Dorvish News Service
Harsh reaction to attempt communist legislative coup
October, 4644
Haldor, Kordusia - Social Nationalist Party leaders held an emergency meeting of the State Security and Defense Council, without the President, to discuss the attempt legislative coup that the Communist Party attempted with the "Presidential Powers Act" attempting to grant semi-dictatorial powers to the President of the Dorvish Republic. The beginning of the vote was held as SNP members were leaving for the weekend, prompting a massive return of SNP State Council Deputies. The vote will be defeated thanks to the swift action of State Council President Karsten von Heusmann and members of the SNP's State Leadership Office. Word quickly spread as the Dorvish News Service got hold of the news and protests formed across Dorvik, many of them chanting for the Communist Party to be dissolved and to remove the Communist Party from the State Council. The Dorvish State Security Service was dispatched by State Chancellor Johannes Josef von Bahr and he dispatched the entirety of the Security Police, the armed police force of the State Security Service. SSD officers across Dorvik were dispatched to politically important locations and the State Chancellor called for calm as tensions rose in several locations, notably Haldor where the government is majority of Communist. Despite this, the SNP, which has historically been a dominant party in Dorvik has many supporters and many SNP Deputies following the attempted legislative coup returned to their constituencies to rally their supporters, many of them underneath the protection of the Dorvish Legislature Police's Leadership Protection Office.
The emergency meeting of the State Security and Defense Council was the to address the "Communist and Socialist Question" which culminated in a series of announcements aimed at "...radical and militant communist and socialist groups..." For instance, the State Security Service conducted raids in Westmark at the alleged homes of leaders of the Alliance of Red Front Fighters, or the "Rotfront" which has been involved in a number of terrorist actions across Dorvik. The Alliance of Red Front Fighters was at one point considered dismantled but the rise of the Communist in Dorvik have given them new members and funding, a point of contention for the Dorvish people and the SNP. State Chancellor Bahr promised that raids and crack-downs will continue on "...bandits..." and "...terrorist..." across Dorvik. Some political experts believe that the Dorvish government, which has largely focused on undoing Communist and Socialist-era policies, is focusing on the home front before returning to world affairs. Despite tense political efforts at home, the Dorvish have continued to frame the work for the Artanian League that is being worked on with Narikaton and Darnussia, Dorvik has made several arms deals with Narikaton and Darnussia (another that is rumored in the near future), Ostland and other countries while continuing to expand domestic economic efforts such as rebuilding local investment into local economies, focusing on the development of the Foreign Capital Fund and conducting reviews of every state organization and agency.
