Bakker Shuts Natsional-Syndikalistish Drëfer An Anti-Monarkistish Kommentären and Ferfregst Ën 'Radrepublik'
Bakker Defends National-Syndicalist Leader On Anti-Monarchical Comments and Demands a 'Council Republic'
Grinvelden

After the polemic statements by the National-Syndicalist leader Erik Strakman yesterday, the communist leader, Ildephonz Bakker (Chairman of the PAB), has, in a rare gesture of inter-left solidarity, come forward to support Strakman’s statements.

‘If this new constitutional order sees itself as a bulwark of freedom of expression, I do not see the problem of Strakman’s statements’ said Bakker earlier this morning in a rally in Grinvelden ‘Despite our great differences, I see in Strakman a good friend of the working class and the peasantry, especially in his courageous criticism of the capitalist-monarchist order (…) I only pity his nationalist and religious approach to socialism, only showing the NSB lag behind, still in the utopic socialist phase’.

Bakker, earlier today in a rally in Grinvelden

When asked if he opened the door to any coalition with other left-wing parties, Bakker explicitly refused such possibility, saying it would be ‘incoherent’ if the PAB, a ‘hard-line Marxist party’ associated himself with parties that ‘although having a collective debt to Marxist theory, do not follow a scientific materialistic dialectical view of History.’

Nevertheless, he emphasized the fact that ‘both the PAB and the NSB are united in the ‘anti-monarchical struggle’ and desire to implement ‘comprehensive reforms in order to abolish feudalist remnants’ and attack ‘embryonary capitalism while it is still beginning’.

Once more, in Grinvelden, the communists underline their usual proposals: collectivization of major industries and rural property; creation of universal health and education systems; fight against illiteracy; separation of religion and State; immediate action against Rikhard; establishment of a Radrepublik (Council Republic) governed by democratic centralism, among other policies.

Rikhardist Anslakt Triben Natsional-Syndikalistish Trëver Mordern!
Rikhardist Attack Tries to Kill National-Syndicalist Leader!
Ziost

Yesterday, another attack shook the Nation. In the last day of campaign, just two days before the voting tomorrow, a man with a grenade tried to detonate himself in order to assassinate Erik Strakman, leader of the National-Syndicalist Brigades. The device ended up exploding, killing the bomber and three civilians, supporters of the NSB.

Reportedly, the suicide bomber shouted ‘Long Live Rikhard V, True King of Boganhem!’, which indicates he could be under the orders of Rikhard V, former King of Boganhem. During a rally in Ziost, when Strakman was greeting supporters, the bomber tried to activate the grenade. However, due to either inexperience or good luck, the grenade did not explode in time, and Strakman managed to escape without being hurt, and many people had time to flee. In panic, the bomber tried to run away, but was killed by the grenade’s blast, along with three people not fast enough to make a safe escape.

This serious security breach has led the still-Chancellor Frank Villsun to decree a ‘state of emergency’, with reinforced policing and deploying the Army in more sensitive areas. Notwithstanding, the elections ‘will take place tomorrow’ anyway said Villsun. It seems it was a personal decision made by the King, who released hours ago a small statement:

“The Crown feels grieving sorrow for those who perished today, victims of a barbaric act, of those my father has accustomed us to. Nevertheless, democracy will not yield to terrorism and everything will continue as usual. Security will be, of course, reinforced, as the Government announced, but we will show the terrorists that a free people does not change its plans in order to escape terror, the weapon of those who cannot convince the People in a democratic fashion. Tomorrow, I call you all to vote and give Rikhard a lesson.”

Strakman, barely escaping, later said: “This act of cowardice shows once more the futility of monarchy, who leads to mere family fights, whose true victims are innocent and patriotic Bogans. May the souls of these three brave men rest in peace.” Also taking the chance to make a campaign statement, Strakman warned: “Should I be elected Chancellor, I shall have no mercy to those who bring terror upon the Bogan people.”.

For now, polls give a lead to the social-democrats, at 28-32%, followed by the KP, dropping to 20-26%, the liberals, the communists and the national-syndicalists.

Erkebnitsen dez Undergamotvälez: Ën Zig Für di Lifte
Undergamot Elections' Results: a Victory for the Left
Malachor

After a voting day with reinforced security and some tension due the possibility of more attacks like the one in Friday, the ballots were counted and, after 12 million electors (in a record turnout of 95%) turned up in the voting stations, the results are official: the Social-Democratic Party, as predicted, was the most voted party, followed, by some distance, by the Royal Party (the KP). What was a srprise was the third positioning of the National-Syndicalist Brigades, with 20%, just barely over the Liberals. The communists of the PAB were the last party.

No major incidents occurred at the polling stations.

A chart representing the election results.

According to the Constitution, the King is bound by the election results and will, in principle, choose the leader of the most voted party (in this case, the SDP) as Chancellor and mandate him the formation of a Government. However, unlike the '51 elections, the most voted party did not win with an absolute majority, and so, with a hung Undergamot, Engelbert Eitenshmit, the presumed Chancellor will have to make a choice: if he wants to emphasize the economic reform, he will have to make some kind of post-electoral deal or coalition with the NSB or the communists, since both left-wing parties would support their economic reforms. Or Eitenshmit can reach an understanding with the Liberals in order to make moral and social reform.

Tomorrow we will report the reactions from the party leaders and from the presumed Chancellor, Engelbert Eitenshmit. What we can say is that these elections represent an historic moment for the Bogan left-wing, who achieved, for the first time, the majority of the votes, though divided between social-democrats, national-syndicalists and communists. So, in what concerns economic policy, this day will be a turning point and probably the dawn of a Bogan welfare state. We shall wait for the negotiations.

Eitenshmits Välzig Betanken and di Ondere Partëtrëverns Reaktione: 'Vit ën Unfoll Stomak, Et Giv Nikts Frëhëd'
Eitenshmit's Electoral Victory Acknowledgement and the Other Party Leaders' Reactions: 'With an Empty Stomach, There is No Freedom'
Malachor

The official results confirmed it: the Social-Democratic Party rose as the major party in the Undergamot and His Majesty King Robert has mandated Engelbert Eitenshmit to form a new government, as dictated by the Constitutional Charter. Now, Eitenshmit can either arrange a coalition with any of the other left-wing parties (NSB or PAB) or with the Liberals in order to gain more parliamentary support, though only a coalition with the National-Syndicalists could give him a comfortable enough majority to pass almost all legislation without opposition. Somewhere next week there should be a Government, a totally SDP or a mixed one.

Before thousands of supporters in Malachor, Eitenshmit finally delivered his 'victory speech':

"This is an historical day for Boganhem. For the first time in our History, the people chose a radically different way. Yes, indeed that the recent democratic transition brought some change, especially politically. However, in economic affairs conditions remained unbearable for the common folk... Before '51 we had an aristocracy dominating the economy, namely in the countryside. In two years an uncontrolled and oppressing bourgeoisie appeared and took control of the economy, denying the Bogan people the funds and the means to live life with dignity. Now, all that is about to change. Though we did not reach absolute majority, the people showed that 60% support left-wing policies. Those votes on the SDP, the NSB and the PAB represent one thing: most of us want a welfare state, most of us want labour laws, free education, free health. What's the point of being economically and politically free if we can't feed ourselves or pay a lawsuit? How are our rights warded in that way? They are not. We are not against freedom, as our right-wing adversaries usually like to say - we are for substantial freedom, material freedom. With an empty stomach and bad health there is no freedom. With us, your livelihood will improve, no because we give away money for sloth, but because we will provide basic services that are necessary to ensure human dignity....

I would like to thank all my supporters, the social-democratic party and sympathizers for the perseverance with which they participated in this campaign. And thank His Majesty the King for theimpartiality, courage and unbias with which he conducted these elections. But most of all, thank the Bogan people."

Eitenshmit Speaking

The other parties' reactions followed suit. Gerrad fon Aldbaten, leader of the KP (Royal Party), congratulated Eitenshmit on the victory and hoped that despite the 'substantial differences', the mutual respect both had for 'democracy and freedom' could be a tool to preserve the 'hard-earned' liberation from the 'absolutist King'.

Anton Leman of the Liberals, expressed his best desires, and proposed 'reinforced cooperation' in 'making traditionalism a thing of the past', especially through 'parliamentary synchronization' in issues such as Norssexer autonomy, Kingdom-FSB relations, religious freedom, among others.

The National-Syndicalists, though 'not liking the anti-national approach' of social-democracy, were happy with the results, especially because they themselves were not expecting to come in third and also because 'finally' Boganhem can enjoy 'a policy based on true social justice', said Erik Strakman.

The communists' reaction was more sober. Though the 'hoped for the best', said Ildephonz Bakker, and were happy because the SDP is a left-wing party', they fear it 'will not be enough' and that social-democracy in general is 'revisionist fraud' and only a tactic for another type of 'bourgeoisie ensure their continuation in power'.

Negotiations to form a Government are underway.

The Kingdom-Empire is commensurately impressed by the democratic deliverance in the national and general elections that have resulted in such stability as result.

I, as foreign minister, cannot be one moment be diverged from the sheer vibrancy of the internal political sphere which is a reminder of the cut and thrust of Danish political discourse, at times rumbustious and full of ribaldry.

Despite the troubles of the Royal Family, we find a degree of comfort that Boganhem can find a decent and peaceful settlement that does not involve needless letting of blood and fisty-cuffs in the streets.

We congratulate the new leader, as prime minister, of the Realm of Boganhem.

Eitenshmit Forgoest Vit Ën Minterhëdsrigirdum
Eitenshmit Goes Forth With a Minority Government
Malachor

Earlier today, Engelbert Eitenshmit announced that the King 'had accepted his State Secretaries' and, so 'the Government of the Kingdom of Boganhem was formed', needing only the approval of the Undergamot. It seems it was a disappointing result for Eitenshmit, since he was not able of reaching an agreement with the National-Syndicalists, the only other Party that could form a majority (excluding the KP, which would be highly unlikely), nor was he able to reach some kind of wide-compassing understanding with the Liberals for social/moral issues and the communists for economic issues (arguably by communist refusal).

"For the last week, I've been meeting with Mrs. Erik Strakman, Anton Leman and Ildephonz Bakker. The leader of the PAB demanded a radical economic programme we could never accept, which is said since it divides the left with much sectarism. The Liberals pledged to support us on moral and social policies but never in economic decisions. We had the National-Syndicalists left, who also put forth unacceptable demands. Hence, I had to ask the King to form a minority Government and I wait that, when the Undergamot votes us, the Parties can do so in good faith and respect for the decision taken by the Bogan people"

That might be tricky for Eitenshmit, who has aggregated only 30% of the vote. Despite being the major party, he cannot form Government without support of 50,1% of the Undergamot, which would be possible should the National-Syndicalists vote for, or, other option, both the Liberals and the Communists said yes.

Analysts say it is impossible and 'delusional' to try to form a right-wing government, because both the KP and the Liberals, together, do not reach the demanded majority. The communists have already shown their intransigence and are closed to negotations. The only option for Eitenshmit lies in Strakman and the national-syndicalists. But, as Robert Roger, our house commentator, notes: "Eitenshmit was very precise when referring to the reasons why the liberals and the communists had not accepted a post-electoral agreement, but, when referring to the NSB, he was strangely vague, which probably means both him and Strakman are still considering, after weighing the pros and cons, to form a majority Government, which would be possible"

The Undergamot voting is Thursday, and, until then, we have to wait.

Eitenshmits Minterhëdsrigirdum Nerrowlish Yabezagt i'm Undergamot
Eitenshmit's Minority Government Narrowly Approved in the Undergamot
Malachor

After a tense week of failed negotiations, with Engelbert Eitenshmit still attempting to form a majority government with the National-Syndicalists, the Chancellor-elect proposed a minority Government to the Undergamot. The result would be uncertain, but the surprise abstention of the National-Syndicalists, the Liberals and the Communists might have saved Eitenshmit. In total, with few dissent within the parties, the KP voted in block against the formation of the Government and, save few exceptions, all representatives of the other three parties abstained. With the social-democrats voting for a social-democratic government, the Eitenshmit cabinet was made possible. It is unclear what motivated those parties in tacitly accepting a SDP government: the Liberals might have seen advantages in the social progressive thinking of the SDP (and realized that they could not do much to stop economic policies from the left, considering she holds a majority in the Undergamot), the National-Syndicalists and the Communists, making too high demands for a coalition, would not vote for the formation of the Government, but did let it happen, due to the relatively shared vision of economic problems.

With the Government accepted by the King and by the Undergamot (the Hokgamot gives an unbinding 'consideration', which accepted it), nothing stands in Eintenshmit's way, save for a hung Undergamot, which will probably accept all of his economic policies.
The Secretaries of State increased in number:

With three new State Secretariats, the last two formed out of the old State Secretariat for Education and Other Social Affairs and the first one created anew (in the old Regime the State Secretariat of Corporations and Guilds had the same competences and under Villsun's liberalization impetus, the functions were absorved by Finance and Tax), one would quickly reach the conclusion the first left-wing government in Bogan history is to dedicate more time to social issues, like education, healthcare and social security.

Undergamot Velligst Eitenshmit's Unbëplë 'Folkshaushald'
Undergamot Approves Eitenshmit's Unprecedented 'People's Budget'
Malachor

It was not with difficulty that Eitenshmit gained his first political victory in the Undergamot, as the social-democrats, with the backing of the national-syndicalists and the communists, approved the first budget in Bogan history that redistributes wealth and creates national health and education services. Despite the accusations of the KP and the Liberals, the left-wing majority in the Undergamot was quick to see this as a political victory to the SDP, the NSB and the PAB, and, especially to Chancellor Eitenshmit.

Despite the fact that State Budgets can only be approved in the beginning of each year, Eitenshmit took advantage of one fact: Boganham was living on a temporary emergency budget, as last year's was halted by increasing economic difficulties and reluctance in tax raise by the Villsun cabinet. And so, as the Constitutional Charter permits, a permanent budget can be arranged until June, which was what happened.

Every sector of the political spectrum, right or left-wing, see the approval of what Eitenshmit called the 'People's Budget' (Folkshaushald) as a revolutionary event, only disagreeing on its pertinence. What is so unprecedented in this budget?

- The former flat income tax rate of 15% is gone. Boganhem has adopted a progressive taxation system and people will be taxed according to their economic capacity. With five levels of taxation, the new system taxes people with income up to 150 tallers at a rate of 0%, 150-300 tallers at a rate of 18%; 300-800 tallers at a rate of 27%; 800-1500 at a rate of 36% and from 1500 tallers up at a rate of 45%. With this new system, Eitenshmit wants 'rich people' to contribute more to improve the livelihood of the community and help build 'a free and universal healthcare and education system'. The Government predicts that income due to taxes will duplicate, enabling other programmes.

- A free and universal education system is underway. Despite already in existence, public schools were few, and the Kingdom was still dominated by religious or traditional schools. This year, the state budget predicts the transformation of 1000 of those already-existing schools into free and secular public schools with a State-imposed curriculum and will keep the existence of at least 200 of those old schools until the end of the legislature, on an experimental bases. University fees will also be lowered, and the Government foresees the creation of two new universities (other than the one at Boganhem), the University of Seeshloss and the University of Kongsberg.

- A free and universal national healthcare service is also planned. 10 thousand million tallers are set to be used in the building of a new network of free hospitals (at the moment only 5 public hospitals exist, the others being private or traditional), at least '3 in each province', not to mention the creation of Besondhëdtsentrum (Health Centres), local free and public clinics.

- Expenditure in public works aimed at creating jobs and relaunching the economy, namely bridges, power plants and dams, as well as a general expansion of the public transport system.

These measures imply a duplication in public expenditure which the Government hopes will be compensated with the progressive tax system and future nationalisations of key industries.

The budget was approved with the help and praise of national-syndicalists and communists. The leader of the NSB, Erik Strakman, said it was 'one of the happiest days' of his life, because the Bogan people were finally 'starting to reclaim what's theirs', while the communist Secretary-General Bakker, hoped this would be the 'first step to greater progress'.

Onirsirst sstep'd be
On the other side of the political spectrum, KP leader Gerbert fon Aldbaten, said the 'so-called People's Budget' was 'irresponsible and utopic' and that, in the end, it was the Bogan people and economy that 'would suffer' from 'over-expenditure' and 'unforeseen results', critics echoed by the Liberal leader Anton Leman, which, despite agreeing on the expansion of the education system and the end of traditional schools, said that the tax rates were 'brutally increased' and 'hurt economic development', under the illusion of 'redistribution'.

After the emission of the Hokgamot's opinion (influental but not binding), the King will approve the budget.

Norsaex-Affär Skefst Ferst Kluf Tsvitsen Undergamotishe Ferboundeneten
Norssex Affair Creates First Rift Between Parliamentary Partners
Malachor

Only a few months after the elections and the parliamentary deal between the social-democrats and the national-syndicalists, the first sign of divergence emerged. Until now, the Government had only pushed for socially-oriented economic reforms, which the NSB (National-Syndicalist Brigades) has accepted and approved, assuring an absolute majority in the Undergamot and the smooth approval of those reforms.

However, as some analysts foresaw, conflict started to emerge and it has to do with the faith of Norssex, the easternmost province of the Kingdom, populated by anglo-saxon agricultural communities that identify as a distinct ethnicy and nation. Throughout all the campaign, the social-democrats were, besides the liberals, the only party actively campaigning to transform the regular administrative province of Norssex into an autonomous province in order to protect and promote its native language, culture and enable further local decision making . The national-syndicalists, on the other hand, were the strongest opponents to such an autonomy, citing the 'indivisibility' of the Kingdom and also the fact that about 35-40% of Norssex's population is not Norssexer but Bogan, and the NSB fears that autonomy will transform ethnic Bogans in Norssex as a discriminated minority.

How did this conflict happen? Although there are no official records, some backstage movements in both parties made clear that somehow Erik Strakman knew that Eitenshmit would go forward with a proposal for Norssexer autonomy. His indignation leaked into the press and, though none of the leaders has assumed the conflict, many voices within both parties are now calling for a confrontation. Earlier today, Peter Benediktsun, under-Secretary-General of the SDP, has stated that: "the national-syndicalists cannot see, blinded by their strange brand of socialism embedded in chauvinistic nationalism and religious zeal." Gerrad Stelk, spokesman of the NSB, reacted violently: "we do not accept comments aimed at insulting the Party, especially when they come from a Christian. We maintain our position - Norssex is Boganhem. History is of no meaning here - the fact that, 500 years ago, there was an homogeneous territory populated by the same people does not imply that, after all those years under Boganhem's protection, many Bogans, searching for better agricultural grounds and fields, settled in Norssex. Now, they are a sizable minority, especially in urban areas. We must not let Norssexer radicalism threaten the unity of the Nation."

The fight is on, and many people ask how will the 'parliamentary collaboration' between both parties go on, considering the bad environment. Probably, any political reforms the Government wants to make will need the Liberals' approval, and that will mean economic concessions, as the FLP will not let the Government nationalize any company.

EMERGENCY EDITION: Bombings and Assassinations in Six Major Cities: Over 350 Dead!
Malachor, Seeshloss, Ziost, Kongsberg, Varmstad, Lübeck

The Daglishes Harrold decided to print an emergency edition in order to inform the Bogan population of six terrorist attacks in six cities earlier today, almost simultaneous. The Government suspects of Rikhardist action, considering today is former King Rikhard's 50th birthday.

In Malachor, in the Kongsplats, right in front of the Royal Palace, where an open-air fair was taking place, a car exploded, killing people within 100 meters immediately and setting fire to the fair. The screams of people burning to death echoed through the square, and though the firemen tried to put out the fire, it was already raging throughout the fair. Death toll: 127 people

In Seeshloss, a man came running into the Allmëner Ferën dez Arpëtern (General Worker Union),and, probably with dynamite under his cloak, detonated himself. The explosion killed approximately 100 delegates and destroyed part of the building.

In Kongsberg, a car bombing was also used in the city's main shopping street, killing over 60 people.

In Warmstead/Varmstad, a personal bombing was also used. After the terrorist dragged a citizen out of his car and killed him with a knife, he wrote something on the wall, with the deadman's blood - Dod d'em Anglo-Saksonishe Fertroer! (Death to the Anglo-Saxon traitors!) on the wall. After that, he shot over 20 people in the streets, walking and shooting randomly, only stopping after being shot down by the Police.

Finally, in Ziost and Lübeck, bus bombing was preferred, killing 30 in Ziost and 40 in Lübeck.

As for now, our sources count over 350 people dead more than 1000 severely wounded.

The Government declared a state of emergency and the Army is on the streets in order to safeguard safety. The Government also urges citizens to remain inside their houses and not to open the door to anyone without a police or Army uniform until further notice.

The Kingdom and Empire is significantly distraught at the bloody outpouring of domestic strife that has gotten the hold of the Boganhem Realm in ways that can only be hitherto only imagined. Reality has obliterated common niceties into nightmarish horizons of which only the composite dreamer can usually realise that their worst sweat-inducing, tortuous and sleep-depriving nightmares. The reality not only casts a shadow across the Bogan peoples but across the Family of Nations. These wholly uncivilised people, scum would not be too far off the mark, have taken immense pleasure in boasting and strutting with these murders a notch on their crusade. This miniscule band of desperate, isolated and twisted so-called 'people' cruelly bring tears and strife to the majority as they take pleasure and rub their hands with glee at the smashed bodies, torn-off limbs, matted blood, crushed bones and crushed spirit.

That some egregious people within Boganhem sought fit to blastoon their own fellow nationals into shreds is not only a dire mark against them but also their twisted mentality and we appropriately demand that relevant authorities deal with this ghastly infliction upon the body politic.

The Kingdom and Empire directs its couched and velveted accords in order to provide assistance to the Realm of Boganhem but the only concession we demand is justice whilst holding ones head high. Civilised nations do not drag themselves into the gutter into the domain already inhabited by these perpetrators of horror.

The Kingdom and Empire understands appropriate justice is a difficult circumstance to stomach but it is nodded due virtue by this Kingdom.

Aftermath of the Bombings: Rikhard's Declaration and the NSB's Withdrawal of Parliamentary Support
Malachor

Two days after the terrorist attacks whose death toll is over 400 at the moment, Rikhard fon Malachor (former King Rikhard V) has announced to the Nation that he is responsible for them. Without regret or repentance, the former monarch promised more attacks unless his son, current King Robert IV, resigns and annuls the Constitutional Charter. Here is a small excerpt:

"Dear Subjects,

The holy war against the traitor and treacherous democratic government reaches its dramatic stage. Before the explicit refusal by the Government and the 'King' to give the power vested by the Gods back to me, action had to be taken. The God-Father Voden could not stand witnessing this humiliation, this attack on his Sons, and so, the High Priests in Vodenskove - the legitimate High Priests - have announced that it is his utmost desire to accelerate the downfall of the usurpers. And so, in response to the daily attacks undertaken in Vodenskove and sorrounding areas against those who were brave and loyal enough to stand with their Lord, several martyrs sacrificed their life in order to save Boganhem. Save Boganhem from capitalism, from socialism, from the campaign of destruction that is the need to give Nordsaex (Norssex) a 'special statute', from those who perpetuate lies upon the Bogan people. And I hope that you, my dear subjects, understand the need to stand tall against this conspiracy. The whole truth will be unveiled someday, and then, you will stand by me, who always stood by you (...) More attacks will follow, and we will spare no one."

Chancellor Eitenshmit already promised 'swift action' against Rikhard, but demanded 'caution': 'we will surely respond with strength, in order to finish the terror, in order to reclaim to the Bogan people territories rightfully theirs, but we will do so with respect for the fundamental rights of the inhabitants of the occupied territories." The Chancellor also took the opportunity to send 'deep and thankful regards' to the States of Danmark, Potenza Sikandara and the Mezhist Union, after their 'strong condemnation of Rikhardist violence'.

Simultaneous, the way the Government is choosing to deal with Rikhard has provoked reactions from across the political spectrum. The KP, the National-Syndicalists and the Communists were united in the conviction that 'brute military action' must be undertaken 'as soon as possible'. Erik Strakman, leader of the NSB, said that 'democratic Boganhem must show no mercy to the archaic monarch in Vodenskove', who deserves, for his actions, 'summary execution'. He also took the chance to announce that 'the parliamentary cooperation deal with the SDP' is now 'null and void', saying that the NSB cannot 'cooperate with a weak Government who is afraid to take decisive action against a terrorist who kills hundreds of innocent civilians whenever he has the chance'. Even inside the SDP, some more conservative sectors are unsatisfied with the Government's reluctance in approving a full-scale military offensive against Rikhard.

One can only wait to see the possible political consequences of the NSB's withdrawal from the left-wing cooperation agreement. Will the communists follow?
