Protest in Zerlin



The FDP & LgV, alongside with many independents protested around the country peacfully against the new government and against new healthcare proposals. The largest protest was in Zerlin, with 32 000 demonstrators, and while there were some tensions, the protest remained peaceful as planned.

Ousted foreign minister Lustenberger urged not to vote for the newly founded DPD and KP.

First black Dundorfian president

Sophie Reda and Hans Zamheim kiss after the election results, they will share their position.

Dundorf has its first black president and the second presidency where two will share the position. Hans and Sophie were the FDP candidates, backed by the SED, for which we are extremely thankful. Sophie and Hans have said that it's important for Dundorf to become a modern, free nation full of opportunities and equality. Blacks and people of other skin colours were often persecuted, whilst women had less rights, so it's an enormous step forwards for all of Dundorf.

The FDP leadership meanwhile is disscusing to begin the legal process of banning the KP, due to right-wing extremism and direct threats to our well being. We also strongly condemn the DPD, but they will learn from their mistakes.

The new coalition is (because the FPD's out) much more left wing, but will be based on the ideals of social democracy, which is pure compromise between the SED, LgV and our 'annoying but loved' FDP. We will also have negotiations in order to push for a more orderly agenda, something we have failed at because of the DPD.

Protests mar anniversary of Reda/Zanheim presidency

The six-month anniversary of the presidential victory of Sophie Reda and Hans Zamheim was marked in different parts of the county by protests and violence.

During and after the anniversary there were violent protests in the capital of Zerlin, Oderveld, where the Konservative Partei hold a bastion of support, having secured over 60% of the primary vote during last election. The protests soon spread to several other towns in central Dundorf including Neukirchstadt and Unterschloss in Oderveld, and to Barberg, the regional capital of Zarkitsch, where angry youths threw rocks and blocked roads in protest against the new presidents.



Speaking with the protesters it is clear that the people have little faith in their new government. Indeed, many politicians give the impression that they are more concerned with internal party politics, party defections, splits and coalition building than with tackling the country's myriad economic and social crises. Sebastian Scheffler and Niko Rogge, the organisers behind the Zerlin protests, were highly critical of partisan politics currently dominating the Reichstag and of the dual-presidency model initiated by the SED/FDP/dLV alliance.

Sheffler: Why are we protesting? Frankly we're sick of the back-door deals that deliver the presidency to minor parties. We're sick of the tit-for-tat games of politicians blaming one another for their actions while in government. The people vote for change with the understanding that the politicians we elect will actually get on with their jobs and change things for the better. Instead we get sham investigations like those announced by the FDP. I mean can you believe that in six months of power the Presidents' first policy action isn't a policy announcement at all but a with-hunt aimed at their political friends-turned-enemies?

Rogge: Don't hold back Seb, this whole government is a sham. They've literally done nothing for the people. They're too busy sitting in their precious Reichstag to actually engage with the everyday person. They don't understand our wants and needs. They're too busy trialling failed experiments like the dual presidency. What's that about anyway? You can't have two people share ultimate executive power. It doesn't work. It can't work and at the current rate this government will once again walk Dundorf off the cliff and into international obscurity.

Grand Conservative Union offers a white-Rutanian supremacy plan to ensure white domination in Rutania
GCU leader offers brutal criticism of Dundorf's new black President and racial equality

In a stunning speech before the Peoples Assembly Frank Bennett, the Grand Conservative Union (GCU) leader presented the Cultural Preservation Act http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=535137 which proposes immigration quotas based on nationality and forbids interracial sex. Mr. Bennett gave a shocking speech calling on the Peoples Assembly to defend the future of the White Rutanian race. He went on to use neighboring Dundorf and its newly elected dual presidents, one of whom is black, as an example of the threat facing the white rutanian people.

Not since the Whigs has a party dared to open the old wound of racial tensions, it now appears that the GCU plans on making more than just tax reform as an election issue. With the next elections a little more than 2 years away parties are undoubtedly vetting candidates and pondering coalitions, but how will this all pan out? Will some of the other parties who have voted with the GCU to pass defense measures and change the firearm laws stand with them at election time? Only time will tell, one things for sure the political landscape is changing.



Frank Bennett -GCU leader

When asked if the GCU would make a clear statement on its racial views and policy desires this newspapers reporters were told by the GCU that more legislation would soon be coming that would clarify things so the Rutanian people could make a clear choice about their future in the next election.

Repudiating the 'anti-democratic' FDP, voters elect a conservative president

Voters in Dundorf have elected Lena Wessels, a noted Konservative Partei hardliner, as the new Reichspräsidentin.

Wessels, 42, defeated socialist candidate Herman Kleinbecher in the run-off with a winning margin of 1.4 million votes. Sophie Reda and Hans Zamheim, the incumbent presidents from the Freie Demokratische Partei, received just 5 per cent of the vote in the first round, and their party was reduced to just 25 seats in the parliament. Support for the FDP crashed after the party leadership suggested that people who served in the military were "bad people".

Political observers described the result as a repudiation of attempts by the FDP to delegitimise the KP. The FDP has repeatedly attempted to ban the KP in the last two years, without getting support from any other party.

In her victory speech, Wessels declared that the result had sent a message to the "anti-democratic forces in our midst".

"The pathetic attempt by the anti-democratic FDP to silence millions of Dundorfers and deny them a political voice has backfired. Despite the hysterical whining of the FDP, the truth is that there is only one party which has sought to subvert democracy by banning political opponents: the FDP itself," Wessels said.

"The Konservative Partei, unlike the FDP, has a constant and relentless commitment to democracy. The result in this election confirms that voters will not stand for parties which try to undermine democracy by banning views that they do not like."

The election result is particularly striking because, during the KP-led government between 4253 and 4257, Wessels was the architect of laws which introduced slavery and segregation. Those laws have been one of the supposed justifications for the FDP's attempt to ban the KP.

New FDP presidential candidate - Christian Lubach


Christian Lubach was a businessman, who successfully opened a tractors and transporters for mountain and grassland management and for forestry and municipal applications production company & then sold it to the stock market.

The FDP has a new presidential candidate, an ex-businessman of the Lubach GmbH, which is best known for producing high quality tractors and transporters. He later on sold the company and became a millionaire. The new presidential candidate got the FDP's bid after Hans and Reda stepped down, due to only getting 5.22 % of the popular vote in the reelection. They said: "The people have spoken, and if they prefer someone else, they get it, we're a democracy." Both will continue working in the party, Hans already expressed the wish to run for mayor in a mid-sized city.
However it is unlikely that Lubach will actually run for president, there have been talks to endorse the SED in order to prevent a politically uncompatible president to be elected.

The new coalition has already begun negotiating, an idea never truely undertaken, but this time the coalition is going to have a more reasonable and orderly approach at legislation and will definitely pass a new fiscal policy. Lustenberger has expressed the need to get something done, which includes the outsting of the current finance minister. Not passing the new fiscal policy was a clear failure.



We also found KP statements from the past delegitemising other liberal parties:

KP denounces 'anti-democratic' FPD

Bundeskanzlerin Gesine Rosen has fired back at the Freiheitliche Partei Dundorfs after the FPD accused the Konservative Partei of seeking to replace democracy with an authoritarian regime.

Rosen referred to the events of two years ago, in which the FPD took advantage of the dissolution of a major party to seize power. The FPD was subsequently punished at the ballot box and Rosen said that the episode showed that the FPD, not the KP, had a loose commitment to democratic government.

"There is one party, and one party alone, which has sought in recent times to subvert democracy. That party is the FPD," Rosen said.

"It was the FPD, not the so-called 'right-wing scum', which tried to orchestrate an anti-democratic coup two years ago. It was the FPD which, after being voted out of office, tried to prevent the majority from forming government. It was the FPD which then cowardly dissolved itself to avoid the inevitable consequences of its anti-democratic stance.

"And it is the FPD which is now seeking to de-legitimise the votes of the 60 million Dundorfers who voted for the KP and the Dundorfische Nationalistische Allianz at the last election. How's that for an attack on democracy?

"The FPD's attempt to pretend that it is some brand new party, which can dissociate itself from its crimes against democracy, is laughable. Thank God for the end of the authoritarian era led by the extremist, power-hungry FPD. The KP, unlike the FPD, has been relentlessly democratic in principle and practice. Dundorf is now enjoying stable, moderate and democratic government under the stewardship of my party and the DNA. Our government truly reflects the will of the people."

Ironically the KP supports slavery and limiting political freedom, but it's easy to see that the KP is saying that any party that opposes it is 'anti-democratic.'

FDP pulls out of the coalition - Dundorf left in political gridlock

It was a hard choice, but we went with plan B this time.

The FDP offically pulls out of the current governing coalition, all FDP ministers resign, including the defence minister. The FDP will also begin blocking all SED proposals, even if we agree with them. We will however not join power with the opposition, because cooperation with the KP is illegitimate - This leaves Dundorf in a political gridlock, unless the hard right and hard left parties work together, none of them has more than 50% of all MPs needed to pass legislation.

It is worth noting, that we do support the new fiscal policy, because it is necessary for our country to function properly and to give people the cake they've always wanted.

Neues Dundorf: MAJOR DEMONSTRATIONS IN 3 REICHSLäNDER


Despite a magnificent victory of the Sozialistische Einheitspartei Dundorfs, the SED was just 5 seats short of an overall majority in the Reichstag. However, the outgoing Reichskanzler, Markus Lager was very pleased with this election result. Ït just shows that socialism is well alive in our nation", he was quoted saying . The SED won a clear absolute majority vote in 3 Reichsländer: Kronstein, Grozvic Muzelbergen and Gayern. Major demonstrations broke out against the conservative KP-DPD coalition. Their reactionary budget- and privatization proposals were met with protests on the streets in all SED governed major cities. Even from Zarkitsch are reports of demonstrations coming in. The SED leaders spoke to the massive crowds that this has to be peaceful. "We must wait and hear what the conservative Hanel Government and their DPD lackeys have to say. They cannot ignore the voice of so many ". A well-informed source close to the SED leadership said to our correspondent that his party are preparing a protestmarch to Zerlin to show the discontent of almost half of the electorate. It all depends on the reaction of this Government towards the demonstrators.
