The deputies who criticized the project simply didn't understand the goal of this project. Nobody talked about an enclosed community for privileged, nobody talked about a class-based segregation, nothing of that! The city will be a place dedicated to experiment and experience of new technology and social solutions for housing and civic communities. Here will live scientists, technicians, academics, but also merchants, teachers, workers. Here the workers will experience new kind of social and welfare approach and solutions to be then applied to all the nation. We will work with private business in this city for a new era of cooperation and integration between the state oversight and contribution to the economy and the business and entrepeurnship initiative of our citizens, to produce as well as to face the welfare, social and living challenges.

This afternoon Carola Vani, the spokeswoman of Il Blocco, has criticized all the ceremonies surrounding the Royal Family
“It is a shame for us that there are still some people that think about themselves as above the rest of us, abd the situation is reaching a point where our political class and the own Royal Family are making them look like if they were modern-day gods. While from Il Blocco we congratulate the Royal Family for this new birth, we reject all the celebrations surrounding it, paid with the citizens’ money, and we will fight for a change in this country”

Regarding the ongoing conflict with Kazulia, the spokesperson has also rejected Istalia going to war.

“This is not going to solve anything. The powerful ones will remain in their seats, while lots of innocent lives will be lost, as we have already seen. Istalia should work harder in finding a peaceful solution rather than loving so much to fight”

S&D TOUCHES THE MAJORITY AND REMAINS THE LARGEST PARTY: TARSO IS RESOLUTE AND READY FOR THE 8TH GOVERNMENT


The Cremisi Empire is what the Socialists & Democrats party is celebrating since weeks after last April's elections which represented another triumph for S&D and its leader, Paolo "Red Steel" Tarso, first party and Prime Minister respectively for 22 years since 4584. Probably we must dril in the deep in the page of history to find such a long lasting hegemonic rule by part of a party and bvy part of a leader like Paolo Tarso. Paolo Tarso continued with authority, determination and strenght to govern Istalia and reform the country towards a more prosperous, fairer, freer and more comfortable society for Istalians. Paolo Tarso asserted also the International prestige of Istalia, first world leader to denounce not only the human crimes by the Kazulian Fascist Regime but also against the Most Serene Republic of Pontesi that like fasicst Kazulia enforce racial segregation, cleansing and slavery and against which Prime Minister Paolo Tarso created and promoted a successfull international treaty already ratified by 15 nations and about to be ratified in other 4 nations.
Moreover the recent electoral success was also prompted by the military intervention of the Imperial Navy in Kazulia against the fascist forces alongside the rebels forces, which the Prime Minister declared to be ready to recognize as legitime govenrment of Kazulia andabout which a resolution will be presentedto the National Assembly for approvation by the parliament. The successful battle in the Kazulian waters furthermore was a great boast for the prestige and the approvation rate of the Prime Minister and his party.
Despite the Prime Minister is about to 79, he declared to the press after the elections to be ready to form a new government, the 8th one led by Tarso, who said that the natural choice to form a new Government will be the Left Bloc, the new leftist party entered the parliament with 96 votes making it the second-last party.
The Prime Minister released then, as usual, a nationwide message to the nation:

Citizens of Istalia, after so many years, once again I am here to thank you for your trust. And as I have always done I promise you that I will continue to serve the country with the people and for the people. I can assure you that my resolve is and will remain firm and always aimed at the good and prosperity of the country. I hope that great events will take place in Istalia. I am resolved to launch the first of the great amphibious ships for the navy now under construction for several years, so I would like to inaugurate and see the Tower of the Istalians finally reach its maximum height, but one thing that really matters to me, I wish to see the fascist Kzulian regime finally defeated. Last year's naval victory showed that the fascists are increasingly weak, that they are no longer able to lead the nation that is rebelling. I do not exclude that even a terrestrial intervention can be conducted to join the rebel and gaduridos troops that are already fighting against tyranny. In this regard, shortly before the elections, I met the Emperor and his staff just to discuss such a prospect. Her Majesty said he was worried about the losses and I found that despite the martial severity of his face he was very impressed by the recent naval battle and by the losses found; in spite of this, His Majesty cannot fail to worry about the fate of the Kazulians and other ethnic groups in Kazulia deprived of liberty and rights but I can tell you that I have found support from the Armed Forces that analyzing the situation have judged how such an intervention could be decisive for the fall of the fascist regime and that the losses for this will be contained. Our boys are fighting for freedom and democracy, Istalia is holding out a hand to an oppressed and suffering people. Istalia is demonstrating the solidarity that serves the world. This government is proving to be faithful to the principles of solidarity and brotherhood among the peoples professed by our principles and values. Unfortunately, as young people learn by growing up, we can find ourselves faced with situations that we understand not to be solvable by the best and most noble means, but which require the most severe sacrifices and decisions. Not for us, but for others. "Solidarity" was the key word of my government action and that of S&D and I assure you that it will continue to be so.
Thank you all

Emperor Alessandro spoke to the Nation expressing sorrow and dismay after the terrorist attacks in Dorvik
His Majesty let himself go in a great outpouring of human suffering for the violence and abuses perpetrated in the world against human rights, freedom and democracy


15 February 4607

ROMULA - His Majesty Emperor Alessandro I yesterday evening spoke to the Nation through televised message let himself go expressing the most deeply condolances to the People of Dorvik which few days ago suffered a terrifying terroristic attack which caused hundreds of deaths. The Emperor expressed also his invitation to the Government and Istalia to lend a hand to Dorvik in this moment of needs, promoting greater cooperation between democracies to contrast such crimes as well as the ones perpetrated by undemocratic regimes around the world. Also the Kazulian Crisis was touched by Emperor's speech expressing once again his concerns and his human dismay for the conflict.

His Majesty Office made also know that His Majesty telephoned President Finn Reinmann and personally offered condolences on behalf of the Istalian people and the Istalian Crown to the Dorvish government and people for the victims of the despicable terrorist attack. He affirmed all his human solidarity with Dorvik and condemnation for such cowardly act and of terrorism in all its forms.

This is Emperor's Speech to the Nation:

People of Istalia,
it is with great consternation that I address you and the nation all today, because serious and concerning news is arriving from all over the world and generating great concern in me.
It's with the most deeply saddeness that I learned of the appalling events happened in Dorvik, the terribile terrorist attacks that have shocked the country and its people. I feel a tremendous sorrow and my thoughts go out to all those affected, especially to the victims and their loved ones and I want express how the People of Istalia and me are dismayed and horrified by these heinous acts, and I would like express the most saddened condolences and the closeness of all Istalia and of the Istalian Crown to the People of Dorvik.
Great sadness generates the fact that such a terrible attack was brought against a young new Dorvish democracy ready to resume its journey and position among the countries of the free world, an attack that seems to have been carried out to undermine this newfound stability. I am among those who feel alarm and dismay for all this. It is vitally important that we show today all our solidarity to Dorvik, condamning such vile acts of cowardice and offering our assistance to stand against these unfathomable acts of terrorisms.
It's my intention to promote to the Government to offer all the assistance of the Istalian Empire to Dorvik and it is also my intention to advice the Prime Minister so to lend a hand to this new dorvish democracy helping the Dorvish People to preserve and continue on this new path toward freedom and democracy.
Obviously, I demand also to the Government and to our diplomatic staff in Dorvik to quickly act and cooperate to ascertain if Istalian citizens could be involved in the attacks and if istalian citizens could have been killed or wounded, organizing in case their return home.

I want to assure to the Dorvish People, however, that these criminal acts can do no more than unite a stricken people and a suffering nation even more, from such events democracy must strengthen itself and face this threat without bending. Such crimes must also promote greater understanding, closeness and cooperation between nations loyal to and united around the values ​​of Democracy and Freedom, to more effectively counter together the threats and attacks carried out against Democracy itself, so as not to give respite and pursue more effectively criminal perpetrators all over the world.
For this reason, I find myself in a position to advise the Prime Minister and the Government to start a phase of distension of relations and diplomatic rapprochement between Istalia and a Dorvik that finally seems to have left the communist authoritarian past behind to return on the road of democracy, as the democracies of the world should do to guarantee greater protection and serenity to their peoples, allied and united in those values ​​and in those principles.

Freedom and Democracy, two foundamental rights of the Man that today are seriously under attack and undermined in so many nations and denied to so many peoples.
As Guarantor and Supreme Defender of these noble and most high values and principles in Istalia, and as human being I sincerily cannot remain insensitive witnessing these rights violated and abused abroad causing to so many peoples inhuman sufferences and pain. Sufferences caused by criminals who can take on the role of foreign terrorists as well as the clothes of those who should aspire to the good of their people, betraying them and instead subjugating them to their own undisputed power and authority, like today is the case in many nations, like Pontesi or Kazulia.
Just about Kazulia, now it is up to my Government to decide the next measures to be adopted about the Kazulian crisis and the conflict with the Kazulian Fascist Regime and it is up to the most honorable representatives of the Nation and thus to the National Assembly of the Empire to finally express itself on the proposals by the Government.
But if the government and the representatives of the Nation were to decide to send our forces on the ground in Kazulia to fight fascism, well, I cannot but spur our men so that, with their heads held high, such a horrible fascist threat will be faced, so that, by making us bearers of the light of freedom, in aid of the broken democracy in Kazulia, help and hope to the oppressed peoples in Kazulia will be brought and will aspire to the final liberation of the country from the fascist yoke that has perpetrated its crimes for too long.
The Imperial Armed Forces, as always the Armed Forces of Istalia, will prove, I am sure, not only the recovered high efficiency and ability to operate by projecting its force and always using the most advanced equipements that technology can offer, but also and again, like so many other times in the past, their humanity and their ability and willingness to assist and bring relief to the populations of the territories concerned, promoting legality and democracy, bringing honor and respect to our Fatherland, to our Values, to our Principles.
However, I will conclude by saying that, whatever the measures that will be decided and then adopted, I hope that the conflict in Kazulia will end as soon as possible and that the Kazulian people will be able to restore back their freedom and their serenity and that the forces of fascism will be definitively defeated and therefore that justice can prosecute, judge and condemn those ultimately found responsible for so much suffering.
What is certain and what I am sure is uniting the whole nation, it's the fact that today our thoughts go to all those who are suffering because of hatred, violence and fanaticism, uniting us however in the hope for a different and better future.

Thank you

Emperor Alessandro made also known that this invitation to the Zardic Sovereign was also propted by a certain degree of empathy to Emperor Filipe and Zardugal, where the ruling party is attacked by opposition and accused to have installed a dictatorship, like the infamous Istalian Nationalist Party did in the first years of the Istalian Empire, with allegations and attacks against Michele I and his family and which Emperor Alessandro, when heir to the throne, lived on his own skin.

His Majesty Office stated that the Emperor hopes to establish cordial relations with the new Zardic Emperor so to pave the way for a reapproachment between the Government of Romula and Fortreso.

The Emperor talked a lot with the Prime Minister mainly about the relations of Istalia with our own continent, underligning how actually the only developed and strong relations of Istalia is the one with Solentia. Furthermore, the Emperor expressed his concerns about the recent development occured in Vanuku, the only other nation in Majatra with which Istalia was working on a resume of relations and which today is fallen under communist rule about which there are no certitude about the future kind of Government and with the Pontesian segregationist regime Majatra risks to host two dictatorial regimes.

The Emperor, finally, talked with Tarso about the future of Kazulia, which currently is on the way to leave behind the horrors of the fascist regime and to return back on the path of democracy. The Kazulian Royal Family is about to come back in Skalm where Queen (in exile) Astrid will be able to be fully crowned as legitime Sovereign of the restored Kingdom of Kazulia. His Majesty expressed to the Prime Minister his desires to invite Queen Astrid in Istalia and then to visit Kazulia itself to see the devastation of the war, mourning all the fallen with the local institution and with the Kazulians.
The Emperor, finally, promoted to the Prime Minister the development of stronger relations with Gaduri, alongside which Istalia was about to intervene on the ground before the end of the war.
