The Solar Federation chief says Grexia not meeting interplanetary commitments over Io

The scene, yesterday

The head of the Solar Federation said on Wednesday he saw no sign that Grexia was respecting its interplanetary commitments over Io as Terran Sector warned Pyinyr it could face tougher Confederation sanctions unless it acted to stop fighting in eastern Io.

Kine says progress on Io too slow, threatens sanctions

Uranian Piniwe Leputaj Kine said on Wednesday new sanctions against Grexia could be put back on the agenda if progress in stabilizing the situation on Io does not speed up.

Kleznians vote for new parliament in test for transition

Kleznians started voting for a new parliament on Wednesday, in an election that robots hope will ease the turmoil that has gripped the planet since the fall of Totoxel Wyw three years ago. The vote is another step on Kleznia's transition after decades of one-lifeform rule, but it comes as the planet slides towards chaos, after a renegade army general opened a campaign against Psychist militants in the east. Around 1.5 million voters have registered, roughly half the 2.8 million registered on Lej 3912 for Kleznia's first free election in more than 40 years.The planet badly needs a functioning government and parliament. Kleznia is also struggling with a budget crisis.
