Early elections give parliamentary majority to a coalition between the FDK, The Unbowed, DS and the PDP

The early elections have provided a good scenario for the opposition to United Kalopia: an absolute majority for a future government made up of the FDK, The Unbowed, DS and the PDP.
After the call for elections as a result of an unsuccessful result last month, with the inability of the parties to form coalitions that would add an absolute majority due to the crossed vetoes between PATRI.S and The Unbowed and the isolation of United Kalopia, these new elections, in in which both United Kalopia and PATRI.S have lost seats, have been key for a change of government to take place.
With Mr. Kyriakos Demakou confirmed again as President of Kalopia after receiving the support of the FDK, DS and the PDP and facing the candidate the PATRI.S with the support of United Kalopia, the first joy of the election night came to the headquarters from The Unbowed.
says a senior official of The Unbowed."The creation of this common front around Mr. Demakou has been essential to face the threat posed by the entry of the extreme right into our institutions, and we have achieved this because Mr. Demakou is a figure that does not arouse suspicion both sides of the political spectrum, and who is seen as a figure of broad consensus, United Kalopia laughed at us, called us "cowards" for opposing an early election thinking that maybe they could also take the Kalopia Presidency, but It was his arrogance and his attempt to make partisan use of a figure like the Head of State that has been his undoing,"
After knowing the electoral result, Mrs. Zografou, the leader of The Unbowed, contacted the leadership of the FDK to inform them that they would not oppose a coalition government with the PDP and DS "as long as the most harmful aspects of the Change Kalopia for good" bill" approved by PATRI.S and United Kalopia, and which, among other "barbarities", outlawed homosexual marriage and adoption, abortion, sex change, euthanasia, and penalized blasphemy. With the FDK's compromise, The Unbowed's intention was to support an FDK-DS-PDP coalition government from outside, but DS went ahead by bringing to parliament a government proposal with them included in the government.
"Although we would prefer to stay out of a government like this and give our parliamentary support from outside, it is urgent that this government headed by PATRI.S be renewed, so we have decided to vote in favor of it."
But for the moment, the citizens of Kalopia remain in a tense wait since the PDP, the smallest party in parliament but whose votes are essential for this government to move forward, has not yet ruled on its final decision, and if does not do so in the coming months, the government proposal will fail.
The priorities of this new government, if approved, should be the amendment of all the damage done by PATRI.S during last legislature, as well as putting an end to the Solentian conflict, that is damaging not only their own but much part of Eastern Majatra
