said one of the leaders of the organization, Maja Ciborowska, speaker in hand."We must express ourselves, we must say that we are fed up with this situation, that it is time to turn the system around. It is time to ask for a change, to try, giving the voice to the citizens, to carry out the reforms that our nation needs to join us all and progress "
Interviewer: Welcome here, and thank you for your time, Mr. Bojarski.
Dymitr Bojarski: The pleasure is mine, thank you for inviting me.
I: First things first: What led you to join Forward Valruzia, already having a solvent and stable job?
D.B: Since childhood I have always been interested in helping people. Injustices is something that I cannot tolerate, and that was what led me both to join the army and to study law. I felt that the more I could do for others, the better. That is why when Maja [Ciborowska] contacted me personally after the trials that took place against the protesters led by her organization, and told me that they were in the process of transforming into a political party in order to force an electoral call and that she wanted me to be the person leading the project, I accepted without thinking about it. I had already followed the protests closely, and during all the years that I have lived in Valruzia, I had never seen such a strong feeling of tiredness and anger towards the political class. We did not live in democracy, we lived in an autocracy. But that will change now that we are in government, now that we bring the reforms that Valruzia needs.
I: Your party only got a participation of just over 15% of the electoral roll.
D.B: And that is something remarkable. For decades, electoral participation did not increase even over the 5%, because citizens already knew that the elections were rigged and that they could not change it. Until we have managed to organize for it. In the end, the people have the power, although sometimes the leaders forget it. We are going to try not to do so, to restore power to the people who have chosen us.
I: What are the proposals that your party intends to implement, given that it has an absolute majority in the Sejm [National Parliament]?
D.B: We are already working on it. At the moment, the Sejm is processing a law that will shorten the periods between election and election, going from 5 years and a half to 4; we have created the position of Chancellor, which would be the equivalent of the Prime Minister but endowing him with real executive powers; We are in the process of formalizing the legislation that will govern the election of regional governors so that citizens can feel represented more closely, in what will be a joint election where the most voted regional party in the regional elections will be the one that may elect the governor, although this does not have to guarantee a stable parliamentary majority; and we are also currently creating a law for the creation and improvement of referendums at the national level, so that citizens can feel partakers of institutional life. All this in addition to the laws we intend to pass in relation to equality, the protection of historically discriminated groups, the protection of the environment or the improvement of public services. In the same way, Mrs. Ciborowska will begin to make institutional visits at an international level to reinvigorate the image of Valruzia, which has been seriously damaged by the lack of interest and authoritarianism of the previous regime.
I. The way you say it, it seems a hard task ahead. Do you think you will have enough time?
D.B: We are going to try it. In any case, we trust that citizens will see that we are contributing to improve their quality of life and continue to trust us and, if possible, increase electoral participation by earning their trust.
I: Finally, don't you fear that the existence of a single party in the Sejm will be seen again by citizens as a new form of autocracy or a single-party dictatorial regime?
D.B: [Laughs] It would be curious, at least. Our party has its origin in civil society, has been built by and for the benefit of citizens ...
I: Citizens who consider themselves leftist.
D.B: Citizens who believe in real equality and social republicanism, in which we have to move forward and not back down in rights and freedoms. As I was saying, it would be curious if citizens thought they had returned to a quasi-dictatorial regime, especially since we are approving mechanisms for citizen participation and the return of political powers to neighborhoods and cities. In fact, we encourage the emergence of other political parties with which to compete, in order to offer citizens the best of each.
I: Thank you very much for your time, and good luck
"We shall be a force to be reckoned with my friends, my countrymen. We will oppose the ruling Forward Valruzia and we will tear down their leftist state. Together we shall build a Safe and Traditional Valruzia!"
"It is a pride for my party, for the government and for me personally, to present the names of these seven people, all of them excellent in their fields of work, which from now on will occupy the highest level of justice in our nation. I have full confidence in them and I trust they will know how to live up to the circumstances. "
This is a historic day and we all should be extremely proud! Without you, the people, we would not have been able to win so many votes, so many seats, so many states and above all the Presidency! Our movement began in late December last year and it will continue forever, with one purpose, to serve the people of Valruzia. Thank you all and God bless this great Republic! God bless our great Valruzia!
"These results have undoubtedly left us with a bittersweet taste. There is no doubt that the fact that participation has shot up to more than 50% is a hopeful result, considering that when we decide to transform Valruzia back into a full democracy citizens hardly took part in political decisions. Obviously we are aware that, although we are going to be able to rule one more legislature, citizens have not granted us the majority in number of votes at national level. We do not regret these four years that we have been working for the well-being of citizens, and we welcome Safety and Tradition to the political landscape."
"There is no doubt that Forward Valruzia has fulfilled its mission, to return democracy and dignity to our nation and our institutions. Perhaps it is time to, for respect to the memory of those protests, leave the name of" Forward Valruzia " back and adopt a new denomination. In any case, the most important thing is that now the government will focus on improving the living conditions and social policies of our citizens.The previous legislature has been tough and exhausting, for the amount of administrative laws that we had to pass, and that citizens may not have been able to see it. In any case, in this legislature we will work more for them, and we will see in the next elections. "
said the Minister,"The function of a government is to provide the best possible services to its citizens,"
"and this also goes through every effort to protect them from an eventual case of enemy attack. It is undeniable that in today's world the chances of a large-scale military war is small, but we have already seen how in other continents such as the south of Majatra, military offensives that have triggered major conflicts have begun, and that is also undeniable. From the government we believe that the best solutions to protect our citizens are anticipation and deterrence. The first will be done by building a large network of bunkers in public buildings - hospitals, universities, subway networks, museums and town halls - while the second will be possible thanks to the publication of the report of defensive units of our nation, without detailing their positions but so that any nation that tries to attack us know they would suffer serious damage that would not compensate it."
