This press message was released by the Government of the Federacio de Zardugalo (Zardugal).
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our prime minister, Cipriano Vázquez, after a heart attack in The Premier Mansion, the official residence of the Prime Minister.
As the Prime Minister for two years under His Imperial Majesty’s Government, he had pushed for reforms for the betterment of every Zardugalian and pursuit of common good. He had worked towards improving diplomatic ties and brought back the country on the lane as one of the leading countries in the world. Our country’s economy grew under his premiership and unemployment rate dropped drastically. He was undeniably a gem of the Great Empire of Zardugal.
His wake will be held in the Palace of Parliament and His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Felipe, has announced a nationwide mourning for two weeks. His remains will be brought to The Premier Mansion on the third week of his wake for his last rites.
For the meantime, there will be a snap election for the new leader of the Liberal Party of Zardugal and that will determine who will be the new Prime Minister of the Empire. As of now, the acting Prime Minister is the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jozefo Rava Venka. He will perform the duties of the Prime Minister until a new one is elected.
May the Lord Almighty bless his soul.Signed,
the Government of the Federacio de Zardugalo (Zardugal)
