His Majesty King Eumenes III Laskaris-Komnenos has received the President of @San Jose, His Excellency José David Constanza, in Propontis, the symbolic co-capital and largest city of the Kingdom of Pelasgia. Propontis was chosen as the location of the visit rather than the actual governing capital, Dhekelia, due to the great symbolism of the visit of El Presidente, as Mr. Constanza is affectionately known the world over, and to underscore the importance of the summit. [...] The meeting between the two leaders was likely brokered by the Prime Minister, Mr. Themistokles Angelopoulos, who hopes to collaborate with San Jose on matters of refugee redistribution and management, and to expand Pelasgian inroads into the Occidentian economy through trade and other economic agreements. Additionally, the great ceremony shown to Mr. Constanza is at probably least partly intended to offset the successful out-bidding of the Occidentian Republic's offer for exploitation of petroleum resources in @Corrientes, which was defeated by that of PelPetrol—the Pelasgian state petroleum monopoly. [...]

During the visit, Mr. Constanza will be hosted at the Great Palace of Propontis, the official residence of the Pelasgian monarch in the Queen of Cities and a place where few foreign leaders have ever been hosted due to its great symbolism for the Kingdom and the Orthodox world as a whole. El Presidente will be the first non-royal leader to ever be hosted at the Palace. [...] The stay will last for many days, and though security will keep the palace compound clear of the prying eyes of the paparazzi outside of carefully scheduled photo ops and public events, gossip already abounds in Propontis; it is widely known that Eumenes III, like all monarchs of the Attalid Dynasty, is somewhat of a playboy and thus well suited to share in the pleasures that Mr. Constanza is known for indulging in. [...] Officials for the Royal Household have denied that any "parties" have been planned in the Great Palace, noting that the King is expected to attend Sunday service normally and to take communion (leading to many online jokes about what disqualifies one from doing so). [...]

The visit is also of great relevance because on June 25 Pelasgians celebrate the Palinorthosis or "Restoration," when Propontis was officially annexed back into the Pelasgian Kingdom and Attalus the Great was ceremonially re-crowned there. It is Pelasgia's greatest national holiday and it is annually celebrated with a parade, which El Presidente is expected to attend alongside the King. [...] This year will mark the 99th Anniversary of the Palinorthosis.

Royal Gendarmerie to assist Carian counterpart in border security
Nikaia (Caria), 20 June 2023 | Menelaos Papadakis (Int'l Correspondent)

The Royal Pelasgian Gendarmerie will be deployed in certain sections of Carian border with Thrakia, Serbovia and the @Rheinbund, according to a joint statement by the Governments of the two countries. Pelasgian gendarmes will aid their counterparts from the Carian Despotic Politarchy in securing their country's frontiers from incursions by illegal immigrants and unauthorised asylum seekers, in light of ongoing and growing influxes of border-crossers due to the worsening geopolitical situation in Germania. [...] The official position of both countries is that Serbovia and Thrakia are safe countries, despite their recognition of many human rights abuses in both locations, and that any migrants seeking to enter or transit through Caria or Pelasgia must thus apply at the local consular authority of either country in Serbovia or Thrakia. [...]

The Despotate of Caria and the Kingdom of Pelasgia are brotherly nations with a common faith and language, though many Carians are Catholic and there are some cultural and linguistic differences between the two countries; nonetheless, the two states maintain a very close political, diplomatic, economic and military relationship. This relationship goes so far that the Crown Prince of Pelasgia is the mostly ceremonial monarch (or "Despot") of Caria by law, and the Pelasgian military guarantees the safety of Caria. Nevertheless, such an agreement is entirely unprecedented—something that points to the desperation of the situation for Caria. Previously, Pelasgia has aided its neighbour by agreeing to receive many of the refugees that entered Caria's borders, though a direct deployment of paramilitary gendarmes was avoided due to traditional hostile sentiment against a Pelasgian presence in Caria's deeply Catholic and nationalistic northern regions. Evidently, that sentiment has now changed. [...]

Pelasgia, Caria agree to financial aid package in return for state enterprise stakes
Dhekelia, 20 June 2023 | Kyriakos Panagiotopoulos

The Governments of Pelasgia and Caria have reached an agreement with regard to financial aid to prevent a Carian bankruptcy, according to statements made by the two nations' heads of government following talks in Dhekelia, the Pelasgian capital. [...] Messrs. Themistokles Angelopoulos and Demetrios Athanasiades of Pelasgia and Caria, respectively, took part in discussion nominally held under the auspices of the His Highness the Despot of Caria Attalus III Laskaris-Komnenos, so as to sound Caria's public finances ahead of a joint application by the two brotherly nations for membership in the Meridian Union. [...] Per the agreement, financing would be provided to Caria by Pelasgian financial institutions (including the partly government-owned National Bank of Pelasgia). In return for this financing, Nikaia would grant steaks in its state-owned entreprises to Pelasgian companies that are either affiliated with the lending institutions or that provide the funding thereto. This list notably includes infrastructure (such as Carian State Railways, which are to be mostly taken over by the Pelasgian state railway enterprise, OSPE) and the Carian telecom company ATIK (which is to be significantly acquired by P3T), but not any utilities or natural resources. [...]

In addition to these steps, Caria will be required to undertake certain measures to eliminate corruption and trim its public sector. [...] However, the plan is not as harsh as some expected, likely due to a wish by Mr. Angelopoulos to ensure that Mr. Athanasiades's party, the National Rally (ES), retains the popularity that led it to conquer recent Carian polls, as it has traditionally been more aligned with Pelasgia and is also ideologically closer to Mr. Angelopoulos's National Liberal Union (EEF).

REPUBLIC PROCLAIMED IN PROPONTIS - DHEKELIA, PATRIARCHATE LEGITIMISE NEW REGIME - CARIA, EUXENIA, PHILISTAEA ANNEXED​

On the morning of July 15, the roaring of every artillery and naval gun in the city sounded twenty-four times, signalling the end of nearly two thousand years of Propontine monarchy and the birth of the new Pelasgian Republic. The Despot of Caria, the heir to the Sublime Throne of Propontis (which lied unoccupied since the death of King Eumenes III Laskaris-Komnenos earlier this month), fled the city without managing to be crowned; he fled first to Dhekelia, the nation's political capital, where long-time Prime Minister Themistokles Angelopoulos blocked the Senate from acclaiming the Despot as King over political disagreements with regard to the role of the monarchy and foreign policy between the two men. However, as the head of government and the presumptive head of state bickered over politics, the proclamation of the Republic led military forces to be deployed into the streets of Dhekelia. Rather than siding with either man, the troops of the Dhekelia Army Garrison instead sided with the Republic, scarcely allowing the two men to flee the city in time to avoid an arrest. Mr. Angelopoulos fled to the @Rheinbund, while the Despot of Caria flew to his namesake fief. Each man was accompanied by loyalist confidants who had held high offices in the Kingdom. Alas, the new regime cared little for their titles, and as Dhekelia's nobility fled in droves, it became clear that the Republic was more than happy to allow them to vacate the premises, rather than being forced to deal with a class that had long played an outsized role in Pelasgian public life.

Eyes quickly turned to the Koinoboule, Pelasgia's bicameral legislature, where only barely enough parliamentarians and Senators remained for a quorum. Many of these lawmakers were affiliated with the legal, parliamentary fronts of the two outlawed parties that led the revolution in Evosmos and Propontis: the communist DKKP (which is represented in 'polite' politics through the hard-left faction of SEKP) and the far-right National Phalanx (which is represented by the LOK). The leaders of these parliamentary forces scrambled to draft a new Constitution that was not too different from the old, while nominally granting many of the demands of the parliamentary front-parties' watered down platforms. Chief among them Vice-Chairman Andronikos Stavrianos of SEKP, who hoped to turn Pelasgia into a social democratic parliamentary republic. Those hopes, however, were dashed by the military, whose occupation of the city turned into a proper regime once forces from Propontis arrived to link up with Dhekelia command. Under the supervision of armed troops and surrounded by tens of thousands of marchers and protestors, the Koinoboule voted a new, radical Constitution of Pelasgia into law. The new Pelasgian State is set to be a republic whose formal head of state shall be not an individual but a much altered Senate, which will now represent various segments of Pelasgian society. The Senate's President will serve as the Pelasgian Head of State, and he shall be appointed for an indefinite term on good behaviour. There will also be a Prime Minister and a Council of Ministers, though these will be accountable to the President of the Senate, rather than to the Boule.

Two other major breaks from Pelasgian constitutional tradition are being undertaken. Firstly, the Orthodox Church's role as a state religion will be altered; while Pelasgia will retain recognition of Orthodox Christianity as the national religion and certain privileges for the Church, its provision of public services and its role in politics will be eliminated, while provisions will also be made to allow the State to seize or heavily tax non-religious properties of the Church. Secondly, for the first time in centuries, an ideology other than Caesaropapism will be written into the Constitution formally. In this case, without reference to any one ideology, the document makes numerous agenda items of both the DKKP and the Phalangists into the country's highest law, including National Sovereignty, class interests, supremacy of national and state interest over various freedoms, rejection of foreign socio-cultural influences, strong state intervention in the economy (including ownership of its "commanding heights") and the promotion of a single national identity. The Constitution goes so far as to proclaim the annexation of Caria and Euxenia as autonomous regions of Pelasgia, calling it the "return" of the two countries to the national fold.

While widely celebrated by the impoverished working class in the nation's major cities and many rural areas, and while nominally solidifying the Faustian bargain struck between the DKKP and the Phalangists to kick the old liberal-conservative political establishment and elite out of power, it remains to be seen how the new regime will fare. Nonetheless, the face of Pelasgian tradition, the Orthodox Church has legitimised the new Republic by granting it its blessing through the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Propontis. Indeed, many lower clergy members took an active role in the large protests that spearheaded the uprising against the royalist authorities, with many higher clergymen, such as Metropolitan Laonicus of Evosmos, acting as mediators between old authorities and the uprisen people. Some consider this to be a pragmatic step by the Church in pursuit of a favourable concordat with the new civil power, while others see it as a genuine endorsement.

Alexios Leontopoulos named first President of the Senate, forms provisional government
Dhekelia, 15 July 2023 | Kyriakos Panagiotopoulos

Alexios Leontopoulos, a decorated staff officer in the Pelasgian Army, who has long been seen as an important voice of reformist sentiment within the military, has been named the first President of the Senate of Pelasgia, a position that automatically makes him the Head of State of the country. In a country with a long history of military interference in politics, the armed forces are seen as an almost legitimate additional ladder into positions of authority—as Mr. Leontopoulos' rise to power serves to showcase. [...] The new President had previously been seen as one of the main figures of the Reformist faction of the military, that had sought to displace hereditary elites and plutocratic interests from the top of society. Though Mr. Leontonopoulos' name had been linked to several foiled plots of junior officers, no charges had ever been levied, and his stellar record had allowed his rise all the way to an important logistical planning role in the General Staff (a position some considered was granted him to allow the top brass to monitor him more easily). Whatever the case, the new President gained the support of both the Phalanigist and the DKKP-affiliated groups in the Koinoboule, effectively acting as the bridge for the two factions of the revolutionary coalition, who are equally represented in the Senate. [...]

The President has named a provisional cabinet until by-elections can be held to fill any vacant spots of the National Assembly (as the now-unicameral Koinoboule has been renamed). This cabinet consists of both seasoned members of the parliamentary radical left and right, as well as newer faces affiliated with revolutionary forces, and several technocrats with varied backgrounds. Notable is the absence of aristocrats and members of old bourgeois families, in keeping with the new regime's emphasis on popular rule and its avowed hostility toward the old classes of power. [...]

Nat'l Assembly coalesces into new parties, grants confidence to new gov't ahead of election​

The National Assembly, Pelasgia's new legislature, has reorganised itself into two major new parties, centered around their support for or opposition to the reforms undertaken by the Senate of the Republic. The Senate is the collective head of state of the new Republic, though its President, Mr. Alexios Leontopoulos, effectively exercises most powers of the collective body on a daily basis, allowing most of the 39 Senators to focus on specialised tasks. The Senate consists of representatives of various corporatist constituences from Pelasgian society, as well as retired senior public officials, all of whom elect the President and advise the on the exercise of his powers. Daily governance is conferred to the Council of Ministers (or "cabinet" in Engell political terminology), which is appointed by the President and serves at his pleasure. The current government has announced its intent to pursue a strongly reformist agenda to modernise Pelasgia. Among its reforms are a re-evaluation of the relationship between the State and the Church, a greater role for the State in the economy that includes ownership of its commanding heights, protections for local traditions, national culture and small business from globalising forces, and various social reforms to forge a modern, common national identity, to ensure that Pelasgians of all backgrounds can contribute to society, politics, the State, the military and the economy, and to abolish outdated social distinctions and privileges, including those of the nobility and certain ecclesiastical institutions acting outside their religious duties.

This syncretic political ideology combines elements from both the right and the left, and from both radical and moderate reformist circles, being termed "Leontopoulism" or "Leontism" after the current President for lack of a more specific term. Perhaps the best proof of its unique, syncretic nature is the wide and varied base of support it has attracted: politicians affiliated with the parliamentary left, centre and right reformist circles, as well as radicals of the banned Internationalist Communist Party (DKKP) and the equally outlawed National Phalanx; intellectuals of both reactionary traditionalist and avant-guardist reformist currents; innovative businessmen and scientists, either from elite or from the humblest of backgrounds; and large masses of common people from cities and the countryside alike, ranging from the working class to even some elite circles. These forces have united and rallied behind the new Popular Patriotic Movement (LPK), which now holds a clear majority in the National Assembly. The LPK used this majority to pass a motion endorsing and supporting the new Council of Ministers named by the President of the Senate, as well as the agenda presented by the Mr. Leontopoulos in his inaugural speech.

Nevertheless, the LPK's bold agenda of modernisation and change has also attracted opposition. The traditional local and national elites of the country, be they political, economic or cultural seem determined to preserve their power and privileges, as does a significant part of the aristocracy that did not flee the country with the Despot of Caria following the Revolution. Landowners and regional notables in the countryside oppose reforms to modernise agriculture that would break their power; oligarchs oppose nationalisation of large industrial groups and simplifications of laws to promote small and medium business, as well as measures to give workers a stake in management and ownership of their enterprises; nobles vehemently oppose the end of their traditional privileges, and clerics oppose the end of many of their own; neo-liberal, internationalist intellectual circles in major cities that have dominated cultural and political life as a second aristocracy of sorts oppose the end of their own domination over the Pelasgian political economy; and many more special interests groups do not wish for changes that could threaten their influence. These forces' own political elements have formed the Democratic People's Party (LDK), whose significant political capital cannot be understated, as it is the effective voice of the Pelasgian establishment—even if that establishment does not currently control the new regime.

The two competing visions that these forces hold for Pelasgia will be put to the test in the coming election that has been scheduled to renew the ranks of the National Assembly later this month. If the LPK wins, a vast programme of change can be expected, allowing the new regime to test its promise but also changing the country profoundly. By contrast, if the LDK wins, the July 13 Revolution will be effectively censured by the electorate, allowing the establishment of the country to undo the nascent Republic's changes... and to perhaps even restore the monarchy and to undo the Annexations of Caria, Euxenia and Philistaea.

Up to 3,000 proscribed following suppressed counter-revolutionary putsch attempt in Propontis
Propontis , 18 July 2023 | Konstantinos Tiveriades

The Senate of the Republic has issued a series of emergency decrees proscribing nearly 3,000 individuals following the suppression of an attempted Counter-Rebellion by reactionary conspirators of various stripes in the Co-Capital, according to official reports. [...] The National Guard (the successor of the old Gendarmerie), the National Police and the Coast Guard, assisted by the Propontis Army and Navy Garrisons, had to use limited force to prevent an attempt by monarchist reactionaries and disgruntled DKKP and National Phalanx militias to overturn the Republic and to unilaterally acclaim the so-called Despot of Caria as King of Pelasgia during the night of July 17 and the early morning hours of July 18. The conspiracy was supported by several prominent political, business and social figures of the old regime, several of whom were detained by loyalist forces following overnight clashes that largely centered on Hagios Simeon. [...] Though the Republic's forces had the upper hand in terms of numbers and equipment, the surprise of the assault caught them complete off guard, as did its ferocity. It was only when the Pelasgian Marine Corps' elite 32nd Brigade, which is stationed in the Propontine industrial harbour district of Nea Lykaonia, intervened that the attempted putsch was decisively crushed. [...] Following the incident, which has been termed the Hagios Simeon Putsch, the Senate acted quickly to safeguard the integrity of the Republic by proscribing many prominent figures and organisations linked to the putschists. To avoid further bloodshed, the Senate decreed the seizure of their assets and the freezing of their funds, as well as their detention or internal deportation to isolated islets in the Archipelago, pending trial. [...] Nonetheless, some place the death toll of the night to up to 30 souls on both sides. [...]

Senate walks back Annexations, considering MU referenda following clashes in Caria
Nikaia (Caria), 18 July 2023 | Menelaos Papadakis (Int'l Correspondent)

The Pelasgian Senate has issued a decree temporarily pausing plans to annex Caria, Euxenia and Philistaea outright, following clashes and strong reactions in all three associated states. [...] In Philistaea, where a referendum was already scheduled, the authorities have published a decree delaying the legal fact of annexation until after a referendum, provided that the locals vote to that effect. In Caria and Euxenia, referendums have been scheduled, with the government seeking international observers to following clashes.

In Euxenia, a traditionally strongly regionalist area of the Pelasgian culture sphere in Himyar, those loyal to Despot Philetaerus II, brother to the late King of Pelasgia, were engaged in violent clashes with proponents of Enosis or "Union with Pelasgia" after the Despot was injured by a pro-Enosis officer of the National Guard, during a shootout that left three dead and fourteen injured. Prime Minister Chrystanthos Savvides was only able to calm spirits down by promising a referendum under the supervision of the Orthodox Church—while asking the Pelasgian military garrison, who had been deployed in the capital of Kerasond, to return to their bases. [...] While Euxenians have a strong Pelasgian identity, their distinctions from Pelasgia have led many to conclude that they could only unite with the Mother Country if it were to federalise or to at least grant them significant autonomy.

Caria appears to have been even more dramatic in its handling of the matter. There, the pro-Enosis government of the White faction unilaterally affirmed the country's annexation into Caria, causing Despot Attalus III Laskaris-Komnenos, son of the late King, to flee to the staunchly royalist city of Leopolis. Attempts by the Carian National Guard to arrest the Despot resulting in violent combat between it and pro-Despot paramilitaries, in a country with a strong tradition of gun ownership. As a result, a Carian National Guard helicopter was downed, while at least three vehicles of the pro-Despot forces were destroyed by the Pelasgian Air Force in a retaliatory strike. The Pelasgian Senate and the Carian Government have agreed to delay the measure, instead planning a referendum to be jointly held by the Orthodox and Catholic Churches. The Pelasgian government hopes to have the Meridian Union observe the referendum, including observers from @Ebria, @Radilo and the @Rheinbund.

Alternatively, some in the Pelasgian Senate have discussed the formation of a Pelasgian Union, including the three states as members, formalising similar ties to those that existed prior to the July 13 Revolution in Pelasgia, albeit without a monarchic character.

Draft Constitution, Union Agreement finalised ahead of referendum ​

The Great Palace of Propontis will be the seat of the Pan-Pelasgian Union

Ahead of the weekend's planned referendum, the governments of Pelasgia, Caria and Euxenia have finalised the documents to be voted upon by their electorates. First among these is the proposed Constitution of the Pelasgian Republic, which will replace the interim constitution enacted by the Senate following the July 13 Revolution. Per this Constitution, Pelasgia would be transformed into a semi-presidential republic. Two separate parliamentary chambers would be established to replace the Koinoboule. The first would be the National Assembly, which will be elected much as the current Boule of Representatives, and which will act as the sole, unicameral legislative body of Pelasgia. The second is to be the Senate, a purely consultative body consisting of a mix of representatives of various functional constituencies (e.g., professions, the clergy, the regions) and of retired senior public officials. One exception to the Senate's purely consultative role are government expenditures, which will be handled by the Senate. The Senate will advise other bodies and officials and supervise the functioning of the State, without directly legislating, and it will be the nominal guardian of the Constitution and the custodian of National Sovereignty. The Senate will also elect the President of the Republic in its sole discretion, for an unlimited number of seven-year terms. The President will have an array of significant reserve and prerogative powers (including unilaterally appointing and dismissing the Prime Minister), but government will actually be conferred to the Prime Minister, who will form the Council of Ministers with the approval of the President.

The Constitution is a purely Pelasgian matter, except in those few articles that concern the Despotates of Caria and Euxenia, whose heads of state are appointed by the Pelasgian head of state, and which are Pelasgian protectorates. Voters in the two states will be asked to whether they want to retain their current monarchy or not (with slight amendments to maintain their protectorate status); whether they want to join the Pelasgian Republic as autonomous regions or not; and whether they approve the plan of the Pan-Pelasgian Union. The plan in question would create an intergovernmental organisation and de facto confederation between the states of the Pelasgian-speaking world, with its headquarters in Propontis, at the Great Palace. Bound by the principles of common defence and security, free trade and economic integration and freedom of movement and socio-cultural integration, Pelasgia, Caria and Euxenia would operate as one common region with three closely interconnected governments. The Union would have three main institutions: the Governmental Committee (to bring together their cabinets as needed), the Council of the Union (as sort of permanent secretariat, dispute-resolution tribunal and advisory body) and the Joint General Staff (which would consist of the Pelasgian General Staff, along with advisors from the two protectorates' National Guard forces).

In the lead-up to the referenda, the three governments have decided to undertake certain measures to build trust and mend any broken ties. Apart from a general amnesty which has been issued for the vast majority of detained actors on both sides, a wider commemoration ceremony has been planned for all those killed during the upheaval of the Revolution, starting with the murdered fisherman whose death sparked the uprising and ending with the gendarmes and national guardsmen killed in Propontis and Leopolis during their respective clashes last week. This commemoration will be attended by leaders from all sides, and it will take place alongside the state funeral of late King Eumenes III of Pelasgia, who will be buried as a Pelasgian head of state with full honours.
