Sinking of the NRN Constantino Buccio: Difference between revisions

This was highly controversial, even in Tretrid itself. Opposition politicians denounced the move as propping up a corrupt, ineffective regime, especially in light of the increasingly unpopular continued [[occupation of Seccera]]. After members of the Nuova Volscine Council were implicated in the corruption scandals around then-Prime Minister Æthelred Wulfricesunu in 2016, continued Tretridian support of the regime was denounced as corrupt and fueled by bribery from Nuova Volscine officials. By the time [[Eoforwine ÆthelstansunuÆthelstanesunu]] became Prime Minister at the end of the year, he noted his "reluctance" to continue supporting the state but believed that it was "absolutely necessary" for Tretrid's foreign policy.

While the coup was well received within Correva, whose populace had languished under the kleptocratic government of Nuova Volscina, international opinion was rather more mixed. Mere hours after the coup, Tretridian Prime Minister Eoforwine ÆthelstansunuÆthelstanesunu formally recognized Correva as the legitimate successor state to Nuova Volscina and renewed the Tretridian alliance with the state. The Prime Minister promised to cede Seccera, which still lay under Tretridian military administration, to Correva once the state consolidated. The [[League of Novaris]] was also quick to recognize Correva, determining that, as the successor state to Nuova Volscina, they would hold the formerly Nuova Volscine seat in the Novaran Council.

{{flagcountry|Tretrid}}: Prime Minister [[Eoforwine ÆthelstansunuÆthelstanesunu]] immediately pinned the blame for the sinking on Volscina, stating that the attack was "a blatant attack on Correvan sovereignty by the Volscines" and that claims that the attack was a false flag operation carried out by a different party were "completely unsubstantiated."
