The no confidence vote of 2205 left France in dire straights. Another election was required to vote in a new government, but it had to be conducted by the old government. The department bosses did not wish a new government though, and they went to extreme lengths to sabotage the election process. Napoleon IX had been expecting that though, and once he had proof of their actions he released that proof on the nets. And that was when he requested the aid of the French police in arresting the individuals in question.
