Vice President Max Tauziat walks to the podium.
" I have sad news today. This may be hard to hear especially to those who loved peace and love. At 7:22 this mourning the president was pronounced dead by gun shot to the head. I know you may feel angry and distressed. Knowing, as the evidence leads us to believe, she was killed by religious fanatics. You may feel a need to destroy, a need for revenge. You can go down that road filled with hate and distrust for one another. A road that leads to violence, a road that leads to war. A road that leads to more polarization between the securalist and traditionalist. But that goes against what she fought for. She fought for peace and for tolerance and for greater understanding. Our country and our world has faced much difficulty over the years and that only looks to increase after what has happened here today but i ask for peace. We can carry the light through the darkness and then we shall be fine.
I have taken the oath of office and shall be acting president till emergency elections can take place. She will not be forgotten as someone who fought for peace and more importantly succeeded in it.
Thank you"
