In the four days after Metternich’s assassination, the issue of Krakow rose to the fore once more. That Krakow Act was narrowly rejected by congress (When initially presented to the Council, it gained the support of only 39% of the house, whilst a very similar private members bill put before the Assembly accrued only 37%.), the following day can largely be attributed to his absence. According to its detractors, the Krakow Act was “an act of supreme irresponsibility”, fueled only by “petty revengism” and certain to “enrage the Russian Bear”.

| abstract
| - In the four days after Metternich’s assassination, the issue of Krakow rose to the fore once more. That Krakow Act was narrowly rejected by congress (When initially presented to the Council, it gained the support of only 39% of the house, whilst a very similar private members bill put before the Assembly accrued only 37%.), the following day can largely be attributed to his absence. According to its detractors, the Krakow Act was “an act of supreme irresponsibility”, fueled only by “petty revengism” and certain to “enrage the Russian Bear”. In many ways, by blocking the bill, they succeeded in pacifying the monarchies of the East by convincing them that, as de Nyitra put it, “There is no need for our Federation to devolve into the terror and radicalism of Revolutionary France”. Its failure, however, allowed Franz Joseph the freedom he needed to leave the city and escape potential retribution, leaving initially for the Prussian court in Berlin, before proceeding on to St Petersburg the following summer, where he ingrained himself in the Russian court. Meanwhile, inside the Federation, the political classes were scurrying to make up lost time. Manifestos were hastily written and distributed, some to higher standards than others, but it became clear fairly quickly that only three men were in with a chance of taking the Presidency; the staunch Royalist, von Salzburg, who was the leader of the Royal Faction, the conservative independent, de Nyitra, who was endorsed by many of the smaller centre-right parties, like the Hungarian League, and the liberal Serb, Nikolić, who led the Slavic and Romanian Liberal Party.
