"My only loyalty is to the people of Istalia"
The head of social policies of the GioEB and judge by profession has managed to be elected general secretary of the Left Bloc with the support of the most left-wing sector



After the electoral results, in which the current leftist government has lost the absolute majority in the National Assembly, Leandro Bisso's resignation to continue leading the party was immediate. On the same electoral night, as soon as the results had been made public, Mr. Bisso announced that he would not continue to lead the party. The announcement did not catch anyone off guard, as for months there had been movements within the party to put its future successors in the spotlight. Now, after the elections to elect its new secretary general, the Left Bloc has already announced a winner: Alessia Soldato, with more than 65% of the militants' votes.

Mrs. Soldato, 38, a judge by profession and a member of the GioEB during her youth, where she was the head of social policies for the formation, won four other candidates during the elections. Of the five, Mrs. Soldato was the only representative of the party's most left wing, after managing to unite a joint candidacy to avoid the division of the vote and favor candidates closer to the political center. Thanks to this, she won in four of the five regions, with the exception of Mezzodiurno, where she landed in second position:

Mezzodiurno:
-Bruto Pezzio: 43%
-Alessia Soldato: 22%
-Fico Frame: 20%
-Vittoria Cubino: 12%
-Roberto Giorna: 3%

Padagna:
-Alessia Soldato: 55%
-Roberto Giorna: 24%
-Fico Frame: 17%
-Vittoria Cubino: 3%
-Bruto Pezzio: 1%

Sarregna:
-Alessia Soldato: 28%
-Vittoria Cubino: 23%
Gross Pezzio: 21%
-Fico Frame: 15%
-Roberto Giorna: 13%

Silicia:
-Alessia Soldato: 74%
-Fico Frame: 13%
-Roberto Giorna: 11%
-Vittoria Cubino: 1%
-Bruto Pezzio: 1%

Trivendito:
-Alessia Soldato: 69%
-Roberto Giorna: 19%
-Fico Frame: 10%
-Vittoria Cubino: 2%
-Bruto Pezzio: 0%

Mrs. Soldato therefore, vastly triumphed in the federations typically considered the most prized on the left, such as Silicia or Trivendito, while she did worse in Mezzodiurno or Sarregna, those that reject the extremes more. As for the supports she had, her candidacy had received the explicit support of the Governor of Silicia, Annamaria Licari, and of the President of the Senate, Aristarco Azzara, who has managed to revalidate by two more legislatures his mandate as head of this institution, a position he has held since 4749, when the first elections to this House were held.

We speak to the new secretary general:

Interviewer: Thank you very much for accepting this interview and congratulations on your victory.

Alessia Soldato: Thank you very much, it is a pleasure and an honor.

I: Let's go first with the usual question: How did it feel to know that you had won the elections for the General Secretariat?

A.S: Obviously enormously happy. It is an honor for me to put myself in charge of such an important party with as much history as the Left Bloc, and I am going to do my best to leave a good legacy.

I: What will be your main steps and policies at the head of the party?

A.S: My only loyalty is to the people of Istalia. This means, we must resume the fight for republicanism, abandoned during the last decades, to demand true equality among all of our society. And that goes through a true republican commitment, both socially and institutionally. Having said that, I consider that this coalition government between the Social Democrats and us has been good for our nation, but we need to aspire to more, because we must prevent more privatizations from taking place and we must legislate for the benefit of the public, to create a State that benefit all citizens equally and in which all feel protected, respected, and in which they cannot suffer economic problems. We must be able to guarantee decent working conditions and wages that allow the development of our society, instead of seeing Istalia as a State-Company in which only a few individuals benefit to the detriment of society as a whole. Despite this, I want to legislate in collaboration with the other parliamentary groups. It is necessary to leave the trenches and disputes behind, and at least during my tenure, there will be no departure in tone, that I can assure you.

I: Does that mean that you are open to legislating even with OFF, a party that yours has described on many occasions as "extreme right"?

A.S: No. The limits of my party are clear to me. As I said, I would like to leave the disputes and trenches behind, but the fact that there is no departure from tone does not mean that we are going to stop fighting the extreme right. It only means that we will do so through argumentation and debate, clearly exposing the flaws in their speech and neutralizing the arguments they may use against us. We have to redignify politics, make citizens see the role we play as beneficial to all, rather than permanently in conflict with one another. The extreme right has to be fought with arguments, not just raising our voice. But if we are to do both, we will fill the streets as well.

I: I understand. Then, after the latest electoral results, in which the current government has lost its majority, the Left Bloc would be open to form a government with the ANI or the populists, in order to prevent the government from depending on OFF, like previous conservative governments?

A.S: The answer in this case is also no. Our electoral program and ideology are diametrically opposed to what both the ANI and the Populists defend, and that would prevent constituting any minimally functional government with them. What we are going to do is debate law by law, article by article, so that our positions are clear. If the ANI and the Populists want to unite their destinies with OFF again, it is their responsibility. But over and over again, while their electoral results are only saved thanks to the coalition they form, while they are constantly relegated to the last places, OFF time and again scales positions in Istalia, and I think they should do a reflection exercise on the why of this situation.

I: Speaking of electoral results, the Left Bloc has experienced a constant decline in the number of votes during the last elections. To what do you attribute this?

A.S: Being in the government almost always means wear and tear for the parties that comprise it. In any case, we have been in the top three positions in all electoral appointments for more than fifty years, and obtaining between 20 and 35% of the votes in each one of them. I would not consider it a failure at all. Another proof of citizen support is that the Left Bloc, despite having made it public over and over again that they reject the current legislation of the Senate, an institution to which we see that, thanks to the votes of the ANI, Populists and OFF, it serves mostly just to prevent regime change in Istalia, and therefore we refuse to occupy our seats there, the Left Bloc has won each and every one of the three Senate elections that have been held, always obtaining around a third of all seats available. This is yet another proof that support for our formation in Istalia is general, and not just that of any particular region.

I: Despite not occupying their seats, they do elect the President of the Senate thanks to their status as the leading political force. Aristarco Azzara already has two terms at the head of the institution and has just been announced to lead a third term. Have you considered offering the vice presidency to other political parties in favor of representative plurality, and how long do you plan for Mr. Azzara to continue leading the Senate?

A.S: First of all, Mr. Azzara will continue to lead the Senate as many times as he considers as long as we continue to win the elections. My relationship with him is excellent, and I consider him a great politician, and that he is doing a very good institutional job. In relation to the other question, I am afraid the answer again is no. Representative plurality is already present in the composition of the Senate and the Assembly. Why would we offer the vice presidency of the Senate to a member of the ANI or of the Populists? I can't find much logic for it, honestly.

I: Finally, your predecessor Mr. Bisso has been in charge of the party for more than 30 years. Do you also plan to occupy the general secretariat for such a long period of time?

A.S: I will hold this position as long as I feel that I am being useful to my party and my nation. When I stop thinking of it that way, I will not hesitate to step aside and allow others to run the Left Bloc.

Enist is ready to invest in Badara
The Istalian Oil Giant reached an agreement with the Badaran Government and now Istalian Government representatives too are starting dialogues for a bilateral treaty


BIER QASSEM - The socialist regime in Badara is now a thing of the past and the new democratic government led by the Free Radicals, who considers themself a technocratic movement, is firmly committed to restoring stability, prosperity and well-being to the country.

Guided by these principles, the new government has been working to restore the general situation in the country for a few years and of course it has focused on the country's main resource, oil.
Although legislation has been applied to protect national interests and local business, the government has proved to be in favor of international trade and has indeed promoted foreign investments in the sector and started dialogues and negotiations with various foreign entities, both public and private, and between these is also the Istaliana Enist.

Following negotiations with the Badaran government, the two sides finally reached an agreement and Chancellor Bahir ibn Ortoq announced that Enist had been granted permission to be part of the Badaran oil production expansion. Enist will be permitted to buy oil produced by licensees of the right to extract and sell the oil of Badara. Further, ENIST is permitted to sell goods and services to oil producing licensees specifically including oil extraction equipment, oil rigs, and construction of oil rigs. The Ministry of Justice has determined that the rather stringent Badaran rules concerning enhanced executive compensation and unionization do not apply to ENIST as a supplier of those goods and services.

In light of the fruitful dialogues between Enist and the Badaran government, representatives of the Istalian Government too began talks with Bier Qassem in order to establish the most cordial relations with the new government aimed to establish in the future a bilateral agreement which will further facilitate the reciprocal trade and investments between Istalia and Badara.

ISTALIA AND DOLGAVA ARE TALKING FOR A COOPERATION ON SPACE AND ASTRONAUTICS

Minister of Foreign affairs Davide Rognone announced today that the Government is currently talking with the Dolgavan government in order to establish a cooperation on the field of space and Astronautics. Dolgava is interested in expand its knowledge on the field and sharing the cost of the programs will assures major resources to carry out these programs.
Among the programs on which the two nations will cooperate there is the construction of a new space station and exploration probes for outer system's planets and a professional be with robotic rover to be sent on Mars.
Further work will be dedicated to study the further steps for the human exploration of our solar system.

Minister of Science and Technology welcomes the Dolgavan personnel
AISA and DSA will join efforts on several programs: new space station, solar system exploration, new manned mission on Luna

16 March 4769

PAOLO TARSO SPACE CENTER - The Minister of Science and Technology Pietro Filini this morning welcomed the staff of the Dolgavan Space Agency arrived in Istalia to start the scientific collaboration in the aerospace sector inaugurated between the two countries.

Minister Filini underlined, like the Dolgavan authorities, that Istalia is delighted to be able to work with the Kerisian country and that this is a further step towards consolidating the relations of friendship and collaboration between Istalia and Dolgava.
The objectives the two space agencies have set themselves will aim first of all to build a new space station in orbit, which will again ensure a stable Istalian presence in Terra's orbit by sharing the base with Dolgavan colleagues and where important scientific experiments can be conducted. It will be a larger structure than the Frontier space station, which has operated since the early 47th century for about fifty years.
We will then work on new automated probes to be sent to explore the solar system and among these it is expected to send a mission including a rover to land on the red planet.
Finally, the most ambitious goal announced is the return to Luna: Istalians and Dolgavans will return and set foot on our natural satellite.

Minister Filini, responding to the press, answered also to the questions regarding the recent withdrawal from the International Space Agency treaty:

Obviously with this decision the Government has not expressed any refusal to work internationally with other partners, and in fact the collaboration that has just started between Istalia and Dolgava is proof of this.
Instead, it is our intention to promote the creation of a new, less restrictive and more inclusive international organization. The exploitation and space exploration by private actors is now a reality and we therefore believe that a structure that substantially excludes from the works not only these, but also research bodies not directly dependent on the states, it is not more the most suitable place were to work internationally on this field.
We do not fear companies and entrepreneurs interested in developing their space business, on the contrary, we believe that today their activity can promote further scientific progress and economic development, as well as job creation and the mobilization of wider industrial chains.

BREAKING: The Left Bloc changes its strategy in the Senate
After the recent electoral results and for fear that the extreme right will take over the Presidency in the next elections, Aristarco Azzara announces a turn in abstentionism followed so far in the Senate


President of the Senate Aristarco Azzara during a parliamentary session

After unexpected and, at least, disappointing results, the new tandem led by the Left Bloc made up of its secretary general Alessia Soldato and the President of the Senate Aristarco Azzara has announced a change of strategy in the Upper House of Istalia for the second part of its legislature, from 4769 to 4773.

After a resounding victory won by Order, Faith and Family, which has surpassed 40% of the vote in the general elections, Blocist general secretary Mrs. Soldato has described what happened as the "obvious consequence of what happens when you agree with the far right ", referring to the ANI and the Populists, to whom she has reminded them that " the far right, with its easy, simplistic and populist speech, ends up engulfing everything if it is not stopped ", also mentioning the poor result achieved by the Sollecito Bloc coalition after these elections. However, these results have raised a new fear in the Left Bloc: that during the next elections, the extreme right will once again smash and win the Presidency of the Senate, in addition to providing a majority to conservative parties.

For this reason, and through its official account on social networks, the bloque group in the Senate has announced a change in strategy, promoted by its leader and current President of the Senate, who has been in office since the first time it was established the Chamber: Aristarco Azzara. In the letter published on social networks and signed by Mr. Azzara, the most important detail of this Left Bloc turn of strategy is observed: from now on, they will take possession of their seats in the Chamber.

"Left Bloc members, militants, sympathizers, and the general population interested in it,

After the results of the last elections, in which the extreme right has managed to convince more than 40% of the population that has gone to the polls to vote for their candidacy, from the federal leadership of the Left Bloc, and especially from the presidency of the group of "Blocists in the Senate", we have concluded that it is time for the party to change its strategy in the upper house.

We are aware that many of our Senate voters vote for us because they feel represented in our refusal to accept a politicized Upper House whose primary function has been to shield, under a false dichotomy, the authority of the imperial institution in the nation, to try to prevent any change in the form of organization of our State. However, the latest electoral results have led us to wonder what could happen if the extreme right, for the first time, could take control of the Senate Presidency. And our conclusions have not been encouraging. It is for this reason that we have decided to change the strategy that our party follows in the Senate, and to use all the democratic mechanisms within our reach to stop the extreme right. It is for this reason that the Left Bloc will take possession of its seats in the Senate and, from now on, it will try to legislate to guarantee the democratic equality of all our citizens regardless of the region in which they live. Since one of the main powers of the Senate is the legislation on the regions, we are going to try to pass laws that, without taking away power from the regional Assemblies, serve to protect the interests of all citizens equally, regardless of any characteristics they present.

Signed:
Aristarco Azzara "

From the letter, what is understood is that, taking advantage of the numerous laws that the extreme right is trying to pass by giving power to the regions, the Left Bloc will try to turn it in their favor, arguing that, since it is among its powers to legislate on the regional laws, will try to build a legislative coalition to shield the rights of the most vulnerable groups. Whether or not he will succeed will be seen over time.

MF-1 conducts first test flight in Jakania

Istalia-Kazulia meeting appeases tensions
Kazulia agrees in informing Majatran nations of its activities in the area while the Istalian Government promotes trade between northern and southern hemispheres and closer cooperation in Majatra


23 April 4770

ROMULA - The meeting between the Kazulian and Istalian governments have ended and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Montefalchi, who supported Prime Minister Carnavi during the meeting, said she was satisfied with the results.

Istalia had intervened in the dispute between Kazulia, Deltaria and Jakania aimed at resolving the matter through diplomatic channels, also disagreeing with Jakania's proposal of a resolution presented to the World Congress' Security Council.
Through dense activity by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Istalia has managed to calm the tone and to open a diplomatic path of dialogue with Kazulia, whose Prime Minister Dalsgaard went to Istalia to meet the Government of Romula.

After long debates, which lasted for some days, the parties finally reached an agreement according to which Kazulia will inform the Majatran nations if and when and where various exercises or operations will be conducted in the area by their armed forces, presumably alongside Kalopia, so as not to make rise too much concerns from nations in the area.

Minister Montefalchi commented as follows:

We had already noticed Kazulia's willingness to dialogue when he had assured that no aircraft carrier would follow the 5th Fleet and I believe that with this agreements we have managed to protect the security and tranquility of the Majatran countries as well as to respect the sovereignty of Kalopia to conduct excercises with its allies.
As great power in this part of the globe we couldn't stand by and watch and we felt that we had a responsabilkity to try our best to solve diplomatically and without dangerous excalations this situation maintaining peace and stability on the continent.

Now it is time for Istalia and its Majatran partners to begin to intensify their relationships, so as to demonstrate once again that Majatra can independently guarantee stability and security for its nations and peoples.

And our government is confident that we will be able to do so while maintaining cordial relations with the rest of the world.
We firmly believe that by promoting trade between north and south of the Terra we will be able to discourage hostilities and tensions, favoring instead peaceful relationships, especially commercial ones, as mentioned, which we are sure will guarantee benefits, primarily economic, to all the parties involved.

The agreement seems to have been accepted by the Istalian partners in Majatra but if from Deltaria came a quite positive and constructive response, Jakania has proved more cautious and has retained some reservations although the Government of Dokuz has also fully supported the proposals of greater cooperation on the continent.

The Senate approves the law that prevents regional governments from discrimination against its citizens
The so-called "Azzara Law" goes ahead in the Senate with the support of all groups except the far-right, amid heated debate


Representatives of various groups applaud from the tribune of the upper chamber the approval of the new law

It is official: regional governments may not discriminate against their citizens based on their sexual condition, sex, social class, or place of origin. A matter that a priori would seem obvious to the normal citizen, was at risk after the approval of several laws in the National Assembly that gave more autonomy to the regions to legislate in their territories, and the subsequent astronomical rise of the extreme right after the last elections. After that, the President of the Senate, Aristarco Azzara, announced that his party would take possession of its seats in the Senate, making use of the power that the Upper House has to control the laws that the regions approve, for preventing discrimination from being applied of any kind by regional governments.

Now, the so-called "Azzara Law" is a reality. The law, which has passed in the Senate with the votes of the Left Bloc (30), Socialists and Democrats (20), the National Alliance for the Empire (17) and the Populists (7), has only met opposition in the far-right of Order, Faith and Family (26), which has argued that this law "is an attack on the democratic rights of a large part of the population", as well as "discrimination of the rights and political views of others". Furthermore, Prime Minister Giovanni Carnavi has dropped that "I will never, and I repeat, never, accept this opinion."

The Prime Minister's words have met with stiff opposition from the President of the Senate, Aristarco Azzara, who in recent years has risen up as a political figure of great institutional relevance, who has responded to the Prime Minister that "while my mandate lasts, rest assured that I will do everything possible and that it is in my power to protect all citizens from political parties and words like yours, which seek to criminalize and discriminate against the citizens of our nation based on sex, place of origin or sexual orientation." He has also argued that freedom of expression does not imply freedom to discriminate, and has also warned the Prime Minister that, if he does not comply with the mandate of the Senate and carry out any discriminatory policy that contravenes what is approved in the Senate, he will personally lead him to courts.

In a hard dialectical clash in the Senate, where the rest of the political parties have only made a brief plea in favor of this new law, which Mr. Azzara has personally thanked, Order, Faith and Family has announced that its senators will immediately resign their seats and will boycott the institution considering that it "has become out of touch with the feelings of the electorate". For his part, Mr. Azzara has reminded them that the government has to comply with the opinions of the legislative branch and has said goodbye to them, asking them to "close the door after leaving" and that "they will not be missed."

But, what is contained in the new law approved to have provoked such a confrontation between both groups?

The law, as can be read here, says that:

Recognizing the sovereignty of the regions in certain legislative aspects of our nation,

Using the authority granted by law to the Senate to legislate on matters that fall within the powers of the regions (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=621898),

Relying on the articles that make up the Istalian Constitution,

Mr. Aristarco Azzara, President of the Senate, proposes the following to be put to the vote:

1. In accordance with the Ordinary Law "Assuring the safeness of our society" (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=597877), which establishes that "The tribunes will be able to persue a shortened procedure to handle the cases of: personal assualt due to discriminanting motivations related to ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, political opinion, nationality, cultures, traditions, damage and / or destruction of properties due to the discriminanting motivations already mentioned. ", no citizen of this nation may, therefore, be subjected to any type of discrimination by the foregoing, despite the fact that it is the regions that may have the power to decide the penalties imposed on criminals.

2. In relation to the article "The right to perform an abortion for a pregnant woman" (http://classic.particracy.net/viewvaria ... e=ABORTION), whose legislative power currently rests with the regions, no region can criminalize this act. The regions, if they consider it so, may legislate it as illegal, but under no circumstances may it be a reason for criminal penalties.

3. In relation to the rights of the LGBT community and of women, as well as the migrants and other minorities present in our country, the transfer of legislative power from the national government to regional governments will not imply an explicit or implicit permission to apply discriminatory policies against these groups. If so, it will be a criminal offense to apply discriminatory policies against any of these groups that imply a series of rights less than those that any other citizen of Istalia can present.

ASSEMBLY OF TRIVENDITO MAKES CONTROVERSIAL CHOICES

Triesta, February 4771 .

Today, Trivendito's Regional President, Valino Mondrati (OFF), said to a large rally of Family supporters and pro-life activists that his Government and all regions are challanged by the illegal ruling of the Senate. By law we are allowed to do what our electorate think is right. "Just that basic right has been taken away by the Senate ( http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=626374 ) and specially by "Dictator" Aristarco Azzara (President of the Senate, BdS). Ignoring the fact that more than 40% of the population voted (while holdng just 26 seats in the senate only) in favour of regional freedom makes that body arrogant and a threat for regional rights and democracy!! The Senate lost it's feeling with reality and stick to their own outdated principles. This being said, my Governement and I myself find this resolution of the Senate a brutal provocation towards the electorate, violating the unity of Istalia and restricting our lawfull regional powers. This provocation cannot be left unanswered.", Modrati stated. At that particular moment the crowd started shouting: "Abolish the Senate", "Prosecute Azzara" , "We Want Total Freedom" and "Azzara Liair". Some were more extreme. Your reporter heard people saying that Azzara's life is worth nothing as he appears to be the devil himself. The President distanced himself during a pressconference later on the evening, from these kind of comments but said that he understood the sentiment very well. "The tension, anger and bitterness caused by the Senate's decision should not be underestimated by the national legislative bodies", a OFF partyofficial told the presscore. As a result of this situation all the 26 OFF senators left the Senate as a sign of protest. Later on the OFF declared that their party will boycott the Senate till further notice.

President Mondrati also announced that a reform bill will pass the Regional Assembly (the OFF has an absolute majority http://classic.particracy.net/viewregio ... gionid=204 ) shortly where regional abortion- and druglaws will be reformed to honour the regional electorate. The bill will be implemented in May 4771 ( http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=626551 ). "Our voters don't want to have liberal views forced upon us. Here, in Trivendito we think otherwisse than those fossils in the Senate. And.....there is more to come. The Senate can be proud of what they achieved by their dictate", Mondrati said in a cynical way.

There are rhumours that Regional President Constanzo (OFF) of Padagna is considering some reforms which might be opposing the Senate's ruling. The Senate was not able to comment yet and a spokesman of the National Government stated that till now there was no regional law changed. A close source to the cabinet told your reporter that the Prime Minister visited the Imperial Palace for an audience with the Head of State, Sua Eccellentissima Maestà Imperiale, Alessandro III Ghazi. No further information is available at this moment.

Emperor addresses the nation calling for unity and harmony in order to appease the growing political tensions
After the meeting with the Prime Minister His Majesty invites the people and the political forces to promote dialogue, respect for the Institutions as well as for the democratic process and popular will


6 March 4771

ROMULA - His Majesty Emperor Alessandro III Ghazi yesterday in the evening addressed the Nation through a televised speech on public broadcasting service calling on his people to do their duty "for stability, unity and concordia", in reference to ongoing political tensions which arose into the country in recent months.

After the harsh popular protests against the recent law adopted by the Senate, anti-government protests also erupted to defend the role of the Upper House and to oppose indeed the large mobilization in favor of OFF.
There have also been clashes between demonstrators and with the police and as social and political tension grows, Prime Minister Carnavi asked for a meeting with the Emperor, saying he was worried about the situation, dissociating himself from the harshest slogans against the forces of opposition but at the same time stressing the great popular support that his party gained in the last elections, but mainly requested that the Head of State address the nation to appease the tensions and to invite the people to unity and harmony.

Appearing on television the Emperor said that:

All Istalians should behave and perform our duties accordingly, our duty for the sake of the public, for stability and well being for our nation.

I'm aware that it is not always easy to act according to our own ideals as well as to the Laws and the Foundamental Rights, however, we are living into a Democracy and for this reason we must always remember that the nation belongs to everyone, not to this or that specific political force. Those who confront each other will all be the losers. And the loser of the losers will be the nation.

It is your right my fellow istalian citizens to express their ideals and make heard your voices but this cannot be pursued through violence but most important you always have to remember that we are a nation, a people, which must always remain united and act in harmony.

As Head of State I cannot fail to invite all the politican forces first of all to try to appease the tensions between their supporters and than to try to cooperate through dialogue for the well being of the nation.

I cannot fail also to ask to everyone to respect an institution of the Empire like the Senate, which role and which members and highest officials shall be respected by everyone without exceptions.
It is not at all appropriate to deny or to recognize the role of the Senate according to the convenience of the moment as well as, as a democracy, we shall do the best to respect the popular Will expressed through elections in accordance to the Laws of the Nation.

Through concordia and harmony the Nation will be able to overcome these tensions and if Istalian citizens still hold this harmony in their hearts, there is hope that in whatever the situation, Istalia will surely get through it safely and with stability.

Thank you

Accordingly with his role, the Emperor didn't express position on the issue around which tensions and protests arose, however, a part inviting the people to unity and harmony, the Head of State seems to have lectured most of the political landscape about their attitude toward the Senate, for several terms deserted by some part of the opposition, which now instead profited of its role, and which is risking now to be as well unrecognized by part of the current majority, a behavior from both the sides criticized by the Emperor.
However, making mention to te respect of the popular Will, the Emperor could not fail to recognize the large popular support gained by the party of the Prime Minister although inviting him and its supporters to always remember the role of the Laws of the Nation.

Several political analysts and expertises recently expressed some concerns about the moves by the President of the Senate Azzara, some about the timing of this action which clearly ignited the large popular support gained by OFF, some others expressed concerns instead about the opportunism by Left Bloc which "remembered" only recently about the existence of the Senate, some about the fact that laws against discrimination were already in place and that rather than a Senate law it could be better to call for the intervention of the Constitutional Court.
Others, instead, criticized both the Prime Minister Carnavi and the local governments led by OFF, underlining that democracy doesn't mean the power, or tyranny, of the majority but it means indeed the protection of the minorities, protection granted by several laws based on tollerance and respect of human rights.
About the decision by the local governments led by OFF, some learned jurists and constitutionalists, finally, said that they are risking that the Constitutional Court could intervene to contrast some of their decisions.
