General Volkhardt responds to AÆSP: "Childish nonsense!"
After a sweeping election result for the Kivonian National Salvation Party, the new power quickly plans to consolidate power
The newly elected Elector-Premier and Second Consul Augustin Volkhardt
In a sweeping election, the Kivonian National Salvation Party manages to get more than a 2/3rd of the popular vote giving them the power to change any law, constitutional or non-constitutional, legally. The KNSP has made their desire heard of restoring the glory of the former National Salvation Military Council, the dictatorial junta which founded and ruled the Kivonian Republic and the Kivonian Empire from 4595 to 4628, and later from 4644 to 4656. In an Official Statement which was given as a response to the High Queen's Official Decree, Volkhardt stated his desire for peace between the two and that he with the KNSP would respect the office and let the High Queen keep her position. However, his tone has changed since it was rumored that the AÆSP was planning on forming their own government in protest to the KNSP's. He declared that it would be a grand act of treason if they did this and would be if not possible through peaceful means be forcibly detained. He has also threatened with the passing of the Act for the Installation of a Military Junta during a Crisis, which would issue the arrest warrant for the High Queen and anyone who would oppose the motion, effectively establishing a military dictatorship. However, some suggest that if a civil war would occur, he wouldn't impose the Act but instead rely on the Kivonian warrior culture which in his mind would completely dominate the would be rebels. Here is General Volkhardt's recent statement:
He has announced that the Armed Forces will be sent in to stop the formation of their paramilitary force as by law it "Paramilitaries are illegal and the government may intervene freely to stop any possible activity", at the next security conference he will announce detailed information of the organization structure of the Armed Forces if a conflict breaks out.If the opposition tries to form their own government it will be considered an act of treason and I would make sure that the such a rebellion would be put down swiftly. This response of their to the democratic process is just childish nonsense, and that we will stop their little scramble for troops in their so-called "defence force". That is all.
