Mahuset leaves the Konmalehth

Lazia, 31 January 2020 — Mahuset has left the Konmalehth, following a set of recent controversies and undisclosed internal disputes with other member states. The decision was taken by executive decree of President Emiel van der Huijsen, to prevent such disputes further damaging the Confederation’s ties with fellow members and to defend its own reputation.

Mahuset had joined the Konmalehth on 21 January 2019 and played an active part in its development, President Van der Huijsen having served a six-month term as Chair in which he enacted reforms that broadened the organisation’s reach — among them the transformation of Independent General Press into its official media agency. The withdrawal may pose a significant blow to the Konmalehth’s future sustainability.
