2nd Assembly of the Libertarian Party of Caille
August, 4487
In the Caillan city of Norterra, a second congress of the Libertarian Party of Caille, where the leadership of the party presented the program for the next two years, was held.

Several thousand supporters and members of the Libertarian Party of Caille arrived today to the Caillan City of Norterra to attend the Second Party Assembly. Most of the prominent party members had submitted the party's plans for the next two years. Perhaps the most important thing was the speech of Quique Iglesias, the party's deputy and at the same time the chairman of the separatist wing of the party:
Our most important, I note the temporary goal, of course, is the separation of Caille from Egelion. If we, and I hope so, succeed, we will still have a lot of work to do. Our primary goal will then be to ensure that in the young state, the left-wing parties will not get unlimited power, and they will not destroy the freedom immediately. We will make every effort to avoid this happening.
Quique Iglesias

Several thousand supporters were waiting for the party's assembly results.
The next party asembly should take place in July 4489, and many party leaders expressed the wish that this meeting could take place in independent Caille.

The conservative alliance announces its stand on caillean independance
February, 4488

About a year ago, the conservative alliance was founded and remained a relatively small party until a handful of weeks ago their leaders made a rare public appearance in the city of Cabo Rozevia, Yadraz, to express their official position regarding what they saw as the "Caillean issue".

With no more than a hundred supporters, the chairman and founder of the conservative alliance, Rodrigo Montealva, showed up on a busy street in the city of Cabo Rozevia, where the parties headquarters are located. Here it was where the chairman himself gave a speech concerning both the soon to come election of 4488 and his party's position on what appears to be the most heated political debate in the nation.

... The truth is that, in Caille, the mayority of the citizens are cailleans. However, I believe that in that exact same province, there are much more Egelians, because what people don't get is that you don't need to be ethnically Egelian to belong to this great country, you gotta believe in the ideas that this nation represents; liberty, solidarity, respect and most importantly tolerance. That is why this party will do everything it can to prevent a potential caillean independance, for I am sure that there is a great number of Egelians in Caille who'd rather remain believing in Egelion's values than to go off on their own.


With that said, the politician affirmed that his intention was not to divide but rather unite the Caillean people and make them change their minds on independance through "The power of dialogue and mutual understatement"

RE-ELECTION OF THE PARTIDO LIBERAL DEMOCRÁTICO BRINGS STRONGER OPPOSITION TO THE RULE OF THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT!
After the re-election of the PLD, more parties have joined in the general strike or joined against it to fight for their interests, while the strike itself continues to grow
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Members of Egelian parties were expectant to see the results and consequences of the re-election of the Partido Liberal Democrático, and it seems it has only made the problem worse. Officially supported by the Alianza Conservadora (AC), the liberal and conservative parties have joined together to maintain the status quo, while the PCPE and Partido Socialdemócrata de Egelion (PSE) have managed to obtain many seats in the Asamblea Nacional de Egelion, and stating their official support for the General Strike. Although the strike remains peaceful, militants of the CNT-FAE and the PCPE are beginning to discuss the futility of these actions and the potential beginning of violent direct action against the government, but no actual violence has been brought by the parties yet.

Damián Montreal, Ex-General Secretary and founder of the FAE said that
The people of Egelion must realize that the system kept in place by the PLD is the only reason they have won so many times in a row and, to avoid a full-blown civil war, parties from both sides must negotiate.


However, not all parties are too eager to join the conflict, as the Liga Verde Nacional (LVN), the Partido Libertario de Caille (PLC) and the Unión Demócrata Republicana Confederal (UDRC) still remain neutral and may tip the balance for either side.

Partido Libertario de Caille joined the general strike
February, 4489
Emergency election of the party chairman won Quique Iglesias, shortly afterward he declared that the party is joining the general strike

Following the recent events, PLCs leadership convened an emergency assembly during which a new chairman was elected. Election with the absolute predominance of 87% was won by former vice-chairman Quique Iglesias, chairman of the party's separatist wing. Shortly after the election, Quique Iglesias left for a press conference where he spoke about the party's program for the following period.
We've been waiting too long for things to evolve without us. It is no longer possible to remain aside. We must finally start doing something, so our party officially joins the general strike. At the same time, however, I ask all citizens to keep peace and do not resort to violent acts. It is vitally important that we maintain peace and do not dispel our country into another civil war.
Quique Iglesias

The Conservative alliance calls for the formation of a centre-right coalition
September 4491
Right after the AC's internal elections were over, the winner and former chairman Rodrigo Montealva called for all the parties, from the centre to the right, to endorse the PLD's presidential candidate in order to prevent a leftist victory in the upcoming elections.

Last month, the party Alianza conservadora (AC) celebrated its first internal elections where the current chairman, Rodrigo Montealva, won with 54% of the ballots casted against his opponent's (former colonel Eugenio Gutierrez) 46% of the vote. Mr. Montealva's "too close for comfort" margen of victory was mainly because of one of his most controversial proposals during the campaign, which was to keep supporting the PLD's presidencies for as long as possible. This lead to backlash from a significant faction of the party lead by Col. Gutierrez who wished to present himself as a conservative candidate to the presidency of Egelion, since there hasn't been a single conservative president in over 6 decades, with the last one entering office in 4430, and Montealva's critics don't believe that supporting the Liberals would bring them the conservative government that they wish for.

Image
Above, Mr. Montealva (Right) and Col. Gutierrez (Left) argue during one of the chairman debates.

During a speech adressing the party's militants after his victory in the internal elections, Montealva said:

It is clear to me that this great party that I represent is pretty devided on the issue of weather we should support the current government or run the risk of having a leftist president. So I propose the following to you, we will support the PLD's presidential candidate in the upcoming elections, and if they win with our support I promise that for the 4496 elections, we'll have our own primary and will finally present a real conservative candidate who will share 100% of our values and beliefs!


With that said, Rodrigo montealva also promised to write letters to the leaderships of The Partido libertario de Caille and the UDRC to talk about a possible coalition when it comes to supporting the PLD's next bid to the presidency, in order to confirm weather they'll "stand alone or unite against left-wing radicalism", as Mr. Montealva said.

THE CNT-FAE REACHES OUT TO THE LEFT!
Zoe Cotilla, General Secretary of the FAE has reached out to all major leftist and centre-left parties in Egelion in order to create a counter-coalition against the Conservative-Liberal Alliance of the PLD and AC
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Zoe Cotilla, General Secretary of the FAE and leader of the Anarchist Party, the CNT-FAE, has gathered with members of Egelion's leftist and centre-left parties in order to discuss and potentially create a united leftist front to counter the Alianza Conservadora's coalition with the Partido Liberal Democrático. As Cotilla explained "only with a united Egelian left will the PLD finally be removed from power and a progressive and leftist government become a possibility"

Electioneering by the CNT-FAE has already begun but it seems that the only way the Egelian left will ever become part of the government is through unity and cooperation.

The Socialist Forces of the PCPE arrange their first insurrectionary strike
16th of March 4493 - The PCPE uses insurrectionalism as a way to achieve their objectives

The Socialist Forces, a group of voluntary supporters of the PCPE, have got clear their objectives and the way to achieve them. Martí Salvat, one year after the results and its decrease in the Parliament and in Caille, gets ready for a second round in this conflict. The objectives of the PCPE and the Socialist Forces are the following:

· Establishing a dictatorship, approved by, not only the workers, but also the people of Egelion. This dictatorship is meant to be minimal and established only to protect the workers' rights and accomplish certain tasks and objectives.
· Through the dictatorship, organising a communist society, while getting rid of institutions that support capitalism and the entire capitalist system formed in Egelion.
· Proceed, then, to the separation of Caille from Egelion. The PCPE would control Caille, though, alongside the parties that helped this be possible. This would be done by granting territories. As the other parties supporting Caillean separatism are anarchists/libertarians, the PCPE will grant them territory, separately, to organise themselves and achieve their objectives too.
· Get international support, including keeping the alliances with the territories granted to the anarchists/libertarians. Caille will, then, support and respect any communist nation or anarchist territory.

Image

The PCPE is already planning everything for the future, meaning they've got a strategy they think it's going to work. But they insist in Separatist parties to participate and "destroying the whole nation and people's faces if needed", meaning getting into violent and insurrectional movements. However, Salvat doesn't think they will get enough support from the Separatists to make this work correctly. "I think now's the time to try another alternative, even if it's cruel. Capitalism and the current govenrment is cruel and doesn't show any interest in helping the people, and we're here to prove it." The Socialist Forces started some protests, destroying shops, cars and throwing different objects and materials to the Hall. The police intervened in order to stop them, unsuccessfuly. Some cops were injured, as well as protesters, but civilians were totally safe from danger.

RADICALIZATION OF THE GENERAL STRIKE!
Militants of the CNT-FAE have begun taking the streets in response to the PCPE's insurrection
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Image
Above: Anarchist militant attacking riot breakers

With the election of the old General Secretary, Damián Montreal and the beginning of a violent insurrection by the PCPE's Socialist Forces, the CNT-FAE has finally chosen its part in the now-radicalized General Strike, and the 480.000 militants of the federation have taken the streets of many of Egelion's primary cities. Members of both parties have joined forces against the current government led by the Liberal-Conservative coalition of the PLD and the AC and violence is already spreading on Egelion's streets. It seems that a new second civil war is imminent.

Damián Montreal, General Secretary of the FAE, talked to us:
Although it is a shame it had come to this, years of protests and no response from the government has led us to a violent insurrection. Although our militants are larger than the PCPE's, we will fight together to free Egelion from the disinterested government which has done nothing to resolve the problems that have risen, even since the creation of the FAE itself. I am, however, worried about the authoritarianism of the PCPE and hope that our parties can discuss and organize together instead of diving ourselves into libertarians and authoritarians.

However, this sudden riot hasn't come without any casualties. As of now, there have been over 200 injured and 2 protesters dead, with over 1000 detained. The numbers seem to be rising by the hour, and it's unsure how far the government and the insurrectionary parties will go to accomplish their goals.

Internal conflicts in the PCPE
21st of January 4496 - The PCPE suffers from internal conflicts because of Andreu Barrat

Andreu Barrat wrote a month ago his second work, "The Only One", building up his own philosophy: Egoism. Andreu Barrat joined the PCPE some years ago and had a great stance here, until he decided to meet the anarchists of the CNT-FAE, who made him adopt an individualist ideal. While some of the PCPE disagreed with him with his idea of the "Force and Power", he was still considered an important member of the party. With the Egoist philosophy already constructed, Barrat decided to leave the party. Some of the followers of Barrat are still in the party, generating a conflict between communists and Egoists which seems to be dangerous for the stability of the party. Martí Salvat, close to Andreu Barrat, said "It's his decision whether stay or leave, as well as it's decision of the Egoists whether staying or not, but we're not going to generate a conflict when the solution is pretty simple."

Some Egoists followed Andreu Barrat, while other are staying [for unknown reasons]. However, nothing is known about those who left the party, including Barrat, who seems to have disappeared from politics after leaving the party. Some Egoists say that they're going to support and join the CNT-FAE, while others seem more interested in organising the Union of Egoists. Several reunions are happening in the PCPE to discuss what they're going to do to fix this conflict. Discussions between communists and Egoists are happening all the time in the party.

Separatist Forces capture Norterra!
Militants of the CNT-FAE have effectively wrestled control of Norterra and the region has fallen to the Separatist Forces
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Image
Above: Anarchist militants marching on the streets of Norterra

Today the unthinkable has happened, as Norterra is captured by rioting separatist forces. Caillean Separatism, which had grown once again under the leadership of the CNT-FAE and the PCPE has reached its peak today, as violent riots have taken the streets of the Caillean capital. What began as a protest against the static PLD soon turned into a riot as police forces began shooting airsoft bullets at the participants and the situation turned violent very quickly.
Image

Although the riot was, at first, contained by police forces, the killing of two separatist militants brought the support from the Norterran populace against the State and soon all main streets in the city were completely controlled by rioters. No news has come from the PLD, but it is assumed that armed forces will be sent to take back control of the city.
Image

With the sudden rise of the Partido del Socialismo Democrático and Partido Laborista Socialista, a separatist and socialist victory seems extremely plausible, but nothing can be assured yet.
