[POLITICS] Scandal regarding new constitutional amendments
Another scandal occurred in the Constituent Assembly during the debates on the constitutional rights of citizens, after the United Popular Front proposed several amendments, the main reason for the scandal being the mention that the right to private property would be ensured and regulated by legislation, not by the constitution.
“Private property is a fundamental right that has existed since the first constitution of the country. Removing it from the constitution is completely absurd and a clear sign that the government is trying to restrict our rights,” said the president of the Civics, Dominic Grey, during the debate.
“Excuse me, Mr. Grey, but let’s look at the statistics: since 1948, the property of the state, that is, of the people, has been privatized in a chaotic manner by the ligarchist regime. Private property is defined as property exploited for the generation of capital. Stay calm, no one will take your phone or toothbrush,” said Communist Alina Meyer in response.
In addition to this new change, there is also the right to personal property, the right to food and water, the right to dignity, the right to free and quality education, the right to health, the right to revolt against the state (with the caveat that this can only take place if it violates the constitutional rights of citizens), and in the case of freedom of conscience, a religious reason is not needed.
Also in the same package of proposals made by the United Popular Front, the constitutional prohibition of ligarchism, fascism, chauvinism and any ideologies that promote hatred or discrimination was proposed.
Both proposals passed the vote of the Constituent Assembly.
[INTERNAL] Car attack in Corova
Anti-fascist protests organized by students and trade unionists across the country continued yesterday, including in Corova, where several people protested in front of the headquarters of the regional branch of the Libertarian Party. During the protest, unfortunately, a person intentionally drove his car into the crowd of protesters, an incident that resulted in the death of 11 people and the injury of 27 others.
The driver of the car tried to flee the scene, but was caught by law enforcement at the entrance to the A3 highway. He tested negative for both the alcohol and drug tests. According to sources close to the investigation, there is no connection between the guilty driver and the Libertarians.
Following the events in Corova, several parties expressed their condolences to the families of the victims, and the Communists have also accused the Libertarian Party in a post on the party’s official page of inciting violence. At the time of publication, Mihai Remișceanu, the president of the Libertarians, could not be reached for comment.
The Federal Government adopted a decision earlier today to declare a week of national mourning.
[INTERNAL] LiSA opens new Space Center
The Limboese Space Agency has opened the new Gorvoaia Space Center, located in the town of the same name. Its construction began in 2016, but was slowed down due to funding issues in 2020. The head of the Federal Department for Culture, Education, Research and Youth, Silvia Vocoț, attended the opening of the center.
“As I stated at the beginning of my mandate, the development of our country is important. And this is not just about economic development, but also about education, research, health and infrastructure. We hope that through this new LiSA facility we will convince as many young specialists as possible to stay in the country,” Vocoț said.
According to the director of the Limboese Space Agency, this facility will also be available for use by researchers from Sigeta (through the Bilateral Research Program) or other CIN member countries (only through an agreement with the Federal Government and the agency).
This is the third LiSA investment opened this year, after the Center for Astrobiology and Planetary Sciences (CAPS) in Corova and the Southern Grivița Astronomical Observatory.
