President Touts Legislative Achievement

Image

The President, flanked by her Die Linke vice-president, Sahrah Lisent, has touted recent successes of the government in reforming Dorvik. Government victories include abolishing the death penalty, regulating firearms and allowing foreign companies to more easily buy into the Dorvish economy. These achievements were unanimously supported by all government factions, despite expected left-right divides. The President called these legislative achievements 'proof that our moderate government is making Dorvik whole again'.

Despite the recent scandal of several hundred Karlberg Metz statues being bought by a town in Westmark, and some being put on the Finance Minister's front garden, the government and governor of Westmark assure DNS that 'the situation and the finances of said town are under control'. The government is also working on appointing several new ambassadors with the help of the LKP and DL, changing Dorvish foreign policy to 'a highly diplomatic and consistent state of affairs'.

The government has had issues recently with internal debates over the hot-button issue of immigration, but the President has said that 'these are healthy differences and it shows that we don't force our ministers and representatives to do things'. She added that the government is 'entirely transparent, lacking in any form of corruption and totally honest', the three main points of her campaign last time after questions of presidential ethics arose from the famous scandal of Grunebaum's successor and Grunebaum's role in it.

June 4306

Dump Vanuku, urge Commies

The Communist Party have proposed a bill which would switch Dorvik's Security Council Seat B vote from Vanuku to Istalia. This is in protest at Vanuku's Mutual Aid and Co-operation Pact with Leopold Nimitz's controversial regime in Hulstria, and also their alleged low level of overseas aid spending.

Communist MPs are furious about a letter they received from Hulstria's Foreign Minister in response to their proposal to recognise the Communist opposition in Hulstria as the legitimate government.

The letter in question read as follows:

To the Honourable Käthe Grunebaum, President of Dorvik, and members of the Republican Parlament,

We must make you aware, that if the bill - Recognition of the Volksstaat Hulsterreich - proposed by the Dorvish Communist Party passes it will be seen as an act of unprecedented aggression towards the recognised government of the Imperial Crownlands of Hulstria and a clear attempt to illegally interfere with our national sovereignty and propagate terrorism within our borders.

(OOC: The bill in question - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=546056)

Any unilateral action such as this would also be deemed, I am sure, as most irresponsible by the world community who currently respects Dorvik's position as a Security Council member and would have that nation abide by the resolutions of the World Congress rather than back and promote rogue far left terror groups.

Should it be necessary we will work with our allies in Vanuku, with whom we have a military defence pact, (http://classic.particracy.net/viewtreat ... atyid=3932) and, if necessary, trade and military sanctions will be considered.

Albrecht Kohl
Foreign Affairs Minister of Hulstria



Pfeiffer hosts "Capitalism in Maths" conference

Friedrich Pfeiffer, who briefly served as a Communist Education Minister, is hosting a conference of the International Metzist Maths Teachers Organisation in Haldor, which is studying the subject of "Capitalism in Maths: how our maths school curricula are used to promote bourgeois capitalist ideology and undermine proletarian class consciousness". He will tell the conference that "When I was Education Minister, I was appalled by what I found out about how maths is taught - not only in Dorvik, but all over the world" and that "it is time to take the subject of maths back from the elite, and give it back to the people" because "the whole syllabus is saturated with right-wing politics".


Global warming "a gift from the Banana Gods"

Image

Ilsa Sitz, the Founder and Prophetess of the Spirituality of the Banana (SotB) cult, has claimed global warming and slowly increasing average temperatures in Dorvik are "a good thing" and "a sign that the Banana Gods are blessing our society and our leaders". When asked why she thought this was the case, she gave our interviewer a puzzled look, paused, and then explained that "Dorvik has a cold climate" but that "if our temperature keeps increasing, in a 100 years time it will be possible to grow bananas here in Dorvik, in natural and non-artificial conditions, and that will be the greatest blessing we could possibly have".

Sitz is encouraging her followers to write letters to Environment Minister Iris Manfreda, asking her to "increase the acceleration of average temperatures in Dorvik". However, under questioning from our interviewer, she did not seem to have any clear ideas as to how this should be accomplished.

Image

She later caused some confusion amongst her followers by suggesting on her blog that the crescent moon is a banana. A number of followers posted replies to her post with comments such as "but it must be very cold up there" and "didn't you say bananas like the sun?" However, she successfully addressed all of these concerns by explaining that "the moon is a banana which has transcended to a higher plane of reality where the sun and the heat do not matter".

Image

She also claimed the sun is "a highly evolved facet of banana consciousness" and that "if you reach the highest stage of banana spirituality you will be able to look at the sun directly with your eyes".

LIES LIES LIES

Theodore Aswalt the leader of the opposition party TGP has attacked president Grunebaum today.
Aswalt has repeatedly called the president a "Pathological liar" and today added to that comment during a meet up for republicans.

While the people of Dorvik work day and night to secure their future for themselves, the people running our nation do the opposite. They do not fight for the people they fight for their own seats and their own wealth. President Grunebaum came with such great words and promises that this government would stand for Hope and Unity while she votes in favor of a federal republic! The very same federal republic that proved to not work in dorvik. The same federal republic that will do the opposite of the so called "unity" that our president promote's. Creating a federal republic will weaken our unity. It will give regions the power to exclude themselves from eachother making the very resentment towards each other even worse. If you really want to unite the people of this nation madam president you need to step up and fight for our beloved republic. You have to see that a federal republic will only encourage the divide we have in our society these days. And that the only sollution is to preserve the Unitarian republic! The message of "unity" of this government is a lie if they are willing to throw away our beloved system. The fact that the president has even gotten rid of our unique Staatsrat name which is a beacon of democracy and recognition for the rest of the world shows that the only thing she wants to give us is division, desintergration and lies. Lies Lies and more Lies those are the things i see in this president. But i will stand here for the Dorvish people. I will defend them when you do not. I will protect our unity while you sit in your presidential office looking out of the window while the people fight and hate eachother.

Former Ambassador To The World congress, Ada von Kurtz, Savages Aswalt

Image

Ada von Kurtz, the former Dorvish ambassador to the world congress, has today - in an interview in her office - attacked the leader of the TGP, Theodore Aswalt, as 'a fucking lunatic' in an off-the-record rant that encapsulates most of Dorvik's opinions on Aswalt, whose vague talk of unity and standing up for people has more grinded at the gears of coalition supporters than won them over. Indeed, he seems to be pandering to his base much like his party's former leaders, rather than taking up a new direction for the TGP.

Kurtz's attacks on Aswalt ranged from the vicious to the hilarious. From accusing the TGP leader of 'mental illness' to pointing out that he takes as big a salary as all of his other parliamentary colleagues. Furthermore, Kurtz savaged the dire language of Aswalt in regards to the idea of a federal republic, saying it would make all different parts of Dorvik listened to and powerful, rather than tearing people apart. Despite the swearing, the rant is already making the rounds on social media, and Kurtz now has more followers than Aswalt.

Ada von Kurtz is not above scandal. She was removed as the Dorvish ambassador to the world congress after allegations of breaking the code of non-partisanship that ambassadors are meant to abide by. Unsurprisingly, she was reluctantly fired by the government. She re-entered government later as a politician in her home state of Largonia, were she was Renewal's governorship candidate as well as a representative to the State Council and now a Member of the Dorvish Parliament. She's also a straight-talker, as you can see.

Her full comments:
I really don't get him. He's not constructive, he's not a uniter. He's a fucking lunatic. His pathetic little speeches as he rides around on a 14-year-old's bike are the most deranged displays of mental illness I have ever been forced to endure. Every word he says makes no sense.

Firstly, he says we work for our own wealth and our seats. Like, Theo, you take your salary like the rest of us do.

Secondly, he acts like a Federal Republic is akin to a communist dictatorship. It's your opinion, douche, there's no objectivity in it. It's his kind of people that nearly made the South secede, he's got not respect for regional culture or differences of opinion. Everyone has to be TGP, or else you need to get purged. He's just like his idol, mentally ill.

And the name of the fucking building, don't get me started. And the grand-standing, I mean, what a narcissist. Dude, you're the one making hateful speeches. Nobody else is doing that!

October 4306

Dorvik set to abandon nuclear weapons?

A bill proposing to dismantle Dorvik's nuclear weapons arsenal looks set to pass in Parliament, with 341 of 563 MPs indicating they plan to vote in favour. The political left in Dorvik, particularly the Communist Party, has been campaigning against nuclear weapons for many years, and would see the passing of this bill as a considerable achievement.

Communist leader Anton Weinreich has gleefully told journalists:

If this bill passes, and I'm increasingly hopeful it will, Dorvik should dismantle its nuclear weapons live on national television and broadcast it all over Terra, free of charge, so the whole world can see. As a nation, the removal of these terrible weapons is something we should be very relieved and very proud to do.


Two of the nuclear missiles, “DA4 Gretchen” and “DA5 Gluck”, are named after right-wing politicians the Communists despised, and the spectacle of them being taken apart on television would doubtless give the Communists much satisfaction.


Communists protest against private oil companies

Image

Following the discovery of oil off the coasts of Largonia and Miktar, and proposals to hand exploitation rights to a Dorvish and a Valruzian company, the Communists have proposed the full nationalisation of all oil and gas resources in Dorvish territory. Anton Weinreich commented:

It is totally wrong to allow our natural resources, which should be used for the benefit of the ordinary Dorvish people, to be exploited by private companies, just so they can make profit. Some of these companies are not even Dorvish, so the profits are siphoned off abroad.


The Communist MP Herman Faust-Essen, who campaigned for the independence of Largonia and Miktar during the referendum a few years back, had a slightly different view:

The South is being completely left out of the decision-making process. This is our oil; it is off our waters, it belongs to us - the people of the South. Decisions should not be being made for us by big corporations, and certainly not by a big corporation from Valruzia. Nor should the decisions be being made by northerners in Haldor. It is my strong view that the oil off the coast of Largonia and Miktar should be placed under the guardianship of the elected Largonia and Miktar Provincial Administrations. That way, there will be local democratic accountability and the people will be given a proper say.


Weinreich expressed disagreement with Faust-Essen, arguing "the oil should be used in the interests of the whole of the people of Dorvik, not just the south".

Some others in the party, led by Erica Peters, have warned against the use of fossil fuels, urging the development of alternative energy sources instead, such as solar and wind power. It seems the Communists are not fully united on the issue.


Pfeiffer leads campaign to save Communist Bus Stop

Image
The last Communist Bus Stop in Karlstein Metz Street, in the south-eastern sector of Schrudehofen City

During the Kordusian Provincial Authority's tempestuous days of Communist rule, almost every bus stop was a "Communist Bus Stop", featuring hammers and sickles in the design, or else pictures of Karlstein Metz,Vladimir Leonid and other important figures in the history of communism. However, in the years since the Communists lost control of the KPA, the bus stops have slowly been replaced. Today there is only one left, in Karlstein Metz Street in Schrudehofen City.

Although it is not believed there are any immediate plans to remove the bus stop, Communist MP Friedrich Pfeiffer is keen to have it legally classified as a monument of significant historical interest, in order to prevent it from either being removed or significantly altered.

"Whatever you think of communism and Kordusia's period under Communist Party rule, it was a part of history," Pfeiffer said. He continued: "Everybody remembers the old Communist bus stops, and people are nostalgic about them - even people who don't like communism. I think it would be very sad if we lost the last of the old Communist bus stops, so I have written to President Grunebaum, asking her to intervene and give the bus stop protected legal status, to make sure we don't lose it. This is a very special, much-loved bus stop. We've surely got to preserve it."

OUTRAGE
People take to the internet

After the recent publication in DNS concerning an interview given by former World congress ambassador Ada von Kurtz an immense amount of TGP supporters and other right wing conservative supporters not affiliated with the TGP took to the social media and news platforms to show their shock concerning the statements in the interview. Immediately after the interview was published people took to their internet platforms to voice support for former president Treitschke who is still dealing with his illnes and with current leader Theodore Aswalt who according to most supporters has shown a considerable ability to talk directly to the people during for example the republican meetup and after the meetup itself. While supporters of Renewal and some other party's voiced their critique.

One supporter said:

Is this what our former diplomats will lower themselves to? I mean okay clearly this party has done some things that are questionable but to attack the current leader with the illnes of the previous one is just cruel man. In my opinion our former president has taken enough of a beating by the party's. Let the man rest.


The reactions kept coming in. Like this message posted on TerraSearch:

WOW. Okay i mean we all agreed that Treitschke had to be gone but we respected his illnes and now a supposed diplomat attacks Aswalt with the illness of Treitschke? I mean we gotta keep in mind that this is still a human being. Maybe he is still dealing with his illness how the hell should we know? This was cruel on the girls part


While Aswalt refused to comment on the interview reportedly saying
It doesnt even deserve one
Other high ranking TGP officials gave an exclusive statement to DNS.

President Treitschke had done something for which he payed a price. He has taken his responsibility after a mistake we admit had been made. We can report that Treitschke has once again been fighting his illness ever since he stepped down so he can hopefully end this chapter soon. He and his family are dissapointed that such a serious illness is used for political attacks against other politicians. Such use will cause the illness to be put in a bad perspective while victims of the illness which are not only the Treitschke family will have to deal with the effects of it every day. This nation was build on decency, unity prosperity and a great number of things. Today has not been a decent day in fact it was the very opposite of that. Treitschke has made a mistake for which he paid while he also delivered stable leadership for over 3 years being in office. He gave hope and a goal for a lot of Dorvish citizens and for that we are thankfull, and with us the people that stand with decency and respect.


Image
Aswalt coming out of his car to meet with TGP leadership

This was the statement by TGP leadership. After its release people began using the #DecentDorvik tag while writing story's about their encounters with undecent behaviour. All over the right side on the political spectrum people supported the statement made by TGP leadership and saw it as a "statement to think about"

Aswalt reportedly visited former president Treitschke in his home in Largonia to take a look on the situation and talk with his family, after 4 hours Aswalt left the residence to meet with the party leadership.

'Double-Thinking Half-Wit', Kurtz Fires Back At 'Hypocritical Psychopath'

Image

In yet another of her infamous interviews, Ada von Kurtz blasted the leader of the TGP as a 'double-thinking half-wit' and a 'hypocritical psychopath', before calling him 'the hypocrite-in-chief careerist swine-herder'. Her comments echo the strong anti-TGP opinions of many across the political spectrum, who have grown tired of what they label '#TGPbabbling'. Kurtz took particular issue with 'the cycle of the TGP saying something crazy, getting a response, then playing the victim and pretending they've suffered like nobody else'.

Kurtz also defended her savaging of former president Edmund Treitschke, who she said 'is not mentally ill, he's simply an evil loon like his successor'. It was her comments about this widely disliked figure, who single-handedly lost the TGP many seats, that caused the most outrage from a party still - even if they deny it - loyal to him. Meanwhile, her own supporters hijacked the #DecentDorvik hashtag and posted quotes from TGP politicians, mainly the leaked quote from the president calling for a 'purge' of atheists and communists.

Hertz is the most controversial figure in Dorvik, which contrasts with her good friend President Grunebaum's high approval rating a low level of controversy. Grunebaum has repeatedly denied attempts to get her to talk about the TGP's leader and his comments, saying she is 'above petty squabbles'. Grunebaum received particularly good coverage for confirming that the communist bus stop would remain in Kordusia, at the behest of Friedrich Pfeiffer. The unexpected move keeps her approval rating well above 70%.

Hertz's full comments:
I've never heard such pathetic drivel come from this double-thinking half-wit. The cycle of the TGP saying something crazy, getting a response, then playing the victim and pretending they've suffered like nobody else needs to stop, this hypocritical psycho needs to stop acting like he's the most decent person alive after accusing people of being corrupt.

You know who was corrupt? Edmund Treitschke. He is not mentally ill, he's simply an evil loon like his successor. Are we meant to feel sorry for a man who called for his opponents to be murdered? The TGP don't care about people who oppose them. They want power.

The hypocrite-in-chief careerist swine-herder Aswalt, who may I add was born into money and has never worked a day in his life, needs to go.
