Remi Badeaux

Remi Badeaux was a Christian Democrats politician and former Prime Minister of Vilzland from 1924 to 1929 and then again from 1930 to 1933 following the collapse of the 1929 to 1930 Union-Vilzland government. Significant for his ties between the north and south after the effects of the Civil War, he brought about an age of economic prosperity in the 1920s and the 1930s, before he was assassinated in 1933.

It was never discovered who assassinated Badeaux, but his death resulted in waves of martyrdom from both sides. Due to his ethnic French heritage, Badeaux united both the north and the south during his premierships, therefore the north and the south both mourned when his death was announced. Radical southerners, who remained strongly in favour of the Túsenland cause, even mourned alongside Christian Democrats. Despite this, theories struck quickly that Badeaux was assassinated by a radical Christian Democrat who was against his policies of north-south solidarity, and ethnic tensions boiled as a result. These did not last long, however, and speakers from both sides were invited to speak at his funeral.

A statue of Remi Badeaux was erected in Ljochstad after his death, on the same site where he was shot - and those on both sides frequently make trips to pay their respects. To this day, Badeaux remains a largely symbol figure to northern-southern relations.
