Cailleans, unite against the fascist government!

Xarxa,Caille- For years, the growing Caillean population in Egelion has been subjugated and left voiceless and powerless.Today, we make up 16% of the total population of Egelion, yet not one robber baron politician recognizes us as a culturally and ethnically independent people.After years of failed democratic attempts to gain recognition and autonomy for our people, we have come to the realization that the time for democratic reconciliation and peaceful talks has come to a needed end.Today, we announce the beginning of an armed struggle to free our people from the fascist government and establish our own state, the República Democràtica de Caille (Democratic Republic of Caille).Our insurrection will give our Caillean brothers a revolutionary state where Caillean culture and heritage is celebrated, not degraded.It will emancipate the working masses and allow them to establish the socialist state that will served the people.It will free the women and children,who will sing our anthem from the mountain tops, and it will create a state of national pride and ethnic freedom our people have not seen in centuries.We will be free, we will be victorious! Revolució, la llibertat i el país! Glòria a la EERDC-ARA!

Consul Talks of Referendum as two Cabinet Ministers Resign

August 3675


After Presidente Henry Lozada announced that his party would vote against the bill for Caillean independence there was great unrest throughout Partido Demócrata which climaxed with the resignation of Caillean born ministers Charles Fuentes and Nerida Muñiz. Fuentes (43) had this to say 'I have constantly stood for the Caillean people, it is the reason I got into politics, I was under the impression that Patido Democrata was in support of an independent Caille, now that I see the truth I think its time to leave.' When asked if he would return to Egelion politics he announced that he would run as an independent for now on until he finds a party that fits his beliefs. Muniz was unavailable for comment.

In response to increasing pressure in his Party Consul Malco Villareal announced that he propose a bill for a 'fair referendum on the subject'. This is against the wishes of party leader Lozada, who as Presidente is not able to propose bills or participate in voting in the assembly.

September 4,3675

Tens of thousands of Cailleans rally for independence in the regional capital Xarxa.


Xarxa,Caille- An estimated 34,000 Cailleans rallied in the regional capital today, after the all-Caillean EERDC-ARA! swept the region in elections, demanding an immediate split from colonial power Egelion and the formation of an independent Caillean nation led by the Exalted Left of the Democratic Republic of Caille-Now! (EERDC-ARA!), and it's charismatic jefe Subcomandant Ifraín. Ifraín, a native Caillean whose history is unknown, has promised to lead an armed struggle to free the Caillean people after years of failed democratic attempts to gain autonomy for the restive region.At the rally, the people proclaimed their demands to the ruling Democratic Party, which has seen cracks appear within as two Caillean ministers resigned in protest.The people's demands were for an immediate split from Egelion, the formation of a socialist state and immediate separation of Egelionan and Caillean culture and language, with the recognition of Caillean as an official language in Egelion.As of tonight, the protesters are awaiting an official government response to their demands.

Meanwhile, in the mountains surrounding Xarxa, Subcomandant Ifraín organized the armed faction of his EERDC-ARA! front and led a show of force which was applauded by surrounding communities brfoe deliviring a response to the government's promise of a fair referendum on Caillean independence."Those thugs sitting in their corporate chairs will not allow a "fair referendum".Do not fall for this brothers, it is a tactic of their fascist oppression.We have tried countless times and received countless promises of freedom, all to no avail.The time for their democracy is gone, now it is time for our brand of armed struggle!This is our yard brothers, our task is to free the Caillean people! Insurrecció i Independència Ja! Visca l'estat Cailla lliure!"

Liberals Present Electoral Manifesto
July 13, 3733

Image
PLE leader Adolfo Sierra

Demar Solad, Egelion Egelion’s PLE presented its electoral manifesto at the party’s first Congress held in Demar Solad, Amateria. 450 party delegates, elected from the provincias voted on the party’s electoral manifesto for the December 3733 elections. The party also re-elected its 17 member Executive Board and the leadership as well. Party President Adolfo Sierra was re-elected by acclamation while his two Vice-President Elena Colom and Bela Rakosi were both re-elected unopposed, each garnering more than 98% of the vote.

The platform adopted by the party promises to impose a flat income tax of 23% for incomes above P5,000. The platform also proposed to devolve a lot of decision making power in health, education and environmental sectors to the provincial governments. Several privatisations were also pledged, with the national energy company EPA and the national railway corporation EgeRail set to be sold off. The platform avoided social issues given the PLE’s tendency to disagree on those with a clear split between the majority social conservatives and the minority social liberals. President Sierra addressed his party in a fierce passionate speech about the economy and regulation.

I say to you government bureaucrats, you will not for eternity, continue to burn the the Egelian entrepreneur on a pyre of overregulation, nationalisation and overcentralisation. A PLE government will tame the beast that is the leech known as the Egelian bureaucracy. A monster whose sole existence is to sap the very life force it attempts to kill. Economic liberty is the most important of all liberties due to a person because it is the great facilitator of all other liberties. The hovel states with socialist economic models can never be liberal, democratic or open for socialism imprisons not just the economy but the mid and the individual as well. We liberals reject all traces of state socialism and if elected in December, we shall kick socialism out the door!


The Liberals have begun campaigning across the Federal Republic, hoping to utilise the next five months. They have expressed surprise at the enthusiasm that their proposals and campaigns have received from the public. The Liberals' expressed intent to transform the political system into a parliamentary based one has proven awkward as they campaign hard for a presidential candidate, who if elected, they will shortly rob of his executive powers in the months following the election .

Banderas Elected Presidente
December 2, 3761

Image
Presidente Elio Banderas

Popular musician Elio Banderas had been elected Presidente of the Federal Republic of Egelion. The 59 year old hitmaker of popular tunes such as 'My Kizenian Girl' , 'Stars Fell on Eder Gira' and many others, ran unopposed following what appears to be a technical error which robbed the Hi Party of an opportunity to run against Banderas. The Hi Party however managed to keep its majority in the legislative elections, winning 197 out of 350 seats in the Cortes Generales. This has created some deadlock in the Egelian political scene with Banderas' Constitutional Democratic Party unable to confirm any of Banderas' nominees for his Cabinet.

Banderas himself was an odd candidate for Presidente. His opponents charge that he only joined the Constitutional Democrats attracted by the party's anti-tax stance but otherwise opposes its socially conservative stances. He has no political experience whatsoever and his party's new MPs in the Cortes are mostly political amateurs. they are however strongly driven and ideological, with a powerful devotion to a path comprising of low taxation, limited government and federalisation of Egelion.

CHURCH OF EGELION

Significant participation from the distant country in Keris


A very large delegation's form Egelion has arrived this morning in Auroria for the Council composed of priests, bishops, laity and clergy members. Around 93% of Egelonians are Selucian Patriarchal, making it one of the biggest Hosian countries in the world. Egelonians are very religious as a population, and the government just financed the construction of more than 50 churches and 3 cathedrals around the nation. The ruler of Egelion, the king Juan Felipe de Montalivet y Nueva-Formos, is very religious himself and a devout of Sarahae, mother of Eliyahu. He has personally sent 20 members of the government in representation in Auroria and many compnents of the Royal Family; unofficial rumors say he may visit too.

The picture shows Cardinal Montalto-Rodriguez, Archibishop of Demar Solad with his entourage.

Although Egelion and Selucia are quite distant, the relationships between the two countries have been always friendly since the Hosianization of Egelion. Annually, many Egelonians visit the EMpyrean Temple in Pilgrimage.
Of the 12 cardinals of Egelion, 8 will be arriving in Selucia, while 2 are part of the Curia in Auroria; the remaining two will stay in Egelion due to their old age. Also, more than 60 bishops are expected together with a great number of priests, theologians and lay members.

The eight caridnals that will travel to Selucia in the following days.

Today the 1st aircraft carrier strike group, 1 of the 2 Carrier Strike Group in Egelion, had been relaunched by Capitán General Jaime Muñoz yesterday after ENS-Demar Solad aircraft carrier of the 1st strike group had just been relaunched from being deactivated because of budget cuts in the past. Today Capitán de Navío of the ENS-Demar Solad, Cosme Caballero stated that they had strick orders from Naval Command (Comando Naval) to head for Majatra where we will patrol the outer region of majatra and to not enter the coastal lines of the many countries in Majatra. He stated that the 1st Carrier Strike Group will be positioned at the outer regions of Majatra to monitor the waters since the continent had just come out from a serious war. Capitán de Navío, Caballero also stated that the Strike Group will be stationed there until they are told to return to the Francois Rey Naval Station in Ghadash. The Strike group will monitor any form of Naval Action by all Nations in Majatra and relay the information back to Naval Command. When asked how many ships the strike group might contain officials stated that, that form of information was highly classified. The Strike Group was finally told to not do any form of air patrols since Naval Command did not want to trigger any form of trouble in terms of Egelion Fighter jets flying in other nation's air spaces. The 2nd Carrier Strike Group will remain in Egelion as the ship is being refitted with anti-aircraft guns.

EGELBURGO HERALD

Rey of Egelion Carlos I and his wife,Reina of Egelion Maria I
6th March 3816

Today Rey of Egelion, Carlos de Montalivet y Nueva-Formoselle, heard on the local radio that the Principality of Vanuku was pushing for republicanism. Rey Carlos de Montalivet y Nueva-Formoselle stated that he was very happy to hear that the nation was going to under-go a huge change that could possibly open doors to much wider opportunities in terra. The Rey stated that it was the right choice of the former Khagne of Vanuku to demolish the old Vanukan system of governance to implement a new one. He stated that he hoped that Prime Minister Alejandra Crescencia would have spoken with the Governor-General of the "New and Improved" Vanuku so that we can reopen foreign relations with the nation. As a gift to the Governor-General, Rey Carlos de Montalivet y Nueva-Formoselle sent several dancers to Vanuku to dance at the swearing in ceremony of the Vanukan Governor-General. Rey Carlos de Montalivet y Nueva-Formoselle was so ever whelmed by the news he asked Minister of Finance, Javier Leonardo to propose a taxation statement that will pullEgelion out of our economic depression so that we may not fall into recession like some other terran nations have done in the past. The Minister of Finance will come to the Cortes Generales tomorrow to propose a statement and pushing for the taxation bill to be implemented to the public.

History of the Refoundation of the Kingdom of Egelion

The year of our Lord 3765 marked the glorious restoration of the Kingdom of Egelion under the guidance of His Royal Majesty Juan Felipe de Montalivet y Nueva-Formoselle. This event saw the death of the politically unstable socialist and parliamentarian Republic of Egelion, that was headed by the weak Elio Banderas of the Partido Democratico Constitutional. As President, the Hon. Banderas never knew when to be firm in his decisions and his administration saw very few reforms. Juan Felipe was a bright young man that rose to the political stage for his involvement in federal lawmaking and his career as a jurist. He was well respected by the intellectuals and the working middle class who, in a political rally in 3764 made him the head of what would become the Partido Monarquico. Amidst the deep economic crisis and the bankruptcy of the central Bank, he won virtually unopposed and was nominated King in 3765. Immediately his government reformed the budget and mad either government smaller, modified environmental laws and military laws. These two gave him the support of the military and the commercial sectors of the economy. Finally, a major reform was that of the Church, with the reformation of the Selucian Patriarchal Church in Egelion in 3767. He gave it freedom and independence form the state, that made the Church more pure and with a greater impact in the population. Since then, the Church always was a big supporter of the Monarchy. As a coronation of his brilliant political operations, the country was renamed Reino de Egalion in 3767.

The Monarchy gave guidance and unity to the Nation, while preserving democracy and free speech; this made king Juan Felipe much beloved throughout the nation over his long reign. Yet, republican sentiment did not die and it arose strongly during his tenure. A major change in the life of the Kingdom happened in 3785 when three parties other than the Partido Monarquico: the Partido Liberal Republicano, that represented the republican and anti-clerical sentiment, the Selucian Union, that represented the right wing conservatives, and the short lived Alianza Roja. The 3785 elections for the Cortes were still won by an overwhelming majority of the Partido Monarquico, but they planted the seed of discontent. Both the PRL and the SU attacked the PM, the first because of its conservative and clerical aspects, the second for its liberal reforms. The SU generally fllowed the PM in its conservative and moralistic stance against the PRL. In May 3791 the Partido Liberal Republicano took the majority of seats (65%) in the Cortes Generales by consolidating the progressive and liberal vote. In Caille, a progressive and independent province traditionally opposed to the Selucian Church, the PRL obtained almost every vote and 16 seats on 16. The only province with a PM majority was Eder Gira, where there was a strong sentiment for the Monarchy.

The conservative vote instead was split between the PM and the SU, with the latter being the more conservative. What followed this election became the cause for the downfall of the Monarchy. The PRL had an overwhelming majority of votes, but not 2/3. In order to obtain those it formed an alliance with the SU on capitalistic basis. Although the PM was for free trade, it still maintained the idea of some government control, that both PRL and SU wanted to relinquish completely. the PRL gave up its anti-religious stance as a compromise and before the PM knew it, the PRL and SU formed a coalition that reinstated the Republic. The new cabinet was split between the two parties and the two parties deeply reformed the republican institutions. This political alliance was seen as a betrayal by the PM, that until then had considered the Selucian Union its ally. Although it was hailed as a political success by the PRL, the next elections in 3793 instead showed a very different picture. All three parties received about the same number of votes; the SU had gained a lot while the PRL lost many and the PM stayed unaltered. This was probably seen as the voters of PRL saw the union with the SU as a betrayal. Interestingly, Juan Felipe was reelected as President, because the majority of SU voters preferred him in the second round to the anti-clerical and republican Jose Miguel Arias. After this election, the PRL changed strategy and collided with the SU on key topics as civil rights and morality, where the SU sided with the conservative PM. Yet, the PM was still without a strong guidance since Juan Felipe dedicated himself to the government.

Image

The 3795 election were a huge upset for the nation: Jose Arias won the presidential election with 52% of votes. These SU almost dissipated, since conservatives had understood how negative the SU's choices had been for the Church and morality. For the first time since 3764, Juan Felipe was not in charge. Many witnesses report that this affected him deeply, and that for many weeks he fell into depression, considering this event the failure of his mission. Yet, he re-found his strength and lead the PM in the next two years, and under his leadership the tensions between RLP and PM calmed down, and many bilateral free market laws were passed. The comparison between this strong character and the feeble and indecisive Carlos Domingo was striking, and the elections of 3797 gave the presidency one again to Juan Felipe. The PM also went very close to reaching the number of seats of the PRL. The SU maintained its niche of conservative electorate, but in 3798 the party disassembled and most of its voters went into the PM, that caused the 3799 elections to be won by the PM with a 55% of votes. This majority was significant but not strong enough to reestablish the Monarchy. In 3801 Juan Felipe lost the presidency for a meager 1019 votes(out of more than 50 million voters), but he readily regained it in 3803, when elections confirmed the PM's majority that ended up in with 60% of the seats in the Cortes.
After this major success, Juan Felipe shocked the Nation and the international community by declaring his retirement and his abdication as head of the House of Montalivet y Nueva-Formoselle in favor of his son Carlos Domingo.

A large parade accompanied the King to his last session in front of the Cortes and many foreign representatives came to assist. After he resigned, Juan Felipe retired himself to the royal villa of Henarejos in southern Amateria. A huge celebration was held in Demar in honor of he who the majority of the population still refereed to as "King". The keys of Egelion were now in the hand of his first born son, Carlos Domingo.
