4 YEARS LATER: ALKHIVA OIL SPILL TEACHES LESSONS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
ALKHIVA, ALDURIA -- The massive oil spill in Alkhiva, Alduria 4 years ago still is fresh in the minds of the residents of Alkhiva and its nearby coasts.Today, the federal Department of Energy and Environment released a comprehensive report written and co-authored by local Aldurian agencies that confirm that the Alkhivan oil spill has been neutralized and cleaned up.
"For the last four years, we have cleaned up tar and made extensive evaluations and expeditions to confirm that the oil has been cleaned, and we can confirm with certainty that it has," says the report.
It is not yet entirely clear if any more oil remains in sediment and in the depths of the ocean, but the report unveils extensive testing and exploration confirms minimal to no trace of oil is left in the coasts or waters around Alkhiva.
The Alkhivan oil spill released millions of barrels of crude oil into the sea and resulted in the arrest of several executives and managers in the Aldurian Oil Company for their efforts to cover-up the spill and minimize its effects.

FHP ABSTAINS ON OWN CHIEF JUSTICE NOMINATION
Mass abstentions reveal fractures inside secretive party over nomination of Júlio DuránCárdenas, FCD -- 258 Deputies out of the FHP's 344 Deputies in the Federal Assembly abstained in protest over the Government's nomination of Júlio Durán to Chief Justice of the nation's highest court.
Only 86 Deputies, including the President of the Government, voted for the nomination. The nomination passed mostly on the backs of the Opposition. The Vice-President of the Government and former President, Augustus Strong, joined the 258 Deputies in abstaining from the vote.
The vote reveals divisions inside the party and the Government over the nomination. The FHP and President Seydlitz remain tight-lipped on the steep division, which has launched speculation outside of the party.
On Tweeter, the leader of the Opposition, Julio Delgado, blasted the Government and the FHP over the abstentions. "This abdication of responsibility from 75% of the FHP shows the continual complacency of the FHP and the Government," said Delgado. He also attacked the FHP and the Government for not being forthcoming about the reservations on their own nomination.
