Valruzian government welcomes Deltarian concerns: "We are happy to work with them in finding a solution to this problem"
The Valruzian government calls on Deltaria to take its responsibility and work with the international community
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As the AC Strike Group nears Noumonde, Deltaria accused the Valruzian authorities of Imperialism because of its planned intervention into the country.
President Batko told news reporters that

"the valruzian government welcomes Deltarian concerns for the wellbeing of the Noumonde people and would like Deltaria to take its responsibility and come with a humane and reasonable solution to this crisis, although ofcourse we know that normally Deltaria deals with its problems by invading its neighbours or installing puppet regimes. Which is not imperialism ofcourse, but despite this we hope Deltaria works with the international community to do what is best for the Noumonde people's"


Valruzia also announced it would not be backing down its AC Strike Group.

Government reaches bailout deal with NNB
The Valruzian government has reached a deal for a bailout of the NNB bank
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

While the economic crisis continues the government has finally managed to reach a deal with the Nowogard National Bank for a bailout.
According to the deal the NNB will allow a special commission made up of prominent economists from both the government and the bank itself to restructure the bank and make it substainable again. The restructuring will include the cut in funding for several programs of the NNB as well as a complete overhaul of all its departments and changes in their procedures in an effort to maximize efficiency.

The bank will also be forced to fire over 500 of its total 10.000 workers. In exchange for all these concessions the government will aid the bank by giving monetary grants in packages of 5 billion VPO each. Once another goal has been reached (for example the restructuring) the bank will receive a package of 5 billion VPO which can amount up to 5 packages in total, this excludes the initial aid of 10 billion VPO that will be granted by the government to keep the bank running in the short term.

Our government is very satisfied with this deal and will put it in front of the Sejm immediately, once the Sejm approves of the plans with a simple majority vote we will start the program to safe this important bank. The government and society cannot afford to have this bank fail because of its big size and importance to the population. We call upon all parties to support this measure


Said finance minister Prodan Mrdakovic during a press conference on the matter.

According to the Finance Ministry the government is still in talks with the second failing bank called "Valruzian Distribution Bank" VDB.
While the government is making steps in saving vital companies the stock market is showing signs of improving with a point loss of only 34 points this morning the loss for the stock market is slowly becoming less and less. Growthrate for the economy is still stagnant at -3.4%, the lowest it has been in decades. Unemployment is also increasing with over 11% of the working population now unemployed. Will the government manage to get Valruzia out of the crisis?

The Kampanian Songbird
The Kampanian Songbird is a regional newsmagazine which is considered to exhibit a centre to centre-left attitude on economic issues.

Razem Ponders Future In Transforming Political Scene
May 6, 4460


"No doubt the party's vote share will shrink at the next election but as a party, we will be happier for that misfortune." Those were the words of Mateusz Kopacz, Razem's Education Spokesman in an unguarded moment during an interview with the Kampanian Songbird. The eighteen months since the last election have seen the sprouting of three new, strong left-leaning parties in Valruzia. The millions of left-leaning voters who backed Razem in the previous now have new homes to consider.

Instead of grieving over this development, many Razem "deep purple" social liberals are quietly relieved. The horde of leftwing voters had pushed the party's balance too far to the centre-left for their comfort. Many of them have much more centrist views on economics, sometimes even centre-right. They feel that with the "entryists" gone, the party can now become a truly social liberal one, firmly anchored at the "extreme centre" of Valruzian politics.

There's a rising feeling that party leader Mikolaj Sikorski is too left-leaning for this vision and remains geared towards retaining Razem as a big tent party of the centre and centre-left. Perhaps paradoxically, his support for the Valruzian intervention has received support from social liberals but at the same time, the more centre-left supporters he so desperately seeks to retain, are strongly opposed to this intervention.

Action Plan for NNB passed in the Sejm, first efforts seem succesfull
As the actionplan for the NNB bank passes in the sejm the first restructuring seems succesfull, government anounces further investments
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As the NNB bank deal passes the Sejm the first steps in making it healthy again seem to work, the commission put to work to restructure the bank has already pushed through the first steps in doing so and the initial bailout of 10 billion VPO has proved the help the bank in bringing back some much needed reserves.
The plan is that in the next 3 months the first extra bailout package of 5 billion will be granted and that the bank will fire the 500 workers that they need to fire according to the deal.

As the NNB is being saved the government is also announcing several other investment programs in infrastructure, company subsidies and extra public works programs to try and get the economy back on track.
First signs show promise as the growthrate has risen from -3.4% to -3.0% as well as unemployment dropping from 11% to 10% thanks to the manpower needed for the various government programs. If this trend continues the economy is set on a path of reconstruction. The only thing that remains for the government to actively worry about if all this is done is the debt.

The government is running a big deficit and has already accumulated a lot of debt. While the NPR would like to decrease spending their partners in Razem and the CP are firmly against decreasing spending and would rather see a tax increase, which is unnaceptable for the NPR. How the government will deal with this deficit crisis remains to be seen.

Defense Ministry to start development on new Anti Ship missiles, contracts with VAG
With the limited budget of the Defense Ministry during these years of crisis they have started the development of a new Anti Ship missile instead of their previous plans to develop more expensive equipment
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Defense Ministry has requested VAG to start the development on a new Anti Ship missile called the 3A-57 Kaliber.
The missile was designed by VAG some 7 years ago but never went into production, the defense ministry has according to inside sources placed an order of 1.500 new missiles for the navy.

The 3A-57 Kaliber is not the newest anti ship missile on the market, some variants of the missile have already been produced in other countries, mainly Trigunia. Despite this the missile is a "welcomed asset" in the Valruzian navy according to Defense Minister Dušan Swiatkowski.

This missile will increase the capability of our naval forces to respond effectively to any and all threats, with this new asset the navy can do the work we expect them to do in a proper fashion


The missiles will likely be delivered in the second quarter of next year, VAG has confirmed the order to reporters and says it will "deliver a quality product on which the Valruzian armed forces can trust"

The new missile will also have the capability of being used on Submarine craft as well as normal cruiser naval ships.

Valruzian Airforce departs from the Aircraft Carrier ORW Rusia and launches first airstrikes on Noumonde regime
the Valruzian airforce launches strategic strikes on military installations in Noumonde, responds to Deltaria
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The war is on, as federation troops enter New Alduria and prepare their own campaign into Noumonde Valruzia has launched airstrikes from their Aircraft Carrier the ORW Rusia.
These airstrikes are targeted on strategic military installations and defensive positions of the Noumonde armed forces. The Defense Ministry confirmed that the first airstrikes have hit their intended targets and that more bombing missions are on their way.

Image

The first targets of the air campaign which the ministry has called "Operation Inferno" where targeted at several military communication bases as well as important supply lines for the Noumonde army.
The main aim of Operation Inferno is working together with Federation air units in weakening the military infrastructure of Noumonde and make it easier for a possible ground invasion to occur.

Prime Minister Cisek has also responded to the Deltarian "solution" to the problem as the air campaign commenced.

We thank Deltaria for their detailed plan in solving the situation, we must however conclude that while Deltaria gives us the advice to back down and not involve ourselves in this matter they have, by advicing that course of action to us, involved themselves in the matter as well. Which makes their advice rather weird and inconclusive. Valruzia will continue its actions for the freedom of the people of Noumonde with the support of the WCGA president


It is expected that the Federation airforce will soon join its Valruzian counterpart in the bombing campaign.

King Julien seriously injured by Valruzian airstrikes

The rightful King of Noumonde Julien XIII has been seriously injured by a Valruzian airstrike on a Noumondian
government base he was in the process of storming. He was leading the King Julien XIII Volunteer Brigade into
battle when Valruzian forces bombed the coastal fort.

Despite his injuries, King Julien has declared from his hospital bed that he has no ill will towards the Valruzians
but has suggested that they coordinate any future actions with the Noumondian opposition. The king is expected
to make a full recovery by next week.

Razem Deputy Leader Resigns
Sources: Leadership Challenge "Imminent"
December 4460

Razem's Deputy Leader Mieszko Zylinski has resigned from his position following a heated argument with party leader Mikolaj Sikorski. The two fought during a party room meeting over the Valruzian intervention in Noumonde. Sikorski strongly supports the mission, deeming it to be an example of humanitarian intervention. Zylinski disputes this and called for his party to withdraw its support for the mission and reconsider its support for the Cisek centre right government all in all. It is not Valruzia's job according to Zylinski to rush off to save the Noumons while its own economy remains in serious trouble.

Party insiders claim that Zylinski had already started signing up supporters for a leadership challenge expected in the next few weeks. According to party rules, he would need the support of 25% of the parliamentary party to trigger a leadership election. Leaders are elected by the party membership in an online ballot. Observers deem the dispute to be a largely personality-based clash as both men are considered to be from the rightwing of the party and with few other policy differences.
