Selucia in the darknessThe result of the last elections and the apparition of new parties take Selucia to an unexplored territorySupporters of In Marea-Civis Sinistram watching the resultsTonight, the results of the 4302 Selucian elections were announced. And with the highest ever participation percentage (90.97%, 68,124,965 votes), the bewilderment has taken over the nation. With more than 40% of the votes, Factio Foedarati has become the largest party in the Senate, and has already formed Government with Partis Imperialis, 3rd in this elections, leaving In Marea-Civis Sinistram (2nd) in the opposition. While this may seem like a normal action, the truth is that the parties competing in this elections, including the winning party, have been shaking the worst memories of Selucia.
With hard proposals in immigration, religion and civil rights, parties that have not got representation in the senate are finding their voice in the figure of Factio Foedarati.
Among this proposals, it is included the increase of the retirement age from 63 to 67 years old, the mandatory national services, or the privatization of every single part of Selucia. But what has shaken the worst feelings has been the proposal of Fascist Regimen Immutata, the new fascist party of Selucia, which literally says:
Swimming is a very relevant and important sport in Selucian culture. We, the Fascist Regimen Immutata, would like to adjust this slightly. We propose to change the national sport to: The swimming of the filth.
In this, we integrate the deep hatred for religious minorities into the national love for swimming. Every year, all the religious minority groups, such as Yeudism or Felinism, will be round up by the Selucian National Military. They will then be lined up on the coast of Marestella and be forced to swim to Oriensos. Those who refuse to swim, will receive a life sentence. Those who make it, will receive no prize of any kind and will have to swim back to their respective islands if they wish to return home. Then, those who don't make it, don't make it.
We hope the other parties will come to their senses, and accept this as the new national sport.
This proposal has so far received the support of the Factio Foedarati, but the combined deputies of In Marea-Civis Sinistram and Partis Imperialis will stop its implementation.
All the proposals submitted have launched the alarms in In Marea-Civis Sinistram. They have already announced contacts with Partis Imperialis to reconsider their position and to form an "emergency cabinet" between both parties in order to stop the fascist measures of the new parties. So far there has been no answer, but In Marea is hopeful.
Despite our ideological differences, we know that Partis Imperialis loves Selucia as much as we do. We love the fraternity of its people, we love the respect for each other, and we have to try to stop this madness before it's too late. Now we have the deputies. We don't know what will happen in the next elections.
After a hard campaign, full of insults and scorns to some parts of the Selucian citizens from the new parties, when the results came out no one could explain them. Traditional voters of In Marea-Civis Sinistram and Partis Imperialis were equally shocked, wondering what had gone wrong with some of the Selucians to turn that far.
I can't believe I'm living this moment. After hundreds of years of stability, Selucia seems to reach the border of the darkness. I'm not a huge fan of In Marea and I voted for Partis Imperialis, but I would prefer a government between both of them rather than with these bunch of fascists.
A woman said.
Partis Imperialis is too far right for me, but the new parties? Oh God protect us... I hope IMCS and PI do the right thing because if not... Who the f***k has voted those people? They are crazy, they just want to burn Selucia down!
Caesar Regens Petrus Viator has already advised:
Selucia is strong. Selucia will not be broken by a group of extremists that look only for their own interests. We know that the equality prevales in the mind of every Selucian, and I'll work hard to do my best in avoiding these scandalous measures
After this elections, the measures against the Wolfstheim plague, the funding on investigations and the extradition of Juliana Mede is on the air.
The reelected Praetor of Insularia with absolute majority, Zenon Gogolas, currently working in Baltusia to find a cure to the Disease, has already sent a message of hope:
I will not let this bunch of fascists to touch my home. Insularia will not respect any fascist law and will take to the Highest Court any law that goes against the basic principles of human dignity and civil rights. Be sure of that. Insularia will not fall into chaos, and I'll be the first one in every single manifestation.
One of the protests in InsulariaThere is no Government to shut up the people
The people united will never be defeated
From north to south, from east to west, the battle continues no matter what the cost
If you do not let us dream, we will not let you sleep
Were some of the most repeated sentences by the protesters in the regions were In Marea or Partis Imperialis won the elections (Insularia, Occidentria and Oriensos)
