[INTERNAL] Vigil in front of the Libertarian Party's HQ, in Corova
Several people gathered in Revolution Park in Corova, across from the headquarters of the regional branch of the Libertarian Party, where they laid candles, flowers and pictures of the victims of the September 20 car attack. Next to the area set up in memory of the victims, people placed several banners with anti-fascist, anti-ligarchist and anti-Libertarian messages. The vigil was also attended by President Hellen Portman, Prime Minister Alexandru Odobescu and the Grand Oracle, Anamaria IV.
Such vigils have taken place across the country since the attack last weekend, in which 11 people unfortunately lost their lives.
“The tragedy of four days ago can only be described as a terrorist attack as a result of the amendments proposed in the Constituent Assembly to ban, once and for all, the far-right groups and organizations that have terrorized our entire history as a country. And, personally, I find the silence coming from them (the libertarians) at least suspicious,” Portman said, when asked by journalists.
[INTERNAL] New information regarding the Corova attacker
New information about the Corova attacker was presented by the director of the Federal Intelligence Service, Alex Petros, at a press conference at Hexagon, the headquarters of the Federal Government. The attacker, a 38-year-old man from Corova, is said to be part of the Patriots League, a far-right organization that considers itself the successor to the National League. It was allegedly founded by several people through the controversial website 5san.
“At the moment, intelligence agents have been able to identify and arrest 10 people active in this organization, including four people who are suspected of being involved in the Corova car attack on September 20, 2025. Regarding a possible link between the organization and any political party, the investigations carried out so far have not found any,” said the FIS director.

[EXTERNAL] FAIDSA withdraws aid workers from East Atlalandr
The Federal Agency for International Development and Sapientarian Aid (FAIDSA) has decided to stop sapientarian aid to East Atlalandr and withdraw it’s aid workers, recruited through the National Charity Program. This decision comes after the stabilization of the situation in the region and the exhaustion of the fund allocated for the mission.
According to a statement from FAIDSA, the last delivery of medical equipment, medicines and basic food took place last week.
