Cachtice: Newly elected President Mojmír Jaroš has announced "a new democratic era" for Deltaria as he was elected in a landslide, despite heavy gerrymandering by the incumbent regime. For decades Deltaria had been under the rule of communists, for a long time absolute rule under a variety of communist parties. The once so powerfull nation was reduced to nothing more then a footnote, as industry dissapated and influence wained. Around 10 years ago some minor democratic reforms were introduced, but the influence of communists remained at large. Now, despite this unleveled playing field, the new Liberals and Independents, backed by media oligarch Václav Kozár, has won the recent elections within the Central Committee with a descisive tone, managing to aquire nearly 56% of seats and unseating the longstanding ruling class. Furthermore Jaroš was elected President, giving him the position to push forward radical reform. He and his party, after the win, immediately stated that "our nation is on the path to modernity once more, a path of democratic transition. My government will introduce sweeping constitutional reform to reintroduce local autonomy and rebrand our institutions. The era of decline is over."
The Liberals have already proposed sweeping reforms that would transform the country into a democratic federation once more, reintroducing special rights for the Doron Akigan and Dissuwan minorities and strengthening autonomy for other groups in the country. Democratic institutions would also see a overhaul, being strengthened and setting the course for radical change after decades of stagnation. The Liberals need the support of the DDS for the proposal to pass, with many Liberal politicians working behind the scenes to convince the DDS of the importance of these reforms.
