VICTORIOUS ENDING OF THE GENERAL STRIKE! THE END OF THE LIBERAL-CONSERVATIVE ALLIANCE!
Joaquín Laguna, leader of the PLD and President of Egelion, has announced the end of the alliance and the parties within them due to extreme popular malcontent with the lack of movement from the PLD

Today, the unthinkable has happened once again; the Separatist Forces, led by the CNT-FAE and the PCPE, can finally declare victory against the Liberal-Conservative alliance that led the country for more than 7 terms. After the conquest of Norterra, the Caillean capital and headquarters of the Separatist movement, the government support decreased even further, reaching an all-time low of 23% and, while socialist forces only got stronger through the formation of more left-leaning parties, the PLD realized their time was at an end.

Joaquín Laguna, leader of the PLD, gave Egelion his retirement speech and declared the dissolution of the Partido Liberal Democrático, together with the Liberal-Conservative alliance. Soon after, the Alianza Conservadora decided to leave politics as well.

Melissa Semprún, General Secretary of the FAE which, coincidently, started the General Strike back in 4486 and now can safely declare an end to it, congratulated all participants from both the CNT-FAE and the PCPE and stated that "the victory achieved today was only possible through solidarity and cooperation" and it is safe to say relations between the two parties are at an all-time high. Conversations surrounding the future of Egelion are already underway and the possible implementation of the Vía Egeliana al Sindicalismo (Egelian Way to Syndicalism), which would transform the country in its entirety, while the PCPE wants to focus on the future of Caille and it's citizens.

Not all is good for Egelion, however, as plenty of progress and productivity has been lost due to the over-extended strike and backlash from right-wing sectors in the society are sure to be expected. However, as Damián Montreal, Ex-General Secretary of the FAE and founder of the party told us, "there is nothing that can stand in the way of the workers and their liberty".

It is safe to say that today a major socialist victory has been achieved, and the future seems bright for the people of Egelion.

The PCPE's Socialist Forces attacked right-wing locals
22nd of March 4502 - The SFE is starting to use terrorist action against right-wing people

The main reason why Martí Salvat created the Socialist Forces [of Egelion] (SFE) was to help revolutionaries and insurrectionaries to achieve a free and socialist Caille and liberate Egelion from capitalism. Even though they never made big changes, it must be said that they got a great number of people joining the socialist organisation. The dissolution of the AC and PLD was successful thanks to the cooperation between leftist parties (PCPE, CNT-FAE, LVN, PLS and PSD) searching for a strategy to win the PLD, UDRC and AC. Without even arriving to use the strategy, they won, leaving, both the PLD and AC, UDRC alone. All the parties were happy about this and improved their relations.

However, elections came and the UDRC got exactly the same power the PLD had. The recent upcoming of a new right-wing conservative party, Partido Ciudadano Conservador (PCC) has made the PCPE, and especially Martí Salvat, really angry. The proposal of a cabinet formed by the UDRC, LVN and PLS, accepted by all these parties, made Salvat even more angry. He stated soon after, "They're just traitors. Before elections they were conspiring against the PLD and its coalition, and now they seem to be getting closer with the UDRC, who has made nothing good for our nation yet - more than occupying useless seats in the Parliament and stopping the progress of the nation. It's their decision, but we consider them traitors and hypocrites, and we really hate traitors and hypocrites".

Different minoritary right-wing locals and organisations all along Egelion have received attacks from individuals from the SFE since January and they don't seem to stop. Some of these individuals have been under arrest and described as terrorists and dangerous. The PCPE seems to be preparing an attack against the government and has got enough forces to do serious damage. "Remember all the times I said intellectualism and peace was useless? Now you can see I was right. If words and democracy isn't going to fix anything here, and the parties don't want to cooperate, the only alternative left is to damage the state" - Martí Salvat.

Lucha por Tradición Founded
Far-Right Movement Poised to Regain Momentum
March 4502
Image
DEMAR SOLAD, EGELION - This month, retired Egelian Air Force general Pascual Berrocal filed formal paperwork for his political party that he had been preparing since the 4501 elections. Berrocal, who retired from the military in 4500, is known as a brave warrior and an astute political mind. It is such that he ascended through the ranks of the Egelian Air Force to become a general, and at the time of his retirement he was among the most highly decorated peacetime airmen in Egelian history.

Pascual Berrocal's party, named Lucha por Tradición, or "Fight for Tradition," was officially recognized and is preparing to contest the 4505 elections. It has already taken a strong stance on what Berrocal has termed Los Cuatro Valores, or "the Four Values": Aurorianism, nationalism, traditionalism, and militarism.

LpT's press spokeswoman, Frida Guillén, has been also been busy on the media circuit, explaining the need for the party and coming out swinging against the revival of separatist talks in Caille.

Let me be perfectly clear: the far left that has run this nation for too long is driving mainstream Egelians mad. We are witnessing a left-wing government that wants to weaken our military abilities, wants to eviscerate our economic potential. When the people's only choices are extremists, communists, and anarchists, they will rise up and speak with a strong voice for stability, for real leadership. Generalissimo Berrocal is a proven leader, a national hero, and will help restore Egelion's greatness.

As for the Caillean factions, we have nothing but contempt for their degradation of the Egelian state. We are one nation, one people. We will not and cannot accept a poll that only takes Caillean input on the future of our Republic. The Generalissimo has made it quite clear that Lucha por Tradición is against any unilateral action, and urges people from across Egelion to respect our national institutions.

Far-Right Reacts to Violence
Lucha por Tradición Generalissimo Launches Paramilitary
May 4502
Image
DEMAR SOLAD, EGELION - Today, Generalissimo Pascual Berrocal announced the formation of an extralegal, far-right paramilitary ostensibly aimed at protecting members of Lucha por Tradición. The group, known as Luchadores Callejeros, is largely made up of former enlisted soldiers in the Egelian Armed Forces, but also includes other supporters of the far-right.

"I have been clear about my motives since day one," Berrocal said in a press statement, "that we are to be a peaceful, democratic group that seeks to change the discourse through the process. But the far left has proven that they don't want to embrace the values of playing by the rules. I cannot risk the well-being and safety of my fellow party members irresponsibly, given the latest attacks launched by the Socialist Forces of Egelion." The SFE is part of the Progressive Communist Party of Egelion PCPE).

The Luchadores Callejeros, or "Street Fighters," is technically illegal but its members are not publicly listed or registered, and therefore it is designed to get around governmental barriers.

LpT spokesperson, Frida Guillén, also weighed in on the formation of the Luchadores Callejeros, saying: "The new group is not legally affiliated with Lucha por Tradición, but it aims at protecting members of our movement against violent reprisals from the far-left. We call on the government to call out the violent extremists of the far left, who have engaged in acts of violence simply for our political beliefs. If the government is serious about protecting all voices, then it would call out the SFE and condemn the PCPE's leader who has made hate part of his charade. Unfortunately, we do not anticipate any further actions by this left-wing ministry - so to people across Egelion, please vote Lucha por Tradición!"

The president Calls for End to Violence in Egelion

Postby Metacomet » Wed Dec 19, 2018 3:41 pm

Image

The Presidente Constitucional de la República de Egelion, Gabriel Moliné i Grigorescu, has condemned the latest eruption of violence in Caille. Moliné expressed deep concern about the flareup of violence in Caille, saying people have the right to freedom of expression and should be able to demonstrate peacefully and safely. The president is calling for a prompt investigation into the violent events that have killed at least five people and injured many more.
One anonymous source from the office of the president said that “The President says he is deeply worried about the reports of excessive use of force by security forces, and the the violent acts of the illegal paramilitary forces of the far-right and the far-left. He is also concerned at reports of the use of inflammatory speech by political leaders.”

The government argues that those who support violent acts are responsible for the increasing instability and it is the government's responsibility to ensure that the use of force is very much limited to the security forces to protect all innocent citizens.Amid the backdrop of rising tensions, the president accused backers of the Partido Comunista Progresivo de Egelion and Lucha por Tradición of increasing tensions to increase their political supports.

Image

The Unión Demócrata Republicana Confederal demanded a speedy start to talks between the government and separatists without preconditions. The Primer Ministro Constitucional de la República de Egelion, João Batlle i Rodríguez, said that “those talks need to be a broad-based reconciliatory dialogue, without preconditions while we urge all sides to foreswear violence, to restore peace, and to resolve their grievances through political dialogue.” Batlle expressed confidence in his address that “there is an honorable way out in everyone's interest.” Moreover, he promised to make good on his commitment to accelerate the decentralization process and implement recommendations of a commission on bilingualism and multiculturalism.

January 4503
POLARIZATION OF THE EGELIAN SOCIETY CONTINUES!
Due to the incendiary speeches from both the Left and Right and the still-anarchist Norterra, violent protests and fighting between militants increases while police forces are accused of police brutality
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Above: Anti-government rally in the streets of Demar Solad, Egelion

Today on January 4503, it seems that the surprising defeat of the Liberal-Conservative Alliance by the Separatist Forces has failed to bring forth the leftist project, the Vía Egeliana al Sindicalismo (Egelian Way to Syndicalism), to Egelion. Instead, out of the ashes of the conflict has risen the old Unión Demócrata Republicana Confederal, a centre party who wishes to unite the country once again after the fiery fighting between left and right. However, it seems that this wish has come short, as both left, led by the Anarcho-Communist Coalition of the FAE and the PCPE, and right, led by the newly formed Lucha Por Tradición, have confronted each other in many skirmishes and counter-protests throughout Egelion. Moreover, the inability of State forces to take back Norterra, the Caillean capital, from anarchist militants has proven to be a massive problem for the leading UDRC.

Image

To add in more problems, the now-anarchist Caillean capital has decided to remain under control of the left, and even a new constitution is being written at this moment by revolutionaries. Already Separatist Forces have taken refuge in the city to continue planning attacks on both the government and the right-wing paramilitary forces. Damián Montreal, General Secretary of the FAE and founder of the CNT-FAE has directed his words towards Gabriel Moliné, Constitutional President of the Republic:

All of Egelion has heard the words of the leading parties wishing to end the conflicts and bring back peace to Egelion. But what they call peace is conformism to the horrible rule the PLD brought with it, and the Centre is only using this unitary speech to maintain itself in power while putting no effort in a real political project compared to the left and right. The only way our alliance will stop defending the rights of liberty and equality of Egelians against the State and the Right, and, more so, make us leave Norterra, is only by accepting the Anarcho-Communist parties in the government or over our dead bodies.


It seems that despite the peacekeeping words of the URDC, politicization and fighting will only continue in Egelion as long as the ruling parties refuse to cooperate with one another for peace.

Lucha por Tradición Swept into Power
Berrocal President, But Can A Government Be Formed?
October 4503
Image
DEMAR SOLAD, EGELION - After the decision by the National Assembly to hold snap-elections, the people of Egelion went to the polls to cast their ballots for not only a new President, but also for a fresh set of legislators. The results could not be more clear: a decisive mandate for Lucha por Tradición in both cases. This paper will analyze election results and shed some light on the voters who pulled the lever for President Pascual Berrocal's fledgling movement.

In the first round of Presidential voting, Lucha por Tradición's Berrocal won over 36%, followed next by the Progressive Communist Party of Egelion's Martí Salvat - himself a prominent figure in national media - at 24%. In a distant third, incumbent Gabriel Moliné i Grigorescu of the Confederal Democratic Republican Union was too short with only 13%. In fourth, Cristóbal Nuñez of Party of the Infinite Rebellion earned 9.4%; in fifth was the Anarchist Federation of Egelion's Álvaro Andino on 8.9%. Finally came Lucía Del Mar Serra of the National Green League with about 8%.

During the second round, Partido de la Rebelión Infinita endorsed Berrocal, which was seen by many pundits as enough to put him over the PCPE's Salvat. Ultimately, General Pascual Berrocal defeated Martí Salvat by a 7.26% spread, not a small accomplishment for the furthest-right wing party. Two parties, the Socialist Labor Party and Party of Democratic Socialism, did not directly contest the Presidential election, instead opting to endorse the PCPE's Salvat from the beginning.

Hindsight is 20/20, and this decision may have haunted both party's electoral chances, as they both remained towards the bottom of the pack. Of course, it is hard to know if PSD or PLS would have performed better in the legislative polls if they had run their own Presidential candidates; instead, they were inevitably seen as minor parties, winning only 16 seats (PSD) and 10 seats (PLS) in the National Assembly.

LpT came in first place in four of the five provinces - including Caille (which we will return to in a moment) - only losing Edergira to the PCPE. That netted the far-right party a total of 75 seats, with PRI earning 18 seats, expected to complement this contingent. PCPE won 31 seats, followed by the UDRC - formerly on 65 seats - at only 21. UDRC was by far the largest loser of the snap-elections, but other leftist parties such as the FAE and LVN also lost over 20 seats each.

Now, the question is whether or not LpT can form a parliamentary majority to create a government. Along with PRI, the right has 93 seats of the 101 needed to command a majority. PCPE, as the main opposition party, is unlikely to join with Berrocal's party, nor would the UDRC be likely to join the right parties. The best shot at governing for the LpT would likely be to make a deal with a smaller party, such as the PSD or PLS, with which they are not as disagreeable. We will follow this story and keep the people updated on the government formation process, which Berrocal is anticipated to take a leading role in.

Martí Salvat passed away
17th of March 4538 - Egelion's President and PCPE's most prominent leader was found dead

Martí Salvat is considered the most prominent communist leader of all Egelian history. Martí Salvat was responsible for making radical changes in the PCPE, and was always opened to an alliance with the anarchists of the CNT-FAE. Being elected several times and being close to making Caille an independent socialist nation was a great achievement. However, things weren't easy and their goals weren't achieved, at all. The decline in the parliament opened doors to new parties, and Salvat was already thinking of searching another ally. Suddenly, the Nationalist Party would offer an alliance to establish a socialist economy in the nation, which Salvat accepted. This alliance made him President, and two years later, he's found dead.

Salvat died at the age of 74, he stayed as party leader for so many years, an old and experienced leader. He confronted most parties, and publicly declared that he "won't govern alongside capitalists, free-market and private property supporters" when given the chance. Egelion's totally in the hands of the cabinet and the Parliament, and the lack of an alive leader can be dangerous for the nation's streets, as tensions haven't stopped yet in Caille. It's said that elections won't last much. In the other hand, the PCPE has already prepared elections for a new leader: Alex Vidal was elected as new leader of the PCPE.

Nace "Avanza Egelion" para "darle una vuelta al inmovilismo de la izquierda en el país"
Sus fundadores dicen que es necesario un nuevo partido político que realmente represente los valores de la izquierda
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ImageImage
Mikel Anduriz and Teresa Prados, Leader and General Secretary of the newcomer Avanza Egelion

Hace apenas unos meses, Acción Alternativa se disolvía como partido político en la nación. Mikel Anduriz, miembro de esa formación política, y ahora líder de Avanza Egelion, lo tenía claro entonces:

"Llevaba mucho tiempo dándole vueltas a este asunto, y ha sido ahora la ocasión de hacerlo. Era necesaria la creación de un partido político para defender los intereses de la clase obrera, no solamente con palabra, si no con acciones de verdad."


El partido, creado apenas un mes antes de las elecciones generales anticipadas, no ha obtenido representación, pero sus dirigentes se muestran optimistas.

"Con solo un mes de vida, hemos conseguido el voto de algunos ciudadanos, e incluso hemos llegado hasta la 6ª posición en Caille. Desde fuera no parece de gran importancia, pero para un partido político con solamente un mes de vida, estos resultados son optimistas. Esperamos que para las próximas elecciones, consigamos la influencia deseada para traer el cambio que necesita Egelion"
ha declarado Teresa Prados, Secretaria General del partido.

Avanza Egelion, que en sus estatutos se define como "progresista, feminista, ecologista, socialdemócrata, en defensa del republicanismo social y el socialismo democrático", ya ha lanzado su primera propuesta en la Asamblea nacional, destinada a mejorar la sanidad del país con propuestas como la ilegalización de la gestación subrogada, el aumento del período para realizar un aborto, ayudas para la sanidad pública o la desdemonización de los alimentos genéticamente modificados.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Avanza Egelion" is born to "stop the immobilism of the left in the country"
Its foundators say that it is vital a new political party that really represent the ideas of the political left
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Just a few months ago, Acción Alternativa was dissolved as a political party in the nation. Mikel Anduriz, member of that political formation, and now leader of Avanza Egelion, had it clear then:

"I had been thinking about this issue for a long time, and now it has been the occasion to do it." It was necessary to create a political party to defend the interests of the working class, not only with words, but with real actions. "


The party, created just one month before the general elections, has not obtained representation, but its leaders are optimistic.

"With only a month of existence, we have obtained the vote of some citizens, and we have even reached the 6th position in Caille. From the outside it does not seem very important, but for a political party with only a month of existence, these results are optimistic. We hope that for the next elections, now that we have three years to show our political ideas, we will achieve the desired influence to bring the change that Egelion needs "
said Teresa Prados, Secretary General of the party.

Avanza Egelion, which in its statutes is defined as "progressive, feminist, environmentalist, social democrat, in defense of social republicanism and democratic socialism", has already launched its first proposal in the National Assembly, aimed at improving the health of the country with proposals such as the illegalization of surrogate pregnancy, the increase of the period to perform an abortion, aid for public health or the anti-demonization of genetically modified foods.
