Les Temps Républicain: The Offical Gazette of the Opposition. April 22, 4698
"Gens Du Pays, C'est Notre Tour!"
New Motto for a New Opposition
Thiers- After yesterday’s Thiers City Council meeting, people with yellow hats and shirts left the Hotel de Ville and met up at the L'aile de la Colombe restaurant, down the street. Yellow attire had become the color of the movement seeking for reform for the current governance of Canrille. More and More citizens have become disenfranchised with the state of political affairs in Eroncourt, as one-party rule had been established and confirmed every election for the last 63 years. However, there has been no real movement to shake things up and present a true opposition to Parti Royaliste Nationale.
In December of last year, Theirs City Council member Joceline Agboola Marjolaine publically left the PRN. Marjolaine ran for City Council on a platform of representing the wants and needs of the suburbs. As she proposed different policies for the city, she found herself blocked by laws and regulations from the Federal L'Assemblée Royale. Initially, she attempted to work within the party to pursue her larger goals. However, after doors being shut and no progress made, Marjolaine decided to leave the Party. Many citizens fellowed her and wear the color yellow
At l'aile de la Columbe, citizens sat at different seats with their eyes and cameras glued to the front of the restaurant where Majolaine was expected to speak. After a few mintues, she came on stage and started her speech. She told the small crowd that "it was time to make real change" and that the current situation in Eroncourt was nothing more than a "Dictatorship of Catherine Lafourcade". Fists went up in the air and crowd members chanted, "Yes, we are Lourenniens". Marjolaine seemed impassioned by the crowd and exclaimed "Gens du Pays, c'est notre tour. Notre tour pour dire a Lafourcade, 'nous sommes l'opposition populaire et nous sommes lourenniens, pas canrillaise'" (People of the Land, it is our turn. Our turn to tell Lafourcade, "We are the popular opposition and we are Loreniens not Canrillaise!"
