National Political Analyst and ReporterPORTEȘTI - After registering some months ago, two recently-formed parties, them being the Partidul Liberal Democrat (Liberal Democratic Party) in Kizenia and the Újndrálon Polgári Demokrata Szövetség (New Endralon Civic Democratic Union) in New Endralon, have entered into the recently ordained snap elections as the Civic Alliance, a broadly pragmatic political party that its Chair, Timotei Grigorescu, claims to be mostly nonpartisan but is seemingly of a centrist to to center-right bent. Despite a quick and somewhat unprepared coalition the party came out on top in the snap elections, winning a majority of seats within the Confederal Assembly and the offices of national leadership. Already, plans are underway to draft a bipartisan cabinet, with members hailing from both their respective parties.
Both parties campaigned on maintaining the federalist structure of the Confederation, and modernizing the constitution to enshrine definitive rights to both Kizenia and New Endralon, alongside advancing autonomy for the Kuzaki region and its peoples. The party's elected candidate for President of the Council of Ministers, Petre Mocanu, an ethnic Kizenian himself, campaigned on advancing the national economy to catch up with major powers, cutting red tape and deregulating some laws to encourage private investment, alongside working with the party's incoming Finance Minister to draft tax reform. The nation experienced a flurry of reforms under the technocrats, but the economy soon stagnated after the party's collapse in October 4935. Mocanu promised that reform to the economy would come, but kept to a federalist character, and seemingly expressed a hint of libertarianism with an off-hand comment to reporters during the election, stating that "the federal government must collaborate with our Confederated States on economic matters, sure - but they are ultimately the masters of their own realms. Is that not the purpose of our Confederation?" the statement seemingly caught some members of the coalition off guard, whose members of each respective parties had agreed to a modest degree of government assistance to kickstart economic growth programs.
Nevertheless, with the immediate hurdles out of the way, the incoming Civic Alliance government vowed to reassert the Confederation's role not just in Keris, but in Terra as a whole. The party's appointed incoming Foreign Minister Aurel Lupescu has sought to renew the nation's connections with the world, drawing closer to the world's leading nations such as Deltaria and Hutori, among others. "Our country has stagnated for decades," he stated in a candid interview. "It's time to reconnect ourselves with the world, both diplomatically and economically, and chalk out key trade deals to not only reintegrate ourselves into the global economy, but to also forge burgeoning relationships with the leading nations of the world."
Among other things, the party has stated its interest to form a draft committee for the creation of a new, modern constitution for the Confederation, to firmly cement federal powers for both nations and guarantee basic rights and laws for all its peoples.
