This News station was prevented from operating over the past few months due to the revolutions and violence that have swept our country, so, naturally, there is a lot to cover. We apologize if this broadcast interrupts your regularly scheduled programming.
Our top story tonight is the fall of the Achaean government under pressure from Validus and Fenexia, which instituted a blockade of the region, and by continued revolutionary action incited by the Communists. The members of this government had fled to Peking when riots began breaking out in Metaxades, and the government was declared at an end by joint resolution of the Parliament and Workers' Council of Gallipoli-China. This is one of the few measures the two bodies have been able to agree on. More on that later.
The members of the Nationalist Party that had until recently comprised this Achaean government demanded and retrieved their seats in Parliament, at the behest of the Liberal Party members of that body, and over the objections of the Democratic Socialists that make up the Workers' Council. However, the Nationalists were not permitted to enter the Coalition government of the Liberals and the Democrats. It remains to be seen how this unstable political situation will play out. However, it must be noted as a definite positive that the country is once more unified under a single government.
The deadlock between the two chambers of the Legislature has yet to be resolved. Each branch has a definite program, but because of the recalcitrance of the other, cannot institute it. Issues dividing the bodies are both domestic and foreign, with Eire and Uichi Ryu high on the list of problems, as is the Democratic Socialists' plan to nationalize key industries. It seems the stage is set for a power struggle.
In other news, Viktor Debs, the prominent Democratic Socialist, has not been sighted for the past few weeks.
