Endorsement

It was an important day and we were all set before the TV sets to watch and cover the crucial event for the regime. As we were not invited, we had no choice but to wait for the live coverage. But though we had been alerted from our friends that the event had started, we could not see anything happening on the state broadcast and I was quite disappointed to find out we just had to wait for the 2 o'clock to hear any of the soundbites the President and the Leader have made for the Endorsement ceremony of the executive branch. I was given the opportunity to participate in the broadcast late at night in Japan, but I really didn't like how they hadn't broadcasted the event on TV. Well, the most important will come up in two days and I hope they would not change their minds and not let us in!


the recorded version on TV... why was it not broadcasted live!?

PS
In Japan, I see the lay judge trials were starting. Citizens chosen to be like the juries in Western nations will be deciding on a verdict in four days. If I had stayed in my previous position at the Judicial Press Club, I surely would have been working on this. I had no idea I'd been working on the inauguration process of a Middle East country I had no connection to!
