In a surprising move, his Imperial Majesty, Emperor Markos V Joel has decided to attend a meeting of the Government in the wake of the attack in Pelasgia. It is the first time this happened since the reformation of the Empire and the creation of the first Nobatian constitution, with many describing this as a violation of a traditional taboo and barrier between the office of the Emperor and the Government, while others describing it as an extraordinary response to an extreme event.
Chancellor Gabrielkouda Stratides and the Constitutionalist Party government has enacted a series of measures to respond to the crisis in Pelasgia, namely reinforcing the police and gendarmes in Faras, Myos Hormos and Port Buto with units from the Imperial Armed Forces, for a faster response in case of emergency. The government also increased the funding of the EOAK, the National Organisation of Security and Intelligence, to further their scope in defending the Empire and it's people so that tragedies like the one in Pelasgia can be avoided. Not only do they keep PD and radical socialist organisations under surveillance, under the Defence of Constitutionalism Act, but also the banned NRA, the Nethian Revolutionary Association and the Central Himyari Communist Party.
"I know that it is highly unlikely and strange to have the Emperor himself attend such meetings, but I have decided to have him present so that we can show the world that we are standing as always, together, united in the face of adversity. Terrorists have exploited cracks in the security apparatus of Pelasgia and with that they managed to create cracks in the security architecture of Himyar Itself. The Iron Fortress needs it's defenders to be ready for anything and stand together. That is why we are ready to aid Pelasgia in this trying moment and that is why I would invite Azraq to do so too. If one of the three lions falls, the pride will fall soon too," stated Chancellor Gabrielkouda Stratides, after the governmental meeting.
