Prime Minister Sephanos Menelaus addressed the parliament as scheduled that morning, informing the assembly of the ongoing conflict with Arkianian forces in general lines.
Although the nationalists had a majority in the parliament, most of the political parties supported the effort to restore Octitania sovereignty from Arkianian occupation.
However, he did not find much criticism this time from the opposition, or at least not more than expected, from rather a small group of nationalists and independents MPs, who had been supportive of his policies so far.
In their view, the government wasn't doing enough, and the ongoing operation seemed risky to lose the momentum and failing against well-armed and prepared Arkianian forces. A stronger response was needed to recover the territory soon.
Menelaus was not concerned that such criticism could risk his majority, at least for a while, but he realized that it could put him in a complicated situation if such views started to spread in the population.
He finished his speech declaring that the situation was under control, that Octitania would recover control over their own territory. He called again the international community to respect Octitanian sovereignty and rightful right to reestablish order in their own territory. For first time, he declared to be open to negotiations with Arkianian government, but it was required that Arkianian forces completely withdrawn from Octitanian territory first.
