RETURN OF THE ARBEITERS SOZIALISTICH PARTEI! DESTINA RUHR RE-ENTERS THE POLITICAL STAGE!
Destina Ruhr and the Workers Socialist Party, after being exiled for 20 years and persecuted under the iron-fist rule of the All-Dorvischer Verband, have made an unexpected return to Dorvik
March 4453
The unexpected has happened today as Destina Ruhr, President of the Syndicates and Representative of the Workers Socialist Party has declared the reformation of the old socialist party and has returned to Dorvik's political stage. After being persecuted and later exiled, many of the members of the old party had to find home or refuge in other countries, but a big portion stayed back home, resisting the ultra-conservative party, the All-Dorvischer Verband. Today, after many considerations, Ruhr and her followers entered the once abandoned Congress of the Syndicates and mimicking Reinhardt Frei, founder of the Workers Anarchist Federation (a precursor to the ASP), declared the Workers Socialist Party was back once more to defend the rights of the working class and fight for social justice. Party members have already begun projects to bring back socialist and progressive ideas back into Dorvish society, and are quickly gaining back their old followers, however, the party is yet to be declared legal by the State Council.
Destina Ruhr, Second President of the Syndicates, gave a thunderous speech to over a million spectators in Haldor:Dorvish workers! Dorvish mothers and fathers! Dorvish citizens! At long last, we see a real progress towards true democracy, and I hereby declare the reformation of the Workers Socialist Party! After being exiled from our own home, we wept and suffered for Dorvish liberty and for the monster that the All-Dorvischer Verband had created. But never again will we be taken down by ruthless rulers who wish to keep us, the proletarians, docile and servile. Our overwhelming support will surely regain us our place in our Congress, now the State Council, and there we will fight for liberty and equality between all members of Dorvik! I hope that all of us, Right, Centre and Left, can reconcile but most importantly, I hope for a bright and red future for Dorvik! Break the Chains!
Of course, this return was met differently by the left and the right in Dorvik. To some, these marks an enormous step towards the establishment of a true democracy and ridding Dorvik of fascist-like laws, while to others a reminder that the left always returns, even when kicked around somewhat, to fight for justice and equality. What will this mean for Dorvik's future?
FORMATION OF THE VOLKSEINHEIT! A NEW VOLKSFRONT?
Destina Ruhr and Karl Liebknecht have announced today that new coalition for all leftist parties in Dorvik has been formed!

Surprising news came today as the Arbeiter Sozialistisch Partei and the Neue Grüne Kommunistische Partei have announced the creation of the Volkseinheit (Popular Unity), a political coalition intended to solidify and unify all leftist parties in Dorvik. Both parties met in the Trade Union Congress, the historical place where libertarian socialism entered Dorvik and decided that in order to secure a leftist government in the upcoming elections, the new coalition should be formed. Although the ASP and the NGKP are the only parties in this alliance as of now, they assure that any other leftist-leaning party will be welcome if they wish to join.
Although there is not much information on the Volkseinheit yet, some of the goals of this alliance are:
-Eliminating the All-Dorvischer Verband's influence in Dorvik's society, economy, military and politics
-A complete reformation of Dorvik's constitution and political bodies
-Nationalization of many industries and services
Once more, this decision was met with cheers by some and hatred by others and it is yet to be seen if the new alliance will be able to secure a swift victory in the upcoming elections.
DORVISCHE BLAUE KALIFAT PARTEI WINS ELECTIONS! VOLKSEINHEIT OBTAINS SECOND PLACE!
Karl Joachim Biggelswerd, DBKP's presidential candidate was re-elected once again, while Destina Ruhr, the Volkseinheit's candidate, came a close second
February 4454
With the return of the Arbeiter Sozialistisch Partei to the political stage, tensions once again grew in Dorvik and, given the still illegal status of the leftist organization, early elections were called by the Dorvische Blaue Kalifat Partei, the leading political party in Dorvik, in order to restructure Dorvik's political climate. Elections results came today and it turns out Karl Joachim Biggelswerd, DBKP's presidential candidate, was re-elected with 32,130,013 or 52.37% of the votes, while Destina Ruhr, the Volkseinheit's candidate, came a close second with 29,128,614 or 47.48% of the votes. The Freie Demokratische Partei, a small liberal party that appeared after the All-Dorvischer Verband's rule decided to present Jan Glockner as presidential candidates, but only obtained 53,277 votes or 0.09% of the total. This meant that only in the first round it was decided that the DBKP would continue leading, considering the party obtained more than half of the votes. However, does this mean the left will once more act as opposition to the government?
According to Niko Wach, Vice-President of the Syndicates and candidate to the position of State Chancellor of the Dorvish Republic, negotiations between the DBKP and the ASP have begun in order to elect a combined State Council in order to secure stability between both political sides in Dorvik. Nevertheless, some criticize the Blue Party as being nothing more than a "better choice" than the Socialist Party for the Right, and that this re-election only proves the status quo and, by extension, archaic laws implemented during the All-Dorvischer Verband's regime will be maintained.
After all, a general sense of accomplishment permeates the Volkseinheit and its followers, and the Workers Socialist Party assures that the fight for change is still not over.
