Congress of Peoples’ Deputies Adjorns for Election

Revodna, 9:44pm — The Congress of Peoples’ Deputies concluded the 2005 legislative agenda this evening, in advance of Saturday’s election.

Every member of the CPD has been working tirelessly in the last several days to pass all remaining legislation proposed by President and Chairman Vladik and the Central Committee.

The most notable items were last-minute additions to the State Budget for 2006, proposed by President and Chairman Vladik and approved by the Central Budget Committee last night. They include:

€500 million to pave every road in Koskovia.

€1 billion for raising the state pensions paid to retired and disabled persons.

€600 million in added spending on the State Health System.

€5 billion to provide every Koskovian a €500 subsidy.

TOTAL: €7.1 billion in spending, against €4.2 billion in receipts in fiscal 2005, for a year-ending surplus of €2.9 billion!

Note: Budget items are reported in Euros (€) because the currency translator at the Ministry of Information is not working.

These items will be funded as of 1st April 2006.

The Members of the CPD also decided that the ballots of veterans of the First Phase of the Glorious Revolution (3rd to 4th June, 1949) would count double in Saturday’s election.
