President Mościcki Assinated!


In the early morning hours President Mościcki was assassinated by a sniper during an speech at an factory in Warsaw. A few hours later one Walery Sławek was arrested and charged by Polish police with the assination of President Mościcki.

Shortly after the assination of Poland's President Marshal Rydz-Śmigły was announced as the new President of Poland by the Sejm. 48 hours after the assassination of President Mościcki Poland's Prime Minister was forced to step down by an 61% vote in favor in the Sejm. This was followed quickly by an announcement by President Rydz-Śmigły that the position of Presidency and Prime Minister are to be merged into a single position called the “Chief of State.” The new position of Chief of State has all the powers and privileges of both the President and Prime Minister.

The Communist party of Poland was quick to condemn the assassination of President Mościcki, and has even gone as far as to make the claim that the assassination was an plot by the Marshal to consolidate his power in Poland. While the Communists have no hard evidence to back up their claims they have been largely ignored by the general population. The Communist News paper has also been vocal in its criticism of the government as of late, and as a result the Communist Party of Poland has seen its popularity grow especially in the poorer Eastern parts of Poland.

Results:
Poland
DP reset.
Marshal Rydz-Śmigły is now the Chief of State in Poland
Increased support for radical movements in Poland.

We also have recieved news that security duties have been assigned to special units of the Allgemeine SS. One SS unit has been specifically set up to provide honor guard duties at the entrances to the Olympic village, with two guards at each entrance. The rest will be roaming patrols, acting as police and guides for tourists who are expected to need some help finding events with tourists and athletes from at least 28 different nation's participating in the Winter Olympics.

In protest of the Nazi government short-lived boycott efforts have surfaced in Great Britain, France, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, and the Netherlands. German Socialists and Communists in exile voiced their opposition to the Games through publications such as Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung (The Worker Illustrated Newspaper). Some boycott proponents supported counter-Olympics. The largest counter-Olympic is the proposed "People's Olympiad" planned for July 1936 in Barcelona, Spain. Germany however is the official host of the 1936 Summer Olympics, and the German people view these attempted boycotts as well as the "people's games" as nothing more than an thinly vield attempt to steal Germany's spotlight. The 1936 Winter Games Olympic opening ceremonies are not planned until Febuary the 6'th.

Results:
Germany:
+2 DP (Glory for the Fatherland in the 36 Olympics!)
+.25% Q1 GDP Growth (influx of tourists)
