Sudish Minority Interests Spokesman Revives Ancestor's Idea // DNS
Above: Henri Dieschbourg IV
The leader of the nowadays mainly ceremonial Sudish Independence Forum, started over 200 years ago, has today started his own new party - claiming lineage to the Pragmatic tradition of Dorvik, inspired by an ancestor's idea of a pro-Sudish party during the government's state persecution of the Sudish and Children of the Spirit. Henri Dieschbourg IV, a member of the 3-million-strong Sudish ethnic group, says that it is time for southern interests to 'be a thing of practical policy, and not a thing of supporting fascists'. With the extremely divided and extreme nature of current Dorvish politics, lurching to the left in a way never previously heard of, the recent rise of several centrist or more moderate parties may well save Dorvik from an extreme future. As a new right-wing party comes into the mix to challenge the settled left-wing establishment, DNS takes a dive into the new political force attracting minority-interest attention.
Dieschbourg started his party with younger sister Karine Schwartz-Dieschbourg, who is the new party's internal affairs spokesperson. Karine is married into the powerful Henrik-Schwartz family which has dominated the Children of the Spirit new-wave religious movement since it began 250 years ago, which provides an interesting opportunity for the wide array of post-Sudish-revolution interest groups to band together around a new political front. Dieschbourg and his sister are both committed right-wingers, with strong - but undisclosed - faithful convictions. This may be an antidote to both the far-right, the only option for conservatives in Dorvik as of recent, and the far-left, who have lacked any more moderate challengers to reclaim the position of leadership in Dorvik. Dieschbourg told DNS reporters that he swears 'to uphold what our nation was founded on: security and safety'.
Despite the veneer of a new movement, the Union for a Meritocratic Republic - as the new party is called - is traceable to the long and controversial history of the chameleonic Pragmatists, who have veered between centre-left and far-right over many iterations. From Katarina's Lehmann's centrist movement to the later PKP of Sally Gretchen who started the Dorvish nuclear programme, and from the southern-interest group that started the Southern Parliament to the far-right religious fanatics of the Bright Alliance. All groups have had their successes and their failures, and have shaped Dorvik for the better or worse, but their controversial history of pandering to the religious vote and clashing with the aristocracy and the left alike has left them oftentimes isolated. While Dieschbourg promises no such thing will happen anymore, it will take time to see how a new southern-focused right-wing party finds itself in a very different Dorvik.
