Civil War Averted! End of the Generalstreik! The Volksfront is formed!

Image
Above: Flag of the Trade Union Congress

Following the division of the National Bolshevik Party into left and right, Reinhardt Frei, Gerhard Paulsen and Franz von Fernand (Leaders of the AAF, DKP and NBP, respectively) have united their parties in the Trade Union Congress in Haldor to discuss the creation of a new coalition and the potential end to the Generalstreik (General Strike) in Dorvik. Most members of the AAF and DKP agreed that the leftist branch of the NBP should be forgiven and be considered comrades and friends of the workers, while a small minority, particularly from the more conservative elements of these parties believed the NBP could potentially betray the left once more. However, once again the libertarian side of the AAF and the majority of the DKP decided that the Left National Bolshevik Party and its members deserved a second chance, and were declared an official member of the Trade Union Congress.

Negotiations begun, and the creation of a new coalition and cabinet for the now completely socialist government was proposed by Kuno Rottman in an inspiring speech, assuring that a united left would bring a bright future for Dorvik and its people. The NBP candidate, Franz von Fernand, also spoke to the working class, claiming that a new National Bolshevik Party would no longer see their friends, the left, as enemies any longer, and that absolutely no negotiations with the Centre and Right parties could happen. However, Reinhardt Frei took the oportunity to respond to the New Pragmatische Union and to their threats to the new coalition:

The New Pragmatische Union has stated that they will do anything they can to stop our new alliance. They say that our parties have created an "axis of evil", and that we will surely end democracy when we control the state. However, I wish to say to the NPU and to Petra Menager, but most importantly to the people themselves who are against us: we will not destroy your liberty. If the NPU rallies their supporters in order and promote civil unrest and disobedience, it is their constitutional right to do so. The Volksfront will take absolutely no action against them, for we do not wish to take away their decision to oppose us. This new alliance, the Volksfront, will ensure that all parties from the Right, Centre and Left, will maintain their rights to oppose us and others, as we will ensure that the people are no longer threatened by totalitarian parties. Power is not my interest, which is why Kuno Rottman, Vice-Representative and a friend, will represent the AAF in the Volksfront and in the government. I hope the Volksfront can reach a state of peace with the other parties in Dorvik.


Finally, the Volksfront has declared the end of the Generalstreik, claiming it was successful and that all revolutionary activities must be stopped in order to bring back stability to Dorvik's streets. With 71% of approval in parliament, the new coalition seems to be unstoppable, but how will members of the Centre and Right act after this important event in the nation's history?

The Centre Should Unite to Protect Dorvik:-Sophie Bergström

Image

"The Centre Should Unite to Protect Dorvik"were the exact words which New Dorvik Leader Mrs.Sophie Bergström said to reporters here in Haldor as soon as News Emerged that the Discussions between The NBP and The Centrist Parties Collapsed,This Means that Dorvik is set to be governed by the Most Left Government in its modern History,The Coalition has also decided to change the Constitution itself,Which has been met with opposition from all the moderate parties,Mrs.Bergström said that "There is a Threat to Dorvish Democracy itself"and she said that this Government is intent on Destroying Dorvik and it's reputation in the global stage.

She also expressed her Apprehension towards the Possibility of Mass Scale Nationalisation and Stated that The Civil and Political Liberties of the Dorvish People is under attack.And at the same time Requested the Government not to launch a "Full scale assault on private enterprise".

She said she was also concerned about the Level of Anti Yeudi Sentiments in the Left and Said that she,as a Yeudi herself is scared about the safety of her family and Called on the NBP To Crack down On such Hateful Rhetoric in their party.

Mrs.Bergström also said that her party is willing to Work Together with the NPU And has Praised Mrs.Menager for "Acting as the Voice of Reason Inside the Parliament" as opposition leader.

DNS Editorial:-
New Dorvik Ditches Populist Rhetoric

Almost 3 years have passed since New Dorvik was Registered As a Political Party with the Elections Commission,It is Still Led by Trelin Based Talk Show Host Sophie Bergström,But her Rhetoric is much different from how it was Then,The New Dorvik,when it was formed,It spoke out against How Successive Governments have been "Encouraging" Illegal Immigrants and Welfare Recipients and Gave a Protectionist Vision for The Nation,It was Criticized for Favouring Pork Barrel Politics when the Parties Nominees in Westmark Called for Specific Infrastructure Projects and Schemes for Westmark and also said that the Province was not receiving the attention it deserved from Consecutive Federal Governments

That Led to a Very Good Showing In Westmark when it won 21 Seats out of the 119 Seats Available,But that was it.It was not even able to Reach Half a Percent of the Vote Outside of Westmark.And as the Extreme Left won a two thirds majority and as the Party also starts to Attract Voters Nationwide.It has Positioned itself as the Most Liberal Party in the Political Spectrum and the Parties Conference held early this year in Haldor Only Confirmed that when the Parties Constitution was amended to express it's Support for a "Smaller Government in both the Economic and Social Sphere"and at the same time ensuring access to "Good Social Services"for all Dorvikians,It also calls for ensuring "equal opportunity for all Dorvikians Regardless of their Race,Religion,Gender or Sexual Orientation".Though Ms.Bergström was always Moderate and even Wrote many articles on Discrimination in Dorvish Society,She was Widely Criticized for having been silent on Comments made by Party Members but she has been clamping down on hate speech within her party,a recent example was the Party Expelling many Controversial Figures such as It's Former Policy Chair and MP Jocelyn Leichhardt when Disparaging Comments Made by her Towards Immigrants online.

This Does Represent a Positive Change in the Party and the Party Hopes that these reforms will boost its standing among all sections of Dorvish Society and will present it as a Serious Alternative for Centrists and People on both the moderate left and the moderate right,Only Time will tell as to whether the People Repose their Trust in New Dorvik.

April 4391
TGP ORGANIZES SIT IN
The TGP has organized a sit-in of traditional conservative's and other right wing activists in the country capital of Haldor

Earlier in the day cars could be seen blocking off roads and thousands of protesters gathered on the central square of Haldor. They had answered the call of TGP leader Blocher to attend a sit-in in Haldor.
Blocher has called upon "all traditional conservatives and right wing voters to stand up and fight against the dissolution of our democracy"

Thousands answered this call of Blocher and some even took their own cars to block of intersections in the capital. The traffic was in disorder following these developments and the protesters where quick to consolidate on the central square of Haldor. The city's traffic has now practically halted.

We stand here today to protect our dear republic! We have fought for our freedom! We have died for our democracy! And what does this government do? They want to throw this progress in the bin! They want to drive our economy to total collapse and have our influence in the world dwindle! And now with the constitutional reforms passing they want to take away our identity, freedom and democracy in one vile sweep. I say NO!


Said Blocher when he addressed the protesters.
It is expected that even more protesters will join this sit-in. It is unclear if other opposition party's will join the sit-in movement.

NBP announces new economic reform
Image
Pictured above: Franz von Fernand speaking to the press

Today, the NBP has announced an economic reform. Extremely radical in nature, it seeks to nationalize the nation's industry. This is the second step in the plan of the NBP to turn Dorvik into a communist state. With the flag already changed, the name change in progress and now the economy of the country becoming a socialist one, it is sure that Dorvik will see a new "Red era".

Multiple private company owners have decided to take out their investments in the national industry, as the nationalization will mean an end for any possible gains they could make.
What's good, thanks for reading my signature.

Kongress der Volksfront is inaugurated!

Image
Above: Haus der Leute, where the Kongress der Volksfront will be moved to

With the new coalition being formally declared by the left leaning parties in Dorvik, a decision was to be made: Where would they speak and decide on what to do next?

Until then, speeches and decisions were taken in the Syndikatskongress or Trade Union Congress, where the Anarchist Union, precursor to the Workers Anarchist Federation, was formed. Franz von Fernand, Leader of the National Bolshevik Party, stated that a new building should be chosen to substitute it, given that the Volksfront must be an equal organization for all its members. Instead, the Haus der Leute or House of the People, was chosen as the best building in Dorvik, located in Lissenfeld, Westmark. This location was picked over Central Haldor in memory of the 52 students that died protesting in the University of Lissenfeld, and it will stand as a reminder of the struggle they went through to change their world.

Image

The Syndikatskongress, headquarters of the Workers Anarchist Federation, will no longer be used as a central committee for the Volksfront, and instead it will return to its previous position as the party's chamber. The creation of this new edifice, according to the NBP, means a stable organizing ground for the left and a centralized point in which the Volksfront will carry out its reforms.

Menager: People's Front Congress Undermines Democracy // DNS

Image
Above: Petra Menager


In the wake of the creation of the 'People's Front Congress', Petra Menager of the NPU has called out the new socialist body for 'undermining parliamentary democracy and being a first step in the path of dictatorship'. This criticism is mainly directed in the way that the new Congress is viewed as undermining in particular the actual national legislature of Dorvik, elected in nation-wide elections. Due to the unstoppable far-left majority in the People's Chamber, they can pass through all legislation that the coalition agrees on. What the People's Front proposes to the legislature is decided now in the new Congress, making the Congress highly influential. Menager has criticised the way that this means that the Congress has become the real legislature of Dorvik, and that it is the real centre of discussion for the government - reducing the elected chamber to 'an act of kabuki theatre'.

The Congress has, practically, begun to act now like the de facto legislature of Dorvik, even if the People's Chamber remains the de jure legislature. The Congress, with representatives across the far-left, can now decide on socialist economic reform that will always pass the Chamber. Some social issues, however, will still be decided more so in the Chamber than in the Congress, as the centrist and conservative parties have the deciding vote if the NBP breaks away from their allies for some issues. Regardless, the fact that an unelected body is now wielding more power, at least on the economy and constitution, than the supposed national legislature is causing a lot of concern. "I'm personally shocked and horrified that our parliament is being so greatly undermined," says NPU leader Menager, "it's the first step for the coalition in establishing a dictatorship in our nation".

In reality, the Congress is the natural product of a government with such close policy coherency and an unassailable majority. While it does not claim to be a replacement for the Chamber, it does undoubtedly have more power at the moment on many of the key issues that affect Dorvik. However, the Chamber does have the final say on the proposals agreed in the Congress, and after the elections the Congress will no longer act as a de jure legislature should the coalition lose its majority. If the coalition retains its majority, then the Congress will practically overwrite the Chamber and from then on we could see massive upheaval on the right. Many particularly criticise that the Congress is not at all elected, and is instead a forum for internally selected members of the coalition alliance. Approval ratings for the government stand currently at 44%, and for the President at 44% also.

Nationalsozialistische Arbeiterpartei supports People's Front Congress?

Image
Leonhard Schünemann is pictured above answering questions to reporters

Following the creation of the People's Front Congress reporters have been seeking Leonhard Schünemann opinion on the newly created Congress and in this interview, we were able to get a response.

Leonhard Schünemann responded that

I believe that this is a significant step forward for Dorvik and the socialist cause worldwide. This Peoples Congress will receive the support of the NSDAP for as long as it doesn't attempt to erode tradition, destroy our culture, flood our nation with foreigners or support the Yeudish cause. As of now, I think it is a step in the right direction and we shall see how it turns out.


When it was brought up that many people may see this as bowing down to communism and a betrayal of the core ideas the NSDAP was founded on Leonhard Schünemann responded by saying

Now don't get me wrong I'm not bending over for the Commies or anyone else right now capitalism is the threat this nation faces and I believe we can work the Peoples Congress for the betterment of Dorvik. The moment the Commies go against the NSDAP and the pure Dorvish people there will be hell to pay I promise you that.

Economic Miracle!

Extreme profits after nationalization act!

Although most capitalist and conservative parties and citizens of Dorvik panicked as the country begun a fast nationalization period, the Ministry of Finance is proud to announce that their program to erase Dorvik's debt is an astounding success!
This program increased taxes on several industries and raised tariffs on international trade, while also creating democracy in the workplace. The most important change was the decrease in Essential Goods Tax to only 1%, while increasing Luxury Goods Tax up to 40%. This, perhaps small change to most, raised the government's profit up to 84,525,498,747 DDO per year, which will be used primarily in the creation of industry and a national welfare system.

Kuno Rottman, Vorsitzender des Ministerrates, gave us his opinion:
Thanks to the Dorvish Communist Party and their programs, we have entered an economic boom never seen before in Dorvik's history. Finally, the workers are able to lead their own workplaces and establish their own rules, which has more than tripled our profit since 4389. Although there are still some that oppose our policies, I am sure this change is without a doubt a proof that we are the bright future Dorvik needs.

TGP WINS ELECTIONS!
The TGP has won elections in Dorvik and promises to "Bring back our democracy"

The TGP has won elections in Dorvik. Party officials where "exhausted but extremely happy" with the result. Their platform of religious conservatism has clearly catched onto the people in Dorvik and mainly the south where the TGP won large majority's. Party president Mathias Blocher said the following during a speech to supporters at the TGP HQ.

I am extremely proud of our achievement today! The people have spoken out for democracy and it is incredible! Let us rebuild a nation that has been struck by an immense tragedy just moments ago and restore the true democracy of Dorvik! We we build a future of tradition and shall make sure that we get back to the core that dorvik is known for. Strength, leadership and cooperation!


It is expected that Mathias Blocher will be appointed as the HOG. That position is also planned to change its name to Chancellor of the Republic while a elected president will be called President of the Republic under a proposed law by the TGP.

The election win marks the possible end to a dark period in dorvish history that saw the "red menace" transform the country into a authoritarian left wing dictatorship. This election was marked as "the last election of Dorvik" and it seems it will not be. Many people that where still at the sit-in in the capital erupted in celebration and accros the nation the former federal republic's flag was waved in street celebrations. Now the TGP is planned to form a centre-right government and "re-establish the basic institutions that were lost during this dark period"
