PRESS ARTICLE - URGENT: New Chief of Staff and dissolution of the Legislative Body by His Majesty!
The Emperor's new private military staff, Admiral Florent Quincy, 55, was spotted at the Tuileries Palace. He advises His Majesty on French and international military affairs, even the most sensitive ones. Which makes him an important adviser for the country's future policy.
Admiral Florent Quincy met the Emperor for the first time at the Tuileries Palace in Paris. He was guided by Jean Schulmeister, Napoleon IV's former chief of staff.
Florent Quincy's arrival in the corridors of power is attracting attention for a number of reasons, not least because he is one of the Simpartist party's biggest contributors and has extensive military experience aboard the aircraft carrier Le Normandie.
A few days earlier, His Majesty the Emperor Napoléon V dissolved Parliament. This is a rare political act, which in the republican tradition is normally used to resolve serious crises and is often judged with suspicion. It is wise to assume that the Emperor wished to give his Prime Minister Charlemagne de Maupas new political room for manoeuvre by increasing the number of Imperial Party seats in Parliament.
State of the Legislative Body under the First Government of Charlemagne de Maupas (end of the reign of Napoléon IV)
The opposition party (Third Party) had 150 seats compared with 200 for the Emperor.
Before the dissolution, His Majesty had only a very small majority, which allowed the opposition parties to systematically block the measures desired by the government.
State of the Legislative Body under the Second Government of Charlemagne de Maupas (Napoléon V)
Dissolution was a risky but successful gamble for the Emperor, as His Majesty's party won 83 seats in the early elections. This majority will strengthen the powers of the second government of Charlemagne de Maupas and the Simpartist party for many years to come.
Dissolution is permitted under the French Constitution in the event of "extended powers given to the Emperor in times of crisis". These powers were conferred on the Emperor after the death of His Majesty, the late Emperor Napoléon IV, in a terrorist attack.
At the beginning of his reign, Emperor Napoléon V asked the French Parliament to grant him extensive powers. Some opponents of power deplored the end of democracy, and the dissolution of Parliament is proof of this today.
It is clear that through this very serious political gesture, His Majesty is showing all his power, since he enjoys great popularity, but also that he is placing all his trust in his Prime Minister, Charlemagne de Maupas.

ARTICLE - URGENT : Dissolution du Corps Législatif par Sa Majesté !
Au palais des Tuileries a été aperçu le nouvel état major des armées particulier de l'Empereur, l'amiral Florent Quincy, 55 ans. Ce dernier conseille Sa Majesté pour les affaires militaires françaises et internationales, même les plus délicates. Ce qui en fait un conseiller important pour la future politique du pays.
L'amiral Florent Quincy rencontre l'Empereur pour la première fois au palais des Tuileries à Paris. Il est guidé par l'ancien état-major de Napoléon IV, Jean Schulmeister.
L'arrivée de Florent Quincy aux loges du pouvoir attire l'attention pour de multiples raisons, principalement parce qu'il est l'un des plus grands collaborateurs du parti Simpartiste et a une grande expérience militaire à bord du porte-avions Le Normandie.
Quelques jours plus tôt, Sa Majesté l'Empereur Napoléon V a dissous le Parlement. C'est un acte politique rare, qui dans la tradition républicaine, est normalement utilisée pour résoudre des crises graves et qui est souvent jugée avec suspicion. Il est sage de penser que l'Empereur a souhaité donner à son Premier Ministre Charlemagne une nouvelle marge de manoeuvre politique en renforçant le nombre de sièges du Parti impérial au Parlement.
Etat du Corps Législatif sous le Premier Gouvernement de Charlemagne de Maupas
Avant la dissolution, Sa Majesté ne disposait que d'une très faible majorité qui permettait aux partis de l'opposition de bloquer systématiquement les mesures souhaitées par le gouvernement.
La dissolution était un pari risqué mais réussi pour l'Empereur, puisque le parti de Sa Majesté a gagné grâce aux élections anticipées 83 sièges. Cette majorité va permettre de renforcer les pouvoirs du second gouvernement de Charlemagne de Maupas et du parti Simpartiste pour de longues années.
L'Empereur Napoléon V au début de son règne demande au Parlement français de lui conférer les pouvoirs étendus.
La dissolution est permise par la Constitution française en cas de "pouvoirs élargis donnés à l'Empereur en temps de crise". Ces pouvoirs ont été conférés à l'Empereur après la mort de feu Sa Majesté, l'Empereur Napoléon IV dans un attentat. Il est évident qu'à travers ce geste politique d'une grande gravité, Sa Majesté montre toute sa puissance puisqu'il jouit d'une grande popularité, mais aussi qu'il place toute sa confiance en son Premier Ministre, Charlemagne de Maupas.

She remembers making this trek on a similar night years ago, the muggy summer air feeling like the sweetest thing after spending months in utter darkness. Back then, no one knew who Hope Mikaelson was, and a cynical part of her wonders whether maybe she'd taken that for granted. These days, everyone knows who Hope Mikaelson is. There's no one in the woods this time around and Hope is thankful for that small mercy. It's simple enough to breach the wards around the school, to use her speed to silently slip through the hallways she grew up in. She takes a second to briefly stop by her old room, resting her palm on her door before moving on to her real destination.
The Headmistress' office is the same as she remembers it and Hope's chest feels tight at the thought of seeing Caroline again. It's long overdue, and she really she have stopped by sooner, but it turns out that something she and her father have in common is the instinct to run rather than to have a difficult conversation. She finds herself looking at pictures of Josie and Lizzie in various stages of their childhoods as she waits for the blonde, and when she hears her footsteps approaching, Hope purposely makes a sound to alert the vampire she's there. By the time the door opens, Hope is standing in the corner with her palms facing up, and an apologetic look on her face. "Hey Caroline." // @multi-royalty
