed to say anything here.” After a while the parties agreed on offering a friendship between the parties but not support.

In the end of the day the parliamentary debate was on the schedule, and after many good speeches and arguments Dexter Zuang was elected.

We wish him luck in maintaining a peaceful and progressive debate in the Parliament.
