The Momentum of Eiche

The new Reichskanzler Olaf Eiche had a easy time overcoming the stagnating elite of the old NKP. In the Leadership elections he won with 76% of the member votes, which is very high for a chairman of the Narikatonisch Konservative Partei but it still shows that there is an opposing faction in the party. Old corporate suits are included in the cabinet which also serves as a sign that Eiche had to agree to a pragmatic solution for the traditional faction influence problem. Frederik auf Pappen and Tristan Fahrenheit are two commonly known examples. We do anticipate Eiches political moves, will he be able to finally get rid of the corporate elite inside the NKP? Or is this exactly the part of the political movement which made it so popular in the first place?

MMP invited into cabinet

As a sign of good will the Reichspräsident and Reichskanzler Olaf Eiche has decided to invite the newly formed loyalist party into the cabinet by handing them out relatively small positions with not that much power. Veteran NKP members view this move with a sceptic attitude even though it is widely accepted and seen as a political compromise since these two political parties are so similar.

Transparent list of Gouverneurs

The Reichskanzler has changed an ancient law which forbids to share information about the Dukes (Gouverneurs) of the regions of Narikaton and Darnussia. Now there is an open list available to everybody which also explains a dukes obligations as well as requirements to become a duke. Public feedback seems to be very positive.

Attempted assassination of his majesty!

Image

Merenbürg, royal palace, this evening an explosion occured in the royal palace directly injuring his majesty Cedrik II von Thaller, he was transported to the best private hospital in the country and is now guarded by all available security forces while the army is searching for the assassin in the populace. Reichskanzler Eiche gave a quick statement to the press in which he condems this as a vile act against our great nation. Authorities told us that they have reason to believe that a terrorist organization known as the "Rode Brüder (Red Brothers)" is responsible for the attack. Head of State duties would fall to the designated regent but unfortunately Cedrik II von Thaller did not grant this title to anybody, family members are engaging in a heated debate right now on who should replace him for the time being.

Intelligence Services investigate

In a joint political maneuver lobbyist of intelligence services have persuaded the reichspräsident Olaf Eiche to hand over the assassination case of his majesty from the police to the Family and National Authorities. Now the operations and razzias of suspected criminals will be performed by them. Civil Rights Activist as well as leftist Trade unions see this as a problem and launched a campaign against this measure. "Secret Organizations cannot take over!" says former Socialist Party member Felix Neuberger.

The hospital in which his majesty is stationed did not tell us anything new, the King is still in critical condition.

Trans-Party Investigation

Today, the Reichskanzler initiated Operation "Thallers judgement" it is designed to serve as a investigation in each and every partys' files and personell to find the villain behind the terrorist attack. Intelligence Forces have already arrested all members of Rode Beweging but nothing else about the attack came up. They've been found guilty for robbery and destruction of public property but there is no proof Rode Beweging are behind the attack.

The Chairman for this Operation will be Honorable Judge Sandro von Thaller-Istahl, he is known to be a independent judge tending towards liberal and actually socialist ideas. NKP leadership have shown their discontent with the choice of the Union of Judges in various public statements. Nontheless the Kanzler has announced that all servants of the justice apartment assigned to the Operation have full authority to access any documents of any political party, be it thallerist or not.

NKP breaks coalition

After the unreasonable and unpredictable communist-conservative coaltition was formed critics gave them no more than two weeks, and they were right. After only a month or so the NKP broke the coalition because there are too many ideological differences between their parties. The NKP sacked the Leader that was in charge of the coalition namely Olaf Eiche, he announced that he would stay in the party as the candidate for the ministry of science.

Investigation leads to family

The Intelligence services stated that a new lead came up which leads to the von Thaller family itself, now every close family member from the main branch and the side branches in Narikaton (for example von Thaller-Merenbürg) are questioned and there already is a secret hearing in place. Council of Judges have decided that for now any news about the case are classified information since they could shake the united kingdoms stability. Successor to the throne Marlon X said "I'd return to the progenitors values. Hail Thaller."

VKP Burns Kingdom Flag En Masse

Image

Image

Image

Protesting a bill that would ban citizens from desecrating the Kingdom's flag in protest, the VKP organised the mass burning of the flag at 8:00 PM last night, setting the sky alight with flames. There was no particular location to do so, simply wherever supporters were: cities from every region burned with the light of VKP resistance. Of the 29 million supporters of the VKP, it is estimated 80% took part in the protest: that's around 23 million people across the country.

Speaking in Kozaria to a crowd of about 2,000,000 people -- an event livestreamed across Terra -- leader and outgoing Reichskanzler Rudolf Bernstein said that the event was a "show of strength for our glorious party. We will not be oppressed. Worry not, friends, for the revolution is coming. Next election, we will destroy the fascists and build a new, better, country. Glory to the people! Glory to Communism!"

Police tried to shut down the event in several cities, primarily in Narikaton, but were mostly unsuccessful: the sheer number of protesters was too great. After the VKP speech it emerged that some police started firing tear gas at protesters, causing a riot. This was quickly shut down, and Bernstein has condemned the act saying "while tear gas should not have been used, the response was disproportionate." He insisted that "this was meant to be peaceful." Similar events took place across the country, with many NKP and FNV counter-protesters turning up to fight back.

Image

It is believed that multiple buildings caught fire despite the Communists efforts to limit the risks by significantly reducing the number of flags burnt, with many merely being torn up or painted red. There has been some deaths, it is believed, where riots took place. The streets and a great deal of infrastructure were shut down in the shocking scenes, impacting the economy quite a bit.

Tensions are at boiling point, with the VKP having just under half of the seats despite gaining a slight outright majority -- 50.25%. Is this the start of a more violent response to the right-wing dominance, or merely a sign of the dedication of the Communist party to fight back against what they view as grave injustices?

VKP Calls for Thaller Investigation to Be Made Public

After it has emerged the Thaller family itself was involved in the attempted assassination of the King, the VKP has presented a motion demanding that the facts of the case be made public -- even questioning successor to the throne Marlon X.

VKP Forms Massive Paramilitary

The "Red Force" is the name given to the massive paramilitary formed under the VKP. Millions are believed to have signed up, with the paramilitary existing "as long as paramilitaries must." The party still wishes to ban them, saying this is only to "defend democracy and protect Communists."

FVN (Faust von Narikaton) patrolling in Merenbürg

One day after the mass burnings of national flags, the situation in Merenbürg is tense once again, when forces of the far right monarchist militia ''Faust von Narikaton'' marched through the streets of the capital.
In an interview the press officer of the FVN stated:
''This action is a reaction to the mass burnings of our kings flag and the creation of the a new communist militia in our kingdom. We want to show a strong presence and demonstrate our power, to the citizens of this kingdom. We live in a monarchy after all and this is good as it is. Especially, we want to remind the members of the current communist movement that the FVN is a prootector of this monarchy and we will defend even with violence, when it becomes necessary, we will fight these communists to the last man if it is that what they want!''

FVN forces where spotted inside the city, especially in the worker's district, where occasional clashes between FVN forces and members of the new communist movement occurred.
Although shots have been fired from both sidesthere have been no confirmed deaths and only an estimated 26 cases of minor shotwounds on the side of the communist resistance and an estimated total of 13 shot- and stabwounds on the side of the FVN forces.

A different situation occured on the countryside of Merenbürg, most loyalist farmers and land owners, see this movement mainly in a more positive way than the workers in the city centre.

These events where strongly criticised by left wing politicians, they state that it is a crime against the freedom of speech and a pure attempt to intimidae and provocate the left wing community.
Individuals of the left wing community also suspect the MMP behind these events, because of its strong bonds to the FVN and its well known antipathy against the VKP.
Experts see the events which have happened in the near past and which are happening currently as a dangerous development and fear that stronger violence may occur between the far right and the far left.

Merlin IV von Thaller-Merenbürg is a villain

The successor to the formal title of count of Merenbürg, Merlin IV has been sentenced to death for hightreason and rebellion against the Head of State.
Evidence has at first led the investigators believe that Marlon X has ordered the attack on his majesty but in fact the investigation came to the conclusion that it was Merlin IV.
The Count admitted before the honorable judge and has been informed that his execution is to be held public. His motives were clear, he wanted to gain more power so that the sidebranch Thaller-Merenbürg could finally succeed to the throne which it had never before. He used his personal ressources to subsidize and plan it, the socialist terrorists which actually commenced the act even though he does not have any political sympathies towards red ideas. Marlon X the successor said "If the people would have elected a orthodox-thallerist party, this would not have happened."

The Family Press Office has denounced the count and revoked all of his titles immediately, they also apologized to the public for this incident and promise an even wider internal family investigation.

The King is dead, Long live the king.
After the investigations had been made public the press office of the thaller family also announced in sorrow and despair that Cedrik II died in the hospital he has been treated in. He designated his first born son Marlon X to succeed to the throne. Ceremonial festivites are going to be held after the coronation.

During the time he still was in the condition to fulfill his duties he has been a very popular and progressive monarch say critics from all over the political spectrum, he did his job with dignity and respect towards human rights. And of course, he always respected the democratic principles of this nation. May he rest in peace.
