Resolution of the Senate in regards to Tomás Gariçeir

Elections
After a record six seats were up for reelection in the previous election, four senatorial elections were held concurrently to the April 2019 General Election: the normally scheduled races in Atatürk, Cézembre and Vuode, and the special election in Florencia.
Prior to the elections, the dissolution of the Moderate Radicals, who held half of the seats in the Senate, resulted in a change in partisan alignment: Senators da Schir and Pinátsch would now sit as independents, Senator Plätschisch was now the party leader of Awakening and Magnifying Passion, and Senator Soleiglhfred retired.
Atatürk
Incumbent Sevastáin Pinátsch was elected to a third term without declared opposition, with 64.28% of the votes. Following the dissolution of the MRPT, he announced he would sit as an independent. After the vote, he joined the Schivâ Cabinet as Minister of STUFF.
