The REP puts forward the policy of "fortress under siege"Between 29-30 January 2758 at Hayek the Republican Elitist Party held an extraordinary congress. After the last elections the REP felt the need to redefine its political objectives.
The President of the party, Victoria von Bruckenthal (
see below) stated that the REP had held the highest office of Rutania for 35 years and there was a need for a renewal in the party. Mrs. von Bruckenthal also expressed her will to re-evaluate the REP's relations towards the other political parties. She found that during its "reign" the party slightly turned towards leftist measures, a tendency which must be stopped.
The President of the party envisaged a revised ideological path: returning to the true liberal views and refusing to make compromises with other ideological trends. "The Party must keep its ideological integrity and must refuse every attack from the left and the right. This is the policy of
fortress under siege" - Mrs. von Bruckenthal claimed.
In her speech, Vice-President Eleanor Bozarburg clarified the REP's relationship with the OP: "We are willing to let them into the fortress, but they should express their wills." Mrs. Bozarburg also said that neither she, nor Mrs. von Bruckenthal intend to run for the Presidential seat. "We have not decided yet who our candidate be, but we will make this decision in this year. It is very probable that the REP will still endorse Kelly Brogan form the OP."
Analysts say that besides the scenario with Mrs. Brogan, the most probable plan B is the person of Foreign Minister, Pierre LeBon.
