Kingdom of Lego to seal border with Brikvania

Wingo talking to reporters after a heavy lunch with his cronies.

Prime Minister Rito Wingo announced that the Kingdom of Lego will seal its border with Brikvania within one week. It will also restrict movements of people and goods between the two kingdoms.

Wingo announced that it was necessary to seal the border in view of the recent Malatian-Suvanese military conflict.

Wingo's decision to seal the border takes place as Brikvania continues to avoid discussing the transfer of Legolis province to Kingdom of Lego.

Experts believe that Wingo is putting maximum pressure on Brikvania to bring the young kingdom into line.

"So far Brikvania has avoided being easily influenced by the Kingdom of Lego, but Wingo is putting economic and military pressures slowly until Brikvania collapses", said a defence analyst.

In his latest move, Wingo announced that all border crossings with Brikvania will only open from 10 am to 4 pm for security reasons, and all goods coming in or going out will be checked 100%.

"When it is dark, it is dangerous. We do not know what the Brikvanians are up to so we need to close the border at night", said Wingo when interviewed by the press after his lunch with his close business associates.

"We have reports that the Brikvanians have been smuggling small bricks out of our country", added Wingo,

Brikvania has condemned the move, saying that it will affect many residents from its Legolis province who are working in the Kingdom of Lego.

Wingo is also facing a crisis at home as the King, His Excellency King Arius, has denied his request to suspend the parliament. His Legolis First Party (LFP) has been looking for legal ways to suspend parliament and rule by decree.

"We also need to prepare for war with Malatia, who has attacked Suva, our very friendly ally," added Wingo.

When asked about his relation with King Arius, Wingo said: "The King is in a safe place. And I am not responsible on the coup attempt against the King."

The Royal Police in the meantime has opened an investigation into the attack on the Royal Palace, and as of today, some 80 suspects have been detained.
