Chancellor nominates technocrats as ministers

Chancellor Pedro da Silva held an extraordinary government meeting today together with leaders of the main parties of the Civic Front and discussed the future of the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Development, Planning and Investments. The three ministries have been left vacant for two months since the three ministries have been accused of traffic of influence after they chose the bid of the National Road Company to build the A7 Highway between Seixal and Setubal, without calling for bids from private companies, both local and foreign ones, even if the law officially called for it. The three, Dias, Fonseca and Marciel have also been members of the inner circle of the Parido Azul and of the reactionary wing of the Civic Front. Some members of the Partido Azul have even went as far as declaring the dismissals a palace coup of the moderate and reformist factions from inside the Front and a way for Chancellor da Silva to put his supporters in the government.

The new ministries nominated by the Chancellor are Rubinho Corte-Real as Minister of Economy, Joel Benzacar as Minister of Commerce and Antonio Lobo as Minister of Development, Planning and Investments. The Altri Corporation, a powerful Jewish owned conglomerate with subsidiaries in Beira, Pelasgia and Trivodnia has congratulated the government of the nominations, declaring that the presence of the corporation's ex-Chairman, Joel Benzacar can bring back the economic boom of the days of Chancellor Paulo Perahia.

The three are no members of the Civic Front and neither members of the parliament, Chancellor Pedro da Silva declaring that the economy is a sector too important and too fragile to be given to politicians that may disturb it for ideological reasons that may or may not be feasible. The three have been nominated after winning a contest organized by the government in regards to new development plans for Beira. They competed together with a project called "Direzao: Tigres Himyaros".

The system envisioned by the three economists implies a system of state-sponsored capitalism. They proposed to end the full state planned economy in the inland regions and to universalize the mixed economy present in the coastal regions. When leaving the state owned corporations compete with privately owned ones, the market obliges them to be productive, if they they would fail. The program also calls for state interventions, but the interventions are represented by state investment in economic sectors that start to run slow to stimulate the growth of new industries in the private sector. The plural in the program's name has been given by Joel Benzacar, who called for closer economical cooperation between [MENTION=295]Andaluz[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1774]Pelasgia[/MENTION] ,stating that the three nations have great potential in becoming world economic leaders in time.

To whom it may concern,

The Pelasgian Empire would be more than interested in economic cooperation with its neighbours to the west. It has long been our desire to link our countries via the means of trade, as evidenced by the large-scale infrastructure and modernisation projects Pelasgian firms and contractors have been contracted to see through for the Royal Government of Andaluz. A more free and beneficial state of trade and investment between our three state would be mutually beneficial and we would thus not hesitate to invite representatives of the honourable government of the Social Republic to such a dialogue.

10 Border crossings reopened after more than 30 years of closure

In an emergency ordinance issued yesterday, Chancellor Pedro da Silva decided on the opening of ten border crossings six on the border with Andaluz and four on the border with Pelasgia. The crossings were closed in the aftermath of the communist emergency by the early military regime as a way to create the civic state without any foreign interference. At that moment, Beira's borders were completely closed to it's neighbors. After the death of General Alfredo Rocha, the Civic Front was created and Beira returned to normal under the tenures of Daniel Cabral and Paulo Perahia as Chancellors, as they reopened the borders and the society itself bringing the economical crisis to an end and returned the country to prosperity. The last border crossings kept closed have been described as being "critical", as they were situated in the southern regions, from where it was easy to infiltrate the country thanks to the hard terrain that makes patrolling the border nearly impossible.

"We believe that the days in which our state was under an existential threat are long gone and it is our duty to return the country back to normal. The state of siege and emergency that defined the need to close the borders is no longer and today, in the mid years of the 20th century, what defines a healthy society is prosperity and civism, not blind nationalism. Our duty is to make the Beirans prosper and for that we need to reopen all the points through which trade flown in and out of the country in our Golden Age of the early 1900s. We have passed the era in which we needed to build walls and have entered the era in which we need to build bridges. While generals and dictators allover this country were telling us all that the country is saved from communism, they were killing border communities in the states of Mira and Santana, which were dependent on the open borders with the Empire of Pelasgia and the Andal Commonwealth, thanks to the near impassable terrain that we have inland. Some of those communities are easier to reach from outside the country than from inside and I feel that we, as a civic state, have betrayed them. But now, they will revive as we see Beira flourish again and becoming again a trade hub along the Long Sea," declared Chancellor Pedro da Silva.

The border crossing opened are: Balombo, Bibala, Caxito, Vila Serpa, Serpa Pinto and Barreiras on the Andal border and Matola, Zavala, Manica and Vila Peri on the Pelasgian border.

National Assembly votes for the decriminalization of adultery and divorce

Under pressure from the Alliance for Personal Liberties, an organization headed by the current Vice-Chancellor Eliza da Silva, the wife of Chancellor Pedro da Silva, the National Assembly voted in support of the decriminalization of adultery and divorce. The APL has been created at the beginning of the 50s to defend women's rights and personal liberties in face of the ultra-conservative and religiously influenced civil code created at the beginning of the Civic Process and thus the Social Republic. Up until today, the APL organized campaigns against domestic abuse which had mixed success and campaigns meant to support women's education and emancipation. The latter have been more successful thanks to the changing nature of the economy and the continuous need for better educated cadres in corporations.

The organization has started to become more prominent after Eliza da Silva, the chairwoman of the alliance has been elected two years ago Vice Chancellor, being elected with a platform supporting the defense of personal liberties, which have since been called "Bedroom Freedoms" and promises of modernization of the civil code. While controversial, the campaigns of Eliza da Silva for a more liberal Social Republic have been received with open arms by The Radical Party, the United People's Party and the Labour Party, representing the reformist wing of the Civic Front, while The Blue Party, representing the conservative wing of the Front has condemned the existence and the goals of the APL. The moderate National Democratic Party has abstained from commenting and adopted a peculiar policy of pretending the organization doesn't exist.

On the day before the vote, Eliza da Silva has been a member of the Blue Party, as she campaigned on the same lists as her husband. This has may be the best example on how complicated Beiran politics are, commented political analysts. Relations between the Blue Party central committee and the da Silva spouses are now reaching extreme lows. Both of them were voted as joint presidents of the Blue Party and in the 7 years Pedro da Silva has been Chancellor he respected the political guidelines for only the first two years of his tenure and then started moving towards the reformist camp, an action that has turned many older members of the Blue Party against him. He has even openly talked about the end of the Civic Process, for which he was strongly criticized and even threatened by the conservatives with a motion of no confidence. His wife, went even farther, playing her role until she was elected and then she made a U-turn to become one of the most liberal politicians in Beira since the beginning of the Civic Process. The Blue Party closed their eyes, hoping to see that she will bring support for them from the Radicals and from the youth, but as it turned out, the Radical Party was still growing and was even inviting Eliza da Silva into their party, Octavio Castro, the General Secretary of the Radical Party even describing her of having a radical heart and an anti-civic soul. When it became clear with the legalization of adultery and divorce that the Blue Party would start to lose support from their conservative voters they voted to exclude her from the Party.

The vote to reform the civil code still went on, even if Eliza da Silva is now independent and from the looks of it a future member of the Radical Party, the progressive and moderate factions of the Civic Front have supported the change. Even if it dominated the parliament, the Blue Party showed that it lacked party discipline with some of it's members voting for the changes. Prior to the vote, divorce was illegal and adultery was punishable with up to six months in jail.

Tensions rise as strike continues and the Radicals threaten to join

After a first round of negotiations, the miners from the National Corporation of Coal Extraction are continuing their strike. The crisis deepens as the National Corporation of Precious Metals Extraction, The NC of Shipbuilders and the Seixal Banking Corporation have joined the strike. After a first round of negotiation, the strikers, led by Jaime Câmara have remained intransigent and continued to demand the end of the Social Republic and of the Civic Process and a return to a democratic state.

Chancellor Pedro da Silva has met with Jaime Câmara and have discussed about a potential end of the strike, with the Chancellor using argument that have been called clichés by the strikers, as he stated again that the Civic Process will end only when the looming threat of communism will disappear from Beira and Himyar. In response Câmara has stated that the threat has passed more than twenty years ago and that the real threat isn't represented "by the reds, but by the blues". Câmara declared that unless their demands will be met, they will not return to work.

The National Board of Corporations had also issued a statement in which surprisingly it has not condemned the strike itself, but the fact that the Corporation has decided to go on strike by itself, without a preliminary vote in the National Board. Even so, the NC of Shipbuilders and the Seixal Banking Corporation have also decided to go on strike, with the same demands as the coal miners.

As Chancellor Pedro da Silva still calls for calm, the Partido Radical, led by the newly elected Chairwoman Eliza da Silva, has started to threaten the Partido Azul, the Blue Party, that is they will start using violence against the strikers, the party will leave the Civic Front and will begin to provide support for the strikers and become the biggest dissident in the country, calling for a direct dissolution of the Social Republic.

The Blue Party on the other hand has tempered it's rhetoric, Samuel Torres declaring in the Parliament that the party trusts the leadership of Chancellor Pedro da Silva, as he has led Beira to a period of prosperity and stability in the last 7 years, up until this crisis. He stated in a speech in the Parliament that The Partido Azul still believes that the Social Republic is the only way Beira can go on and will continue to lobby for the end of the strike and the keeping of the current political status quo.

To show that there are still supporters of the Republic, The NC of Telecommunications has organized a demonstration in support of the regime in Vila Flor, with more than 15,000 attending. There have been no incidents at the march.

The Civic Front organizes extraordinary congress

The crises deepens as the strikers find more and more support both from the authorities and from the civil society. As a reaction to the demonstration organized by the Corporation of Telecommunication in support for the Social Republic, there have been protests against the Civic Process organized in the main cities in each of the states in the country. The Guarda de Assalto declared that the first estimation of 15,000 demonstrating in Vila Flor for the support of the Social Republic have been artificially inflated and in reality there have been no more than 5,000 participants. The counter-demonstrations, first organized in Ribamar brought on the streets more than 300,000 people and were followed by demonstrations in the regional capitals which brought in total more than 1,500,000 people protesting against the Civic Process.

In the wake of such mass demonstrations, never seen since the infamous crises of the 1920s, Chancellor Pedro da Silva held a speech in from the terrace of the Casa Verde, the Chancellery, in front of the crowds gathered. The speech was broadcast live by RBI and inflamed the spirits even more, as more and more people joined the protesters.

"It is clear now, that the situation is changing and what was deemed as safe and secure yesterday, today becomes obsolete. Generations change, mentalities change, the people change, but currently the main problem is that the authorities don't manage to keep up with all the changes. I have said it when I was nominated Chancellor by the Civic Front: «The Civic Process will end in the next decade» and here we are, seven years later and we are numbering the last days of the Social Republic. The people has spoken and the winds of change are blowing stronger and stronger. The days of dictatorships all over the world are being numbered and their end is approaching, as from now on, I declare that the Civic Process is over and the Social Republic is disbanded," declared Chancellor Pedro da Silva in his speech.

Immediately after, the Chancellor, supported by Partido Radical, called an extraordinary congress in which it will discuss the official end of the Social Republic and the Civic Process. The Partido do Povo Unido, Partido Trabalhista and Partido Nacional Democrata have declared that they will participate and will support a return to democracy and an end of the Civic Process.

When the proposal for the Congress was first put up, the Partido Azul didn't respond at first, but during the night, a moderate group of more than 35 MPs declared that if the party doesn't reform to prepare for the Beira of tomorrow they will desert the party and join the Partido Radical. As a response, Samuel Torres declared that the party will attend the congress and he will let each attending member to vote according to his conscience, even if he will support and ask his supporters to vote for keeping the Social Republic.

There have been rumors that the Congress will go forward as the alliance between the Partido Azul and the military has been broken. That might be why the party would accept negotiations, compromise and eventually an end of the Civic Process, as a new generation of officers are leading the army and they have no links to the generation that organized the 1920s coup d'etat. Commenting in regards to this, General Rodrigo dos Santos declared that "the role of the military is to defend the country from external threats, not to intervene in internal politics. My predecessors have violated their oath to keep Beira safe by organizing a coup d'etat. This was a one time mistake that I will go anything humanly possible not to see it repeat itself."

Currently all but the Partido Azul are supporting the end of the Civic Process, with a first poll stating that the result of the congress will see a 75% support for the end of the Social Republic.

Congress votes to end the Civic Process

The congress called for the vote regarding the continuation of the Civic Process has been officially ended Wednesday the 18th of October at noon with the main vote. More than 80% of the participants have voted for the end of the Social Republic and the return of the previous statute of the Beiran State, and recreating the Confederacy and the democratic state that was destroyed by the 1927 Coup d'etat by General Alfredo Rocha.

In the vote, the Radical Party was the first to vote and alongside the Partido do Povo Unido and Partido Trabalhista has offered a unanimous vote to end the Civic Process. The Partido Nacional Democrata and the Partido Azul had mixed voting, three representatives out of the fifty from the Partido Nacional Democrata have voted for keeping the Social Republic, while the rest have voted to return to democracy. The Partido Azul has offered a big surprise. Out of it's 300 participants, only 137 have voted to keep the Civic Process, while 163 have voted to end it.

Thus, out of the 700 participants at the congress, only 140 have voted to keep the regime while the rest have voted to return to democracy. The congress has discussed the future of the country and it has been decided to keep the 1914 constitution but declare all amendments that legalized the Civic-Military dictatorship null and void and the Constitutional Court will start an investigation, analyzing all laws and decrees that were given during the 30 years of Civic Process to see if they are compatible or not with the original 1914 constitution. If not, they will be declared null and void.

The congress also decided that the government will remain in power, led by Chancellor Pedro da Silva but it will be transformed into a government of national unity, supported by all parties in the parliament, until elections will be organized. To avoid all kinds of possible authoritarian relapses, the congress also decided not to accuse high echelon leaders of the social republic of high betrayal.. As it was called, the Law on the Expiration of the Punitive Claims of the State grants an amnesty on all leaders of the social republic, from the first military leaders, which organized the coup d'etat in 1927 under general Rocha, till the last government of the last Chancellor of the republic, Pedro da Silva.

People on the streets have celebrated the end of the Social Republic, singing A Beiresa, the anthem of the Confederacy, from 1855 until 1927, when the Social Republic was proclaimed.

"We have managed to accomplish what we have promised the people seven years ago. Democratically, without any kind of violence, without the use of weapons and without rioting, we managed to end the three decades long dictatorship and have recreated the Confederacy that showed the world that the Midday Tiburans can create a functional system of government, similar to the old Tiburans of old. We are now returning to the clear path of democracy and prosperity that we have built since the revolution of 1855, without the threat of communism," declared Chancellor Pedro da Silva.

"The Blue Party was the main supporter of continuing the dictatorship. As much as the Social Republic was a temporary solution to the crisis of the 1920s, many in this party tried to make it a permanent solution for the state's organization. Many of those, who have enjoyed the authoritarian elements of the system in it's quest to drive out the communists from Beira will not be seen with keen eyes in the new party that we want to create in this second take on the Confederacy. We will recreate the party and it will be cleansed of it's authoritarian elements and it will be a modern conservative party: a center-right democratic, socially conservative party with a profound respect for private property and the corporatist economic system," declared Danilo Pinto, Vice-Chairman of the Blue Party.

Miners end strike and return to work

The officials of the National Corporation of Coal Extraction have declared that they will begin work on Monday as their goal has been reached as the Social Republic has been disbanded and replaced by the democratic Confederacy. The coal miners have been on strike for two weeks and they have been joined by around 60% of all workers in Beira, marking the biggest strike in the history of the country, with more than 5 million strikers. The event has been the final nail on the coffin of the civic-military dictatorship, as during the congress, the Blue Party understood that this time there is no chance another military coup like the one in 1927 would succeed and they decided to follow the rest of the parties and accepted the dissolution of the Social Republic.

Chancellor Pedro da Silva has met with the main leader of the strikers, Jaime Câmara, who in the first day of the new confederation has managed to gain the approval of the Vila Flor Tribunal and created the National Miners' Union, the first functioning trade union in the country since the coup, and in a ceremony at the Casa Verde, has awarded Câmara with the most important Beiran decoration, Estrela do Sul, the Star of the South.

"Our mission here has been a success. We managed to work together and liberated Beira from the dictatorship. Even so, I must be clear and we, the coal miners will remain vigilant and should the government start abusing it's powers again, we will be ready to stand in solidarity with each other and fight together to keep Beira free and democratic. We aren't communists, socialists, corporatists, fascists or liberals. We don't have a political color. We only want Beira to be free. Democracy is the most important element of a functioning and civilized society and we are ready to keep what we have fought for," declared Jaime Câmara.

The Holy Land Organization militates for full state right

The Holy Land Organization, a Jewish association that militated for autonomy at the beginning of the century has been a supporter of the Civic Front and the Social Republic after Chancellor Paulo Perahia created the Jewish Autonomous Region in 1937.

The leader of the organization, Amadio Moshon has called the government to give full state rights to the Jewish Autonomous Region. Until now, the region has the rights to it's own budget and schools in the region teach both in Beiran and Judaeo-Tiburan, but the organization asks for the creation of a local parliament and government as in the other ten confederated states. This also mean that the directorate would be enlarged to 11 members, should the administrative change take place.

The Holy Land Organization has started circulating petitions for the reform and wish to gather 500,000 signatures for the issue to reach the Assembly and be decided upon. The Organization also wishes to also expand the autonomy of the Holy Land inside the Pelasgian Empire and to restart the debate regarding the status of the Holy Land, after the main faculty of thought that dominated the Jewish circles were the non-Zionist ones perpetrating from the Free State of Trivodnia.

Seashell portrait of Jesus
Members of the All-Beiran Catholic Scouts, the biggest scouting association in the Confederation have started the creation of a seashell portrait of Jesus Christ. They took the example of the Kashtanese seashell portrait of the 'Father of the Nation' and wish to create a bigger one. It is the biggest project of the association, with more than 700 volunteers going now around the Beiran coasts of the Long Sea to build a 21 by 10 meters portrait showing a portrait of Jesus from one of the most famous images of Catholic iconography, with Jesus and the Sacred Heart.

The construction of the portrait comes after a series of anti-catholic articles are emerging from the Frontier Lands, after the arrest of an Eiffellandian citizen. The Scouting Association builds the monument to show that in the current world, in which Christianity is attacked both in the East, from Kashtan and Ostrovakia and in the West, from Engellex, there are still bastions which are ready to defend the faithful.

Survey shows powerful support for the Blue Party
A survey organized by Pesquisa, the National Survey Agency has shown that the people of Beira are still greatly supporting the Blue Party. The party has been the main pillar of power during the days of the Social Republic and has been the backbone that has kept the Civic Front together in face of any kind of relapse back into a military dictatorship. Though it has been considered in the last months by many to be the sole supporter of the Civic Process, an image created by Eliza da Silva and the Radical Party as they campaigned for the end of the Social Republic.

Even so, it has been seen that the majority of the population of Beira are still very religious and conservative and the liberal and progressive turn the Radical Party has taken in the last year might be a problem for them. Their support has rose in the face of their opposition to the dictatorship, but now that this target has been achieved, it is believed that their support will dissipate before the next elections.

"Seeing that the progressive ideology of Eliza da Silva has been adopted by the Radical Party, we might see a growth of their support in the northern coast and in the main cities of the Confederation, but with this, the party literally surrendered the rural regions to the Blue Parties. As much as there are some which would like to see Beira as progressive as Eiffelland, the Beirans are religious and conservative. At least for now, if the Radical Party doesn't use some it's liberalism with some moderation, it may lose more than it stood to win by facing the potential oppression coming from the Civic Process. Compared to them, the Blue Party, under the acting leadership of Danilo Pinto, has managed to win some support even from the anti-Civic campaigners, as it is now seen as a wise leader who knew how and when to stop, as he accepted the vote of the congress and the peaceful end of the Social Republic," declared Paulo Santana, researcher at Pesquisa.

Traffic accident leads to lynching of a Tiburan priest in Tafilaet

A Tiburan priest has been lynched by a mob today in Tafilaet as he tried to defend his parish church in face of heathens and infidels. Everything seemed to have started after a man has lost control of his car, hitting a group of students leaving school. Two students have suffered a concussion and have quickly received first aid, but revolted bystanders have tried to take revenge on the driver for hurting the children. As he managed to escape, the driver ran into a local church to find shelter from the attackers, as he called the police.

The mob stormed the church and lynched the Tiburan priest which tried to calm down the people before the Guarda de Assalto managed to arrive and disperse the people. From the first information on the ground, the bystanders, mostly Urudoahs were revolted by the fact that the driver, an ethnic Beiran didn't even looked at the children he hit and tried to ran away. Some have described the scene chaotic, some saying that the driver trying to run, while others saying that he got off the car to give first aid to the children.

By the time the driver managed to escape into the church, the whole scene turned into a riot as the mob wanted to take revenge and started chanting anti-Confederate and anti-Beiran slogans. As they surrounded the church, the priest tried to calm them down, but he was beaten to death by the mob. The driver was saved only by the arrival of the Guarda da Assalto, which after a short fight managed to disperse the Urudoahs.

"This action, planned or not has clearly been an anti-Beiran and an anti-Tiburan one. Probably fueled by the anti-Tiburan propaganda from Engellex and from the Frontier Lands, the people here have resorted to violence even if everything was under control. It was a traffic accident and the driver got off the car to try to give first aid to the victims. What followed clearly shows us that the Tafilaet Autonomous Region isn't ready to be given confederate status as from what it seemed those people preferred to ignore the needs of the victims just for the chance to spill some blood. In doing go, they even delayed the aid coming from the ambulances as they were ordered to stay clear until the Guarda da Assalto would clear the zone. We have arrested five people whom we consider the main agitators and we have started an investigation. We are still excluding a theory of anti-Beiran organizations conspiring against the Church and the Confederation but we wish to keep the country stable and safe," declared the Commandant of the Tafilaet Guarda da Assalto, Ruy Vidal.

A break from the dictatorship or a break from the Church

The first two days after the decision of the Constitutional Court to declare the Expiry Law null and void have gone by in complete silence from the political sphere. Some analysts have called it the calm before the storm. And today it seems that the storm has arrived, hitting the Beiran society starting from the Confederate Assembly.

In the Assembly session of today, Eliza da Silva, the chairwoman of the Radical Party has held a speech calling for the trials of the members of the repressive apparatus of the regime. Though her position was expected, as her Party was seen as the greatest anti-Civic organization during the last days of the Social Republic, she went even further by also calling in a vote in the Assembly to strip all members of the assembly accused by the Tribunals for conspiring with the regime against the people of Beira of the immunity so the trials can start.

Her speech was received with a shock as she continued it declaring that in the light of the events unraveling in the world, namely the support the dictatorship and the continuing rise of radical Tiburanism threatening everything that has been achieved since the renaissance, Eliza da Silva called in her speech the signing of a new Concordat between the Holy See of Tibur and the Confederation of Beira and with it the creation of a national Beiran Tiburan Church.

The response to her speech came from Danilo Pinto, the Vice-Chairman of the Blue Party. In his response, he agreed that the trials must begin, so that the society can be cleansed of the remnants of the dictatorship, even going as far as asking his supporters to also vote for the end of the immunity. But he condemned and rejected the idea of creating a national church, as he declared that in this time of need and in which Tiburans all over the world are persecuted for the actions of fanatical terrorists, many of them being lone wolves, the Church must be united, not having to suffer yet another schism.

His speech was followed by booing from the reactionary members of the Blue Party, some of those even continuing to state that the end of the Civic Process was a mistake and deemed both Danilo Pinto and especially Eliza da Silva betrayers of both the state and the church. As a response, both leaders of the major parties have agreed that the remnants of the Civic Process must disappear from the political scene and have thus promised to dismiss from their parties all members that have been discovered to have links to the PDE, the secret police of the regime and who have been strongly in support of continuing the dictatorship and "restoring order" through gun violence. The calls for the creation of a national Beiran church have been fueled by the fact that the regime was sponsored and supported by the Holy See.

Scandals start as the PDE archives are unsealed

The PDE archives have been unsealed today and the Ribamar Tribunal has started analyzing the first batch of documents, regarding the relationship of the regime with the Southern Constituent Republics of Engellex. The Tribunal has published a report in which it showed a series of transactions in which in 1977, under the signature of Chancellor Augusto Perahia, 55 Urudoah and 70 Lunda people were traded on the Engellexic Human Commodity System.

The members of the Tribunal called in Francisco Coelho, Almir Salgado and Marciano Alcantara, all of them state secretaries during those years to give more information in regards to the transactions and the relations of the Social Republic with the Engellexic Human Commodities System.

With this, the government has officially condemned the First Republic for the existence of the Human Commodities System and declares that Beira is an open nation to people seeking political asylum trying to escape the inhumane Engellexic system.

"We will not accept the existence of a Beira that will support those obnoxious policies. Our society has been tainted by the Civic regime and we will begin an operation to cleanse our nation of the rotting remains of a dictatorship which has plotted for nearly 50 years to dehumanize the peoples of Beira while selling them stories about the virtue of our faith and church. We will not accept this kind of hypocrisy in our confederation," stated Chancellor Pedro da Silva.

Partido Azul MPs propose law to postpone dictatorship investigation

In today's meeting of the Confederate Assembly a number of reactionary members of the Partido Azul have proposed a law which postpones the investigations of the Ribamar Tribunal calling it a communist action to destabilize the republic by beheading it of it's most important members of the intelligentsia. The head of this group is Roberto Caetano, whom in more than one instance has attacked the more moderate leadership of the Partido Azul, namely Chairman Danilo Pinto because they supported a peaceful end of the Social Republic.

In his speech before the vote, Roberto Caetano called for the return of the Civic Process, nominating Gunnland and Arcadia as successful nations that Beira was close to but after a masonic conspiracy organized by atheists from Engellex and Ostrovakia, communists from Kadikistan and the Socialist Himyari Republic and democrats, especially from Kashtan, the only political system that could keep Beira safe was brought down. Caetano also promised that should he become head of the party and win the elections to become Chancellor he will personally take care of those he called traitors, without specifying what that meant.

The vote didn't bring any kind of surprise as only 25 members of the Assembly have voted in favor, to 375 voting against. The vote was also followed by a speech held by Eliza da Silva and then by another held by Danilo Pinto.

"We cannot let such brazen actions take place anymore. Right now, we just saw an attempt of the remnant of the Civic Process to return us to the days of the dictatorship. That is why I promise to the people of Beira that they must and will not live in fear of such actions. Our society must be purged of authoritarian elements. This is not only what I want, but what also the Blues and the others and the people itself wants. This is why we are now in the Grand Compromise, to have all the parties form a united front against any kind of elements that wish to bring us back into the days of the Social Republic. That is why, I wish to create an institution specialized in investigating the crimes and abuses of the dictatorship, provided that the Radical Party will form the government after the elections," declared Eliza da Silva.

"It is sad to see that the Blue Party still has some many members that are ready to recreate a dictatorship that lasted nearly for a century. We cannot let this happen again. I ask our more conservative members to refrain from destroying all that we have built in the last years and return to what the Blue Party meant, a more reserved stance in front of liberalism, secularism and consumerism. This doesn't mean that we must openly support or become nostalgic of a regime that used political violence as a way of keeping itself alive," declared Danilo Pinto.

Main prosecutors dismissed. Protests ensue

The scandals regarding the post-dictatorship trials continue as the legislative commission created to supervise the trials has just dismissed the main prosecutors from the Ribamar Tribunal. The commission, named the "Assembly Commission for the Supervision of the Trials Regarding the Human Rights Abuses of the Civic Process" is made of 5 members of the Partido Azul, 3 members of the Partido Radical, and two more members, one coming from the Partido do Povo Unido and another from Partido de Trabalhadores. The commission didn't publish it's motivation nor the results of the voting that decided the dismissal of the prosecutors.

This will seriously lag the proceedings of the trials, if not put them on hold indefinitely. This will be a great victory for the so-called "Democratized Dictators", a name given by Beiran yellow press for the high ranking authorities of the Civic Front that have called for the end of the regime, sensing it's doom and now presenting themselves as heroes of Beiran democracy. The trails have started after the Constitutional Court decided that the expiry law that functioned as an amnesty for the members of the repressive apparatus of the regime is unconstitutional and thus has been nullified. The dismissal comes after the Partido Azul tried to stop the trials in the Assembly by proposing a law that not only ended the trials, but even called for the return of the Social Republic. Some political analysts have speculated on the fact that should the proposed law would have just asked for a new expiry law, it would have passed in the Assembly, but the fact that it also called for the return of the Civic Process, brought many votes against it.

"This is shameful. The Blue Party is just showing us that they don't really care neither of being good Christians, as they so fervently shout, neither that do they care about the people of Beira. It is clear that when their legislative proposal was brought down they became desperate and have starting bribing their their way in the commission to end the trials as fast as possible. We do not yet know who voted for the dismissal, but should I find out that any member of the Radical Party has accepted bribe from the Blues and has voted against the continuation of the trials, he will be sacked from the party and I will personally file a complaint for bribery to the police. This is why I call all the people of Beira to open their eyes and see the Blues for what they truly are and understand that the only way to go forward is to go with the Radical Party!" stated Eliza da Silva in a speech she held in front of the crowds amassed in the Gonçalo Garcia Square in Vila Flor.

In the aftermath of the first news of the dismissal and the stand by of the trials, more than 5,000 people took to the streets in Vila Flor to protest against the intrusion in the works of the Ribamar Tribunal. Danilo Pinto has refused to comment on the matter.

The World's Drug Problem. Episode 1

The world in which we used to grow up has changed for the worse. The streets in which parents let their children play have been transformed and now are full of vice and narcotics. Tempos de Ribamar has started a journalistic investigation regarding the drug trafficking coming both from the north and from Himyar to see what is the root of the problem and who are the actors and characters profiteering from the vices they perpetuate and who are the victims of all this business. While the National Republican Guard and the Border Guard are arrested in the last three months more than 30 smugglers coming from various ethnic groups trying to enter the Confederation from the borders in Cisnatalia and to distribute high risk drugs like opiates and cocaine.

While the world now watches towards the Independent Democratic Republic of Kashtan and it's showdown in the Long Sea with the beginning of it's so called "War on Drugs", the National Republican Guard of Beira is reporting that for each captured smuggler, at least two more manage to enter the country and continue it's route, either to Andalus and Pelasgia or even traversing the Long Sea towards Eiffelland, Serenierre and Bourgogne. While we have started to become used to the fact that Beira is a transit country thanks to it's lower purchasing power than Pelasgia and Andaluz, let alone Eiffelland or Bourgogne, and with this we are seeing in our streets only the scraps and remains from the others, in the north, the drug problem may have become a state policy.

Our journalists have received an anonymous mail coming from the Democratic Socialist Republic of Kadikistan. The said mail contain a video and a message explaining the images. The video was showing Kadikistani soldiers unloading civilian trucks with Kahtanese number plates of crates that then are loaded into Kadikistani army trucks. The letter is explaining us that opium and cocaine is brought from Kashtan and then transported cross-Kadikistan by the Revolutionary Army to the western borders where it is taken from there mostly by Krasnylavian cartels which smuggle it into Trivodnia, Eiffelland, Bourgogne, Geotri, Serenierre and even up to Gallega.

The informant said that the Kadikistani give in exchange money, weapons, ammo and spare parts to their Kashtanese counterparts for the drugs. We don't really know if the Kashtanese government itself is involved in this and thus the whole War on Drugs is nothing more than hypocritical rhetoric, or if there are non-governmental groups that specialized in illicit drug trade, mostly thanks to the secretive nature of the Democratic Independent Regime.

The information we received has also told us that mostly the Kadikistani are simply providing a service of transportation for the narco-cartels as many of them are bribed by them to offer their support. From this whole regions in Kadikistan have been developed, with real local barons living a prince's life only from the money receiving from the cartels to keep the narcotics flow over to the west. This really makes them go in opposition with the cult of labour their ideology has and also makes them live the bourgeois life the Kadikistanii despise so much. Even soe it is sad to see the youth of the western world preferring to end their respectable lives and to anything, even to prostitute themselves for money to buy drugs, especially when, from the looks of it, they are funding the expansion of the villa of some Kadikistani or Kashtanese Party Secretary.
