Formation of a new political party in Caille

Iolanda Abreu Galán, the Ministry of Education and Culture, announced the formation of a new political party: Esquerra Republicana de Caille (ERC). The main objective of the party is to be the platform for the voice, aspirations, and needs of the Caillean people. She said the party would also represent and defend the rights of all Cailleans regardless of race and religion as stipulated in the Constitution. Abreu said that “we are expecting to recruit at least 5,000 members in the firsts weeks and hoping to recruit at least 50,000 members nationwide within three years.”

ERC is the fraternal party of the UDRC, acting as the latter's Caillean branch. As part of an agreement between both parties, the UDRC will not run in any elections in the Caillean Electoral Districts and the Caillean UDRC was dissolved. ERC will be on the same national ticket as the UDRC at the national elections. The national Deputies and Senators elected as part of ERC’s ticket are part of the UDRC Parliamentary Group. Also, ERC members are eligible for national leadership positions in the UDRC.

ERC has also forged an electoral alliance with many smaller political parties that defend the right of self-determination while campaigning for the region to remain in Egelion. Moreover, a coalition of representatives from prominent civil society groups and independent candidates was accepted into the new party.

Majority of voters still oppose Caillean independence

The result of the last elections showed that voters in Caille oppose independence by 68 per cent to 32 per cent. The only pro-independence party, the new coalition Unión de Izquierda, got 31.11%, up from the previous elections (30.95%), but down from the highest moment of support of the pro-independence forces in March 4458 with a 48.08%.

The Partido Liberal Democrático took second place with 20.81% (-1.64%), ORTEGA with 18.77% (+2.19%), and the Unión Demócrata Republicana Confederal and Nuevo Partido Republicano Popular with results almost unchanged on 15.45% and 13.79% respectively.

In a recent survey, the number of people who expect to become independent in the next five to 10 years has dropped slightly, down 2% to 27%. The number who do not expect independence at any point in the next few decades has also dropped 2% to 30%.

Election expert professor Josep Vidal told the newspaper: “Support remains high enough for the independence flame still to be burning, but not strongly enough for the UI to contemplate another push against the state any time soon.” He added: “The UDRC strategy of touring the region and create a new political party in the region is cheered by the 7.07% increase in support since the March 4058 vote and the beginning of the new strategy.”

FOUNDATION OF THE CNT-FAE: A NEW LEFT IN EGELION!
Trade Union members and Anarchists have gathered in Caille to form the CNT-FAE (Central Nacional de Trabajo-Federacion Anarquista de Egelion), a new radical leftist political party following anarchist ideals
February 4474

A new leftist party has formed in Egelion. Calling themselves the CNT-FAE or National Central of Workers-Anarchist Federation of Egelion, this new organization seeks to unite all trade unions and workers together with revolutionary thinkers and libertarian socialists across Egelion. Founded by Damián Montreal, an anarcho-syndicalist journalist with the desires to create a new leftist front, the new confederation already has gathered over 10.000 workers from around the country and has high hopes for the next elections.

Advocating for a syndicalist economy and a libertarian society, the CNT-FAE is sure to find itself surrounded by enemies. Although the Partido Liberal Democrático and the Unión Demócrata Republicana Confederal, both centre and centre-right, have yet to respond to this new party, many believe that polarization is soon to come to Egelion. However, the CNT-FAE differentiates itself from many left parties in the power the State should have. Being an essentially anarchist-only party, the Confederation seeks to collectivize the economy while decentralizing and lowering the amount of power the State holds in Egelion, using syndicalism and mutualism as effective ways to realize this.

Will this new front be able to achieve its utopian ideals? Or will this only polarize the Egelian society and cause more disaster than good? Only time can tell.

CNT-FAE BECOMES LEADING PRO-SEPARATIST PARTY!
As Caillean separatist movements begin to flourish anew, the CNT-FAE, which main headquarters are staged in Caille itself, becomes leading proponent for an independent Caillean Nation
April 4475

Although the Caillean referendum showed that less than 40% of Caillean citizens wanted to become independent from Egelion and very little support came from the existing political parties, the CNT-FAE, a new leftist organization already very popular between many circles in the region has become the vanguard of Caillean Independence. A speech was given by Damián Montreal, General Secretary of the FAE, towards a crowd of protestors in Norterra and claims that "The flames in the Caillean heart cannot be extinguished" Enormous protests have begun to appear in the main cities of Caille, and it seems that separatist support is increasing.

However, the CNT-FAE has been quick to declare that the party does not support violence against the Egelian State or authorities, assuring that these tactics will only help pro-unionist circles and delay independence even further. Will this mean that the CNT-FAE, the new kid on the block, will accomplish to start a fire in Caille that won't be able to be burned out? Or is it only a populist tactic, used near the elections to obtain more votes?

THE CNT-FAE MOBILIZES! PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

Tensions are beginning to rise in the streets of Egelion, as the presidential election comes closer every day and the CNT-FAE is already underway with their own campaign. However, just after Damián Montreal, the CNT-FAE's Presidential Candidate ended his speech a group of 80 monarchist-supporters began attacking members of the event. Although the police eventually intervened, it was the Acción Antifascista (Anti-Fascist Action) which began to push away the aggressors. Although there weren't any deaths, 12 were injured and the event had to be called off. Even though the Partido Monarquista, a pro-monarchist party had disappeared, it seems that supporters haven't disappeared with them.

The FAE is an anti-moral organization built on the dissatisfaction of the public, using populist tactics to gain enough votes! We say no to them, and know that anarchism will be burnt down by the people themselves!

Says Miguel Rodo, a member of the pro-monarchist group.

It seems that the CNT-FAE's formation has led to a polarization in Egelian society, and no one is quite sure of what will happen once votes are in.

TIAGO AVILES WINS THE ELECTION FOR THE PLD! DAMIÁN MONTREAL COMES A CLOSE SECOND!
The Partido Liberal Democrático has gotten first place once again on the elections of May 4476 with an astounding 70.18% while the Federación Anarquista Ibérica came second with only 29.82%

Votes are in for the Elections of May 4476 and the Partido Liberal Democrático, the leading party in Egelion, has managed to win once again despite the heavy polarization that took Egelion by surprise with the creation of the CNT-FAE. Gaining only 39.12% in the first round but an astounding 70.18% in the second, the PLD has maintained their position as ruling party in Egelion. However, 21.05% of the votes went to the Damián Montreal and the CNT-FAE, and although only 29.82% of the votes were for the FAE in the second round, the Asamblea Nacional de Egelion has finally been divided between all parties in the country.

The Partido Liberal Democrático was popular in the main regions of Amateria, Edergira and Yadráz, while the CNT-FAE was the most popular party in Caille, which experts agree will definitely cause riots and protests in the region. However, the leftist party was unable to obtain enough 2/3 of the National Assembly, which means any constitutional changes are off the table as long as the anarchist organization doesn't ally with other parties.

PARTIDO LIBERAL DEMOCRÁTICO WINS AGAIN!
The PLD wins their fifth election in a row with 53.80% of votes while the CNT-FAE comes second once again, with 46.16%
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tiago Aviles has obtained presidency once again in the elections of 4480, maintaining the status quo party in power. The Partido Liberal Democrático obtained 53.80% of votes, and a majority in all regions of Egelion except for Caille, which was won by the Liga Verde Nacional. Nevertheless, the CNT-FAE, the second biggest party and main opponent of the liberal party in power came second once again, with 46.16%. Although it wasn't a win for the anarchists, the massive increase in votes thanks to the help of the Partido Comunista Progresivo de Egelion which is allied with the CNT-FAE proves that slowly the left is gaining more and more power in Egelion's politics.

The PCPE is planning internal reforms
13th of March 4486 - Martí Salvat shows that he hasn't got time to waste

With David Arnal leaving the party and with his death a year later, the democratically choosen leader of the party, Martí Salvat, is already planning a radicalisation of the party. Salvat thinks that the party should work through alliances, not only to get their own purposes, but also the whole alliance's purposes, just like David Arnal thought. However, he believes they're doing it wrong by waiting and wasting their time with words, debates and intellectualism. As Salvat said during an interview after his election, "I agree that the use of words and intellectualism may help, but we spent thirty years doing that and we got no successful result. Maybe what we must do now is starting to change our strategy."

Salvat is also thinking of making alliances with the new parties in the Parliament and searching for international help, like David Arnal did when getting help from Trigunia. However, Salvat doesn't seem to seek the same kind of help, seems like he's preparing a serious attack against the government. We'll see what Salvat is planning and what do the people think about him and his plans.

March 4486
GENERAL STRIKE IN EGELION! ANARCHISTS TAKE THE STREETS!
Anarchist and Syndicalist activists have taken the streets of Egelion to protest against the rule of the Partido Liberal Democrático!

For a long time, the existence of an Anarchist and Libertarian Socialist party in Egelion has been an uneasy event for many in the country. Fearing that violence or direct action would come from this party would come sooner or later, the Partido Liberal Democrático managed to stay in power while the CNT-FAE always remained in second place. However, after several elections, militants (especially between 16-25) have organized and carried out the beginning of a General Strike, in which participants intend to end the status quo created by the Partido Liberal Democrático and give Egelion a chance to establish deeper progressive changes both in social and political aspects. Nonetheless, the CNT-FAE has made clear that no violent behaviour is acceptable for now.

However, after the arrival of Martí Salvat and the changes proposed in the party concerning radicalism and direct action members of the CNT-FAE are hoping to see militants of the PCPE join forces in the General Strike. Other parties, however, have yet to decide where they stand in this matter.

Formation of the Socialist Forces
19th of September 4486 - The PCPE prepares for a direct strike, founding the Socialist Forces

According to Martí Salvat, this is not a war declaration against the government, but a voluntary army that will assist to strikes, protests, coups, wars and raids. The purpose of this army is to strengthen the socialist and Caillean separatist movement, proving that they're strong and able to damage the government. Salvat said, "Seems like Egelion's destine is to live through civil wars and constant conflicts, especially between socialists and capitalists. I don't really know if there will be a second civil war, but if it does, it will do something good for all of us".

The Socialist Forces consist of 764 members at this moment, distributed from all cities from Caille. It doesn't seem to be dangerous at all at this moment, but the people are already thinking of a second civil war, especially after the formation of the SF, even thought the PCPE seems not to be interested in a civil war and pretend to reach their purposes by another means. However, it doesn't mean that they don't think that violence may be a valid and efficient alternative to this conflict. Next elections will probably answer to many of our questions, but at this moment we can't expect anything, at least, from the PCPE.
