*[[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] has announced the start of the [[Alliance Festival of Culture]], a series of events taking place across seven systems. The [[Alliance Tribune]]'s cultural correspondent Corinne Macintyre provided a summary of the festival: "This seven-week tour of [[Alliance]] space will begin at the Fine Art Emporium on [[Lave]]. We have been promised that a wide range of artistic achievements, entertainment and history will be highlighted. Naturally, the Tribune will be offering in-depth coverage over the course of the festival." The prime minister was visibly pleased to introduce the Alliance Festival of Culture, describing it as "a celebration to lift citizens' spirits in these challenging times". It has been speculated that Mahon is hoping to move forward from the recent political scandals involving Gibson Kincaid. The centrepiece of the opening ceremony was a tribute to Megan Madigan, widely considered one of the most significant visual artists of the late 33rd Century. Her most famous work, titled 'Penance Street', was tragically lost in transit sixty years ago. The much-loved painting was honoured by modern reinterpretations from dozens of Lave's finest artists.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d39aa27d82ae034fd03b66f GalNet: Alliance Festival of Culture Begins]</ref> | |||

*The [[Alliance Assembly]] has permanently dissolved the role of [[President of the Alliance]], following the recent revelations about Gibson Kincaid's multiple crimes. Summarising the vote, [[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] said: "Recent events have made it clear that the presidential position is open to misuse, which places the integrity of the [[Alliance]] at risk. Following a thorough debate on the matter, this Assembly has voted – by an overwhelming majority – to remove the role from our constitution. The defunct Office of the Alliance President will now be restructured. Many emissaries will be retained to serve as the non-political ambassadors they were intended to be. [[Council Member|Councillor]] [[Elijah Beck]] has volunteered to resign in order to oversee the new department. We hope that this unfortunate chapter of Alliance history has now been brought to an end." An earlier vote held during the same session has selected Admiral [[Tahir West]] of the [[Tionisla]] fleet to join the [[Council of Admirals]], replacing the disgraced [[Frederick Yamamoto]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d0a5a3b3728fe3d262882ee GalNet: Alliance President Role Abolished]</ref> | *The [[Alliance Assembly]] has permanently dissolved the role of [[President of the Alliance]], following the recent revelations about Gibson Kincaid's multiple crimes.
