[POLITICS] Civics officially allies with the Prosperity Party

Dominic Grey, the president of the Civics, went with the president of the Arrows, Eric Ionavici, to the Federal Electoral Commission to submit the formation documents of the Liberal Union for next month’s elections. According to the two, the Liberal Union has a center-right, pro-Auroran orientation, and proposes, among other things, the elimination of military neutrality from the constitution and the preservation of the right to private property as a constitutional right.

“The time has come to overcome old enmities and join the fight for freedom. We will work to defend the rights of the citizens of this country and we will ensure that the country does not fall into dictatorship,” Ionavici declared.

According to the latest poll, only 19% of those interviewed would vote with the Liberal Union in the next elections for the Constituent Assembly.

[INTERNAL] Corova - Sticlari ferry ride resumes

The director of the Federal Administration of Maritime and River Routes, Elena Ionescu, said that the popular ferry between Corova and Sticlari, closed for almost a decade, will resume operations this month. According to her, the new boat purchased by the government has received an operating license and will arrive in the port of Corova early next week.

The sea ferry route between Corova and Sticlari has a long history. It first appeared in 1845, after the island of Sticlari was purchased by King Vlad I as a gift for his lover, and the races were interrupted in 1948, after the coup d’état of the League. In 1972, it was reintroduced after the reconquest of the island by the military junta.

After 44 years of operation, the Corova-Sticlari ferry route was closed in 2016 by the government due to the low number of passengers and the high costs of managing it.

[EXTERNAL] Shimajiro to be admitted to CIN next month

Shimajiro’s Imperial Chancellor, Sayuri Fujimura, announced that she has reached an agreement with Limbo and other member states of the Convention of Island Nations regarding her country’s accession to the Convention. According to Shimajiro Today, the government of the small island nation has already signed and ratified the entire Charter, which has also received royal assent from the Emperor Daishin.

Last month, President Hellen Portman paid an official visit to Shimajiro, where she discussed the country’s involvement in the Convention of Island Nations with Chancellor Sayuri Fujimura, she said, among other topics. The latter stated that:"This is a great opportunity to bring all of our nations together, in a world where island nations such as ours are otherwise left out of the fray in many respects. "

Regarding the discussion that the two heads of state had, President Portman told the press, before her departure from Shimajiro, the following: “I am delighted by the interest that other nations have in this initiative. The time has come to leave isolationist foreign policies and to get involved in foreign policy, that is why I approved the accession to UNAC, that is why I initiated CIN… The time has come to unite and work together for a better and fairer future for all,” she declared, referring to Henry Pren’s policy of diplomatic non-involvement.

Shimajiro is set to obtain member state status of the Convention of Island Nations on 1 September.

[EXTERNAL] Vocoț announces the foundation of two new LCI branches

The Head of the Federal Department of Culture, Education, Research and Youth, Silvia Vocoț, announced yesterday in a joint press conference with the Head of the FDFAD, Maria Tonova, that the draft law on the opening of two new branches of the Limboese Cultural Institute has passed the vote of the Council of Deputies and the necessary steps are to be taken for this.

According to the text of the draft, the two new branches of the Limboese Cultural Institute will be opened in two capitals: Seikan (Shimajiro) and Nagyfelvárad (Sigeta). The administration of the Institute is expected to write requests for the allocation of spaces for the organization of branches in the coming days, and the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and Diplomacy will send the requests to the local authorities. The budget for this project is estimated to be around 5.3 billion lei.

[POLITICS] Social Democrats, divided on the issue of merging with the Populists

The members of the Social Democratic Party are completely divided on a purely hypothetical scenario: the merger of the party with the Limboese People’s Party. This comes after the populists announced the formation of separate factions and the organization of primary elections to choose candidates in the next elections.

According to sources within the party, this topic has been brought up for discussion by certain Social Democratic leaders. It is still not known exactly what the personal position of the Prime Minister and Social Democratic leader Alexandru Odobescu is, but he stated the following:

“I am aware that there is a certain topic that is quite discussed within the party and I will not take an official position on it. However, if the discussions on this continue longer than would be normal, then the only solution I see will be to convene a party congress.”

Last week, the Secretary-General of the Limboese People’s Party, Gabi Andreescu, announced the formation of factions within the party.

[INTERNAL] Anti-fascist protests announced by FSOL

The Federation of Student Organizations in Limbo has announced the organization of several protests in university towns in reaction to the growing popularity of extremism. An official statement says that these protests will take place both in front of state universities and in public areas.

“It is worrying and outrageous that now, after 39 years since the anti-fascist revolution, we have reached a situation where fascists are gaining popularity. In addition, we have observed how they demonize and use vulnerable segments of the country’s population for electoral gain. Fascism has no place in our country or in our culture,” the official statement says.

The protests will take place until September 5, with the possibility of being extended after the elections if the National Sovereignist Bloc wins the elections.

[INTERNAL] The government proposes a new social housing program

The head of the Federal Department of Labor and Social Affairs, Anamaria Paparudă, announced a new bill that seeks to re-establish the Federal Housing Agency. The project involves, among other things, the construction of new social housing, as well as the re-acquisition of land from real estate developers whose projects were canceled.

Anamaria Paparudă: “At the moment, I have discussed it with the development ministers of all regions and it was agreed that part of the project costs will be borne by the Federal Government. Part of the costs will be covered by Auroran funds, and the rest will be the responsibility of the regional governments.”

The bill is to be debated in the Federal Senate next Tuesday.

[EXTERNAL] Packilvania-Sigeta Non-Aggression Pact renewal, questioned

Several members of the Sigetan People’s Party do not want the renewal of the non-aggression pact with Packilvania, on the grounds that it would disadvantage Sigeta economically and militarily. According to Szikra, several Sigetan MPs are requesting the amendment the text of the pact, demanding the establishment of a demilitarized zone along the borders with Packilvania and guarantees that the sultanate’s armed forces will not enter the country’s airspace or maritime waters.

At the moment, Sigetan resident Attila Szabo is in Packilvania with President Hellen Portman for negotiations.

[POLITICS] Party mergers: the new trend

Several parties want to merge with each other, according to the latest information. This would not be something new this year, after the enlargement of the People’s Party by merging over half of the members of the United Popular Front.

In the foreground we have the Prosperity Party, which is doing poorly in the polls. According to the latest LISPS poll, they would fall below the 2% electoral threshold if they competed alone in the elections, which led to the proposal of the party joining the Civic Union, a party with almost similar values. The same thing is proposed within the Progressive Conservative Party, but towards the Thaerist Democratic Union.

Another example is that of the parties in the National Sovereignist Bloc, where the leaders of the formations propose the formation of a new party with similar values.

PBC World - 2025 Limboese Contituent Assembly election

List of the main characters

Ash Grigore - PBC World news anchor - They/Them - Human
Elena Holeanu - Center for Political Sciences Rector - She/Her - Elven
Bogdan Ionescu - RFU Investigative journalist - He/Him - Orc

[Ash:] Dear viewers, welcome back to the special edition of PBC World. As I mentioned before, with me in the studio is the rector of the Center for Political Sciences, Elena Holeanu, and journalist Bogdan Ionescu. In a few moments, we will have the results. Mrs. Holeanu, you said earlier that this year is a year of change in the politics of our country.

[Elena:] Yes, and I will tell you why. For the first time in the political history of the country, we had a left-wing governing coalition, with a party assumed by the extreme left at the helm. We have also seen an ascension, so to speak, of the political left at both the regional and federal levels, taking into account the right-wing governments so far.

[Bogdan:] And, of course, in addition to this, we have observed several corruption cases being solved by the General Anti-Corruption Commission. The most famous examples, which I personally think we all know, are the Limsilva case and the BNL reserves theft case, cases that have been delayed in the courts for a very long time.

[Ash:] However, let’s not forget that some of the convicted criminals fled the country, specifically Ran Pristine and Bertha Neumann.

[Elena:] A rather sad thing, considering that they have delayed the trial of the cases in which they are convicted for as long as… 7-8 years, if I remember correctly?

[Bogdan:] Yes, for almost a decade.

[Ash:] Ok, a few more seconds until we find out the final result. There was a large turnout in these elections, a record compared to the last elections. And here it is…

The screen cuts to a pie chart showing the results.

pie
pie788×392 15.8 KB

[Ash:] … the United Popular Front with 51%, followed by the Libertarian Party with 32.6%, the Justice Party with 8.4% and the Liberal Union with 8%. As we can see, the United Popular Front won the majority.

[Elena:] A pretty incredible score, if I may put it that way. The far-right also had an okay performance. In a way, the two political extremes won.

Ash looks as Bogdan, who is staring at the chart with the results displayed on the large screen behind them.

[Ash:] Bogdan, I noticed that you are looking at the results in amazement.

Bogdan turns back to Ash.

[Bogdan:] Yes, Ash, and more so because of the funny situation. Because of the result that the Liberals have. The Civics have gone from being the largest political force in the country to 8%, and this in an electoral alliance.

[Elena:] After what happened at the beginning of the year, it can be said that Odobescu was the best option for the party leadership, compared to Dominic Grey, and this could lead to his removal from the party leadership. That is if he does not resign, of course.

[Bogdan:] A worrying result is that of the far-right and the “Agrarian Party”, which from my point of view can be a satellite party of the Libertarians, and I will tell you why. Ileana Vântur, the party’s founder, is a former member of the Alliance for Liberty. Besides that, the party has almost the same so-called anti-establishment message as the Libertarian Party. However, fortunately, they do not have a majority. It remains to be seen what will happen next.

[POLITICS] Social Democrats split

The National Congress of the Social Democratic Party ended three days ago, where the Social Democrats voted overwhelmingly to merge with the Limboese People’s Party. The congress was called by the party leader, Prime Minister Odobescu, due to the number of members who left the party in favor of the LPP. However, there are voices within the party that criticize this measure.

“It is not a good measure, because we are abandoning a portion of the electorate, the portion of the center-left to the center, which could be taken by those from the Agrarian Party or Civics. And if we want this not to happen, then there must be a more moderate movement for them. Of course, we who oppose these measures will go our own way,” declared Adrian Popoviciu.

The moderate faction of the party released a statement yesterday evening announcing the formation of a new center-left party: the Labour Party. They also stated that they will continue to collaborate with the populists through the United Popular Front.

[POLITICS] Alice Meyer, removed from TDU leadership

The Thaerist-Democratic Union Congress voted urgently to remove Alice Meyer from the party leadership after she proposed a merger of the party with the Limboese Civic Union, replacing her with Emilia Bauer. Among the reasons listed by the party in the official statement published yesterday are: planning the dissolution of the party without consulting the Congress, the alleged influence of Bertha Neumann (convicted in a Limsilva case) on Alice Meyer, and the lack of a plan to recover the party’s image after the Fomalhaut protests in June.

Also at the same Congress, the party adopted a new political statute and will negotiate the party’s accession to the United Popular Front, completely leaving the Liberal Union.

[INTERNAL] Protests against the far right resume

Anti-fascist protests in major cities have resumed after the Constituent Assembly elections, with people taking to the streets in large numbers. In Corinești alone, police reported around 100,000 participants in recent days, with people gathering in front of the Palace of Parliament, carrying banners with various messages.

Protester: “I think the country has suffered enough from half a century of right-wing rule, and I don’t think it’s right that over a quarter of the people have chosen the far-right, even though they are fully aware of what it has done to our people and our country.”

Protester: “They should be banned, in my opinion. If money and profit are more important than our well-being, then they should disappear completely.”

A person was arrested and taken to the police headquarters after he tried to hit several protesters in front of the Parliament.

[INTERNAL] The new school year has begun

Students have been welcomed back into schools as the new school year begins. This year brings new things for them, such as changes to the curriculum and standardized textbooks at the federal level.

The Federal Government has invested substantially in education since the end of last year. A record 10.3% was allocated to education and research in this year’s budget, and officials hope that this will bring about a change in the country’s education system.

[INTERNAL] President Portman, back in the country for medical reasons

President Helen Portman returned to Limbo last week after she reportedly felt unwell during her diplomatic tour. She was due to go to Lièhuǒ after her visit to Packilvania and Sigeta, but she returned on the advice of her doctor, the Presidential Administration said in a statement. Her status is still unknown at this time.

[POLITICS] Libertarians, under the watch of intelligence services

The executive director of the Federal Intelligence Service, Alex Petros, said that the Libertarian Party was placed under surveillance on the grounds that the party’s program and political status contravene the constitution. He added that there are suspicions that former sympathizers of the National League are within the party.

“All campaigns, communications, financing and official meetings of the Libertarian Party will be closely monitored by officers of the Federal Intelligence Service. In the investigations conducted so far, it has been found that the organization’s campaigns have used themes and language characteristic of ligarchist and fascist discourse,” the intelligence chief said.

This is not the first time that the far-right has come under the authorities’ sights. Earlier this year, the Alliance for Liberty (which later merged with other parties to form the Libertarian Party) was banned in several regions, decisions that were confirmed by both the High Court and the Constitutional Court.

[POLITICS] Scandal in the Constituent Assembly

Several members of the Constituent Assembly from the Libertarian Party and the Agrarian Party caused a scandal during the debate on military neutrality in the constitution. They repeatedly interrupted the speeches of the other members of the assembly, some of them even threatening others with beatings.

“I ask the members of the assembly to maintain order during the plenary session. If you cannot do this, then leave the hall.”

Thus began the first meeting of the Constituent Assembly, with screams and chants from the right-wing members. Not even the president of the session, Alina Meyer, who repeatedly warned that they would have to leave the hall if they continued to interrupt the plenary session, could stop them.

“Do you want us to be vulnerable to the forces hostile to the country, to be forced to give up our homeland? Aren’t you ashamed to continue with this stupid aberration?” declared Mihai Remișceanu.

Finally, Alina Meyer threatened that those who continue to disrupt the plenary session will be removed from the Constituent Assembly, which seems to have dampened the spirits of the opposition. The proposal to keep military neutrality in the constitution passed the assembly vote with 300 votes in favor, 163 against and 37 abstentions.

[INTERNAL] Droughts and floods are becoming more frequent, experts warn

Experts from the Federal Institute for Hydrology and Water Management (FIHWM) draw attention to the increase in drought durations and the increased number of flood warnings in the last five years.

According to their report, if concrete measures are not taken, several localities will be forced to rationalize water consumption. Among the areas most affected by the drought are Sticlari Island and the north of Cimeu Island, as well as the extreme northwest of the country.

Last year alone, over 20 hydrological warnings of orange and red drought codes were issued, for a total duration of almost three and a half months. Several farmers were forced to increase prices due to losses caused by the drought. One example is that of Ghiță Mihalache, whose agricultural land is located three kilometers from Averetea.

“We lost about half of the wheat harvest this summer, from November-December to April […] It’s not easy at all lately, we’re losing tons of cereals. There are weeks and even months when there’s no water for irrigation, the land becomes dry. I know others whose fields caught fire,” said Ghiță.

There’s no good news about the floods either. This year brought the most disastrous floods on record. Those in Fomalhaut, in April, were among the worst, causing the deaths of 12 people and damages of over 12.3 million lei. The mountainous areas and the regions in the west and south are the most affected by the floods.

[INTERNAL] President Hellen Portman, in good health

The Presidential Administration has issued an official statement stating that President Helen Portman is in good health and that she had to return for a regular check-up. According to the same statement, Portman will not continue her visit to Lièhuǒ, but will meet with the country’s head of state at the next CIN summit, which will be held in Beiras.

President Helen Portman suffers from a mild form of tricuspid insufficiency, a disease of the tricuspid valve of the heart. She was asked by her cardiologist to return to the country for a check-up.

[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 Populist 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 Populists 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.

[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] Major political scandal in Shimajiro

A major scandal is brewing in Shimajiro’s political scene after some of the country’s port development funds went missing. According to Shimajiro Today, at least 14.2 billion yen was transferred to accounts held by companies with ties to political donors.

Shimajiro’s Vice Chancellor, Midori Saitou, has denied any involvement in the scandal, even though she approved the contracts earlier this year. Since the scandal began, she has been called to resign and has faced criticism, including from within her own party. Chancellor Sayuri Fujimura has not yet commented on the new information from the investigation.

[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. The Federal Government announced that it could not allocate more substantial funds for the East Atlalandr mission in order to avoid increasing the budget deficit, which has already reached 1.2% of GDP.

[POLITICS] Remișceanu, removed from the leadership of the Libertarian Party

The regional leaders of the Libertarian Party met last night at the party headquarters to decide the fate of Mihai Remișceanu, voting in favor of his removal from the party leadership. The vote was initiated by the president of the regional branch in Severigea, Steve Wilson, who motivated this decision by the fact that the party’s image has worsened under Remișceanu’s leadership, also criticizing the party’s lack of public condemnation of the attack in Corova on September 20.

“Under the current leadership, we have seen what it means to do nothing to improve your image and that is why we proposed the dismissal of Mr. Remișceanu from the party leadership. We remained silent at the very time when we should have condemned the actions of some, which cost us a lot,” Wilson declared in an intervention for NLB News.

Until a new leadership is elected, Steve Wilson will be the acting president of the political party.

[INTERNAL] The Federal Government, reluctant to adopt austerity measures

Limbo has already reached a budget deficit of 1.2% of gross domestic product, but the government seems hesitant to adopt spending-cutting measures. Prime Minister Odobescu said in a press conference that a plan is being worked on to address the deficit, but he assured that there will be no layoffs or cuts in salaries or benefits in the public sector.

“I want to clarify that we have a staff shortage in quite a few areas, such as education or health. What is really needed is to reform the Federal Tax Administration Service, to tackle tax evasion and to ensure that people with higher incomes or companies with high profits pay their share,” he said.

Several programs run by the Federal Government were suspended indefinitely at the end of September.

[INTERNAL] Bomb threats ahead of anti-fascist protest in Bergstad. Federal Police: 'This is not an isolated case.'

Anti-fascist protests continue nationwide, but not without incident. In Bergstad, police reportedly received an anonymous bomb threat at the same location where the student protest was supposed to take place, where a suspicious package was found. However, it did not contain explosives, but empty bags.

This was not the only incident last week, according to the Federal Police. Similar threats were also made in Corova, Herera and Matrolinsk.

[INTERNAL] Populists propose a change in the political system

The Populist members of the Constituent Assembly have proposed a change to the political system. They propose reducing the number of members of the Federal Council to 13, composed of regional governors. Another proposal is to increase the number of deputies in the Council of Deputies and add midterm elections (which would take place halfway through the president’s term).

In addition to these proposals, the citizens’ initiative is also listed, which can be at both regional and federal levels. Through this mechanism, citizens will be able to propose laws or request the organization of a referendum on a law voted by Parliament or any regional council, as well as the possibility of them initiating an impeachment referendum of governors or the president.

Also, the judges of the Constitutional Court will not be able to be appointed on political criteria, as they will have to have not been active in any political party for at least 10 years before being nominated for office. The Court will also be able to suspend the autonomy of a region if the regional government uses excessive force against the opposition.

The proposals for the new constitution will be voted on at the next meeting of the Assembly, which will take place on October 10.

[INTERNAL] Representatives of student organizations met with the interim leadership of the Libertarians

After three weeks of intense anti-fascist student protests, representatives of student organizations met with the interim leadership of the Libertarian Party, led by Steve Wilson, at party headquarters. They demanded that the party abandon ultranationalism and ligarchism, adopt a more moderate manifesto, and condemn all forms of far-right terrorism.

The meeting lasted three hours, during which protests continued across the country. Representatives of student organizations left the headquarters around 18:00, declaring that no agreement had been reached.

“We tried to give the Libertarians a chance to right their wrongs, but they apparently did not want to be cooperative and understand us. Even though the party has changed its leadership, it is still the same as before: a fascist organization that endangers our unity and rights. The protests will continue until both we, the student organizations, and the unions, decide to stop them by mutual agreement,” declared the president of the Federation of Student Organizations in Limbo.

On the same day, the Libertarian Party issued a press release stating the following:

“Although the interim leadership of the Libertarian Party, in office since 1 October 2025, assured the representatives of the student organizations that the party will never attack the citizens’ rights in the constitution, the decision was made to refuse their requests due to the fact that such a decision cannot be made by an interim leadership, and they contravene the right to free expression guaranteed by the constitution.”

[INTERNAL] Passenger train derailed near Filimon

[INTERNAL] Disprogaz remains on the stock market. LegaPetro refuses to sell its shares to the state.

The Federal Government has already started the procedures for purchasing shares in state-owned companies listed on the stock exchange that it only partially owns, however, not all of them are willing to sell their shares to the executive. LegaPetro, the foreign company that owns 45% of Disprogaz shares, has refused the government’s offer to sell its shares.

“LegaPetro Limbo S.A., a branch of Livá Leganeásle Petrozhún Rostár Sofiedát, considers the offer from the Federal Government of the Limboese Republic to sell our own shares to it to be inconsistent with the legal provisions in force regarding the administration of public companies on the territory of the Limboese Republic, as well as with the agreements between LegaPetro representatives and the Limboese state from 2005 and 2016,” the company said in a press release.

The head of the Federal Department of Development, Energy, Infrastructure and Transport, Sara Avram, said that the department will continue to consult with the company’s representatives to eventually reach an agreement.

“If an agreement is not reached by the time the new constitution is adopted, of course if it passes the referendum, then the state will have to resort to terminating the agreements with the company and taking it over through nationalization. This will be because the new constitution will clearly state that the Limboese state owns the country’s natural resources,” Avram said in a press conference.

[INTERNAL] Fomalhautian Cultural Days, celebrated in Bergstad. Karl Adler: 'Three centuries ago, we finally remembered who our ancestors really were.'

Feast and joy in Bergstad, where the Fomalhautian Cultural Days are taking place during this period. Over 9,000 people have so far celebrated the culture and history of the Fomalhautians and the founding of the Fomalhautian Ethalrian Identity Movement in Saint Julian’s Square. There were several stalls selling traditional food, clothing and cultural clothing.

Yesterday, the Chancellor of Fomalhaut, Karl Adler, also attended the opening of the festivities.

“A few centuries after the founding of the Limboese state, our region was invaded by Ethalrians. Over time, they took control of Fomalhaut, creating the Principality of Fomalhaut, imposing policies of Ethalrianization and forced conversion of the indigenous population to Thaerism. It was only in the 18th century, three centuries ago, that we finally remembered who our ancestors really were. That is why we do not consider ourselves purely Ethalrian, but also not purely Limboese,” he said in a speech.

The Fomalhautian Cultural Days are organized every year between October 12 and 16. This year is the 20th edition.

[POLITICS] Populists have reached a record number of party registrations. Next congress of the Limboese People's Party, planned for October.

The LCP has already reached 600,000 members. After surpassing this impressive number, the party announced that the next congress of the People’s Party will take place next month, where attendance will be both physical and online for party members who cannot make it to Herera.

“During this congress, the first leadership of the party and the youth organization will be elected, followed by the organization of local and regional branches. We have a lot of members, and this shows us that a change for the better is desired in this country,” said Gabi Andreescu, the party’s interim Secretary-General.

Currently, the Limboese People’s Party is growing in the number of members, as well as in the preferences of voters, being the second largest party and the first most popular party in the country.

[INTERNAL] FCIOCT takes over the investigation of the Corova car attack. The perpetrator, accused of domestic terrorism.

The Federal Commission for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism has taken over the investigation into last month’s Corova car attack from the Prosecutor’s Office of the Corova Tribunal after the charges were raised from aggravated murder to acts of terrorism and participation in an organized criminal group. Thus, the case will be tried directly at the High Court of Cassation and Justice.

According to sources close to the investigation, there is still no evidence that the perpetrator acted at the request of another person or group of people, or that he acted against his own will. If found guilty, the attacker could be sentenced to life imprisonment.

Five other people from the “Patriotic League” organization are also being tried in the same case, including a former parliamentarian from the Alliance for Liberty, currently outside politics. They are accused of incitement to violence, complicity, the formation of an organized criminal group and acts of terrorism. The Federal Intelligence Service stated that, together with the Federal Police, they have already managed to arrest over half of the members of the extremist organization.

[INTERNAL] Several immigrants pulled from a sinking boat. Federal Border and Coast Guard to increase patrols around Sticlari Island.

A sinking boat carrying around 83 migrants of unknown nationality was intercepted by a Federal Border and Coast Guard vessel three kilometres southeast of Sticlari Island, including children. They were taken off the boat by the FBCG vessel and safely brought to shore, where they were accommodated in the Regional Migrant Shelter in Sticlari.

The Federal Department of the Interior advises anyone who sees a crowded or sinking migrant boat to call the emergency number 112 or the Federal Border and Coast Guard and encourages them to try to help until the authorities arrive on the scene.

[INTERNAL] Anti-fascist protests continue in major cities. Students demand the ban of the Libertarian Party, already under the scrutiny of the Constitutional Court.

Protests organized by the FSOL across the country continued this week, this time with a bigger demand for the authorities: a complete ban on the Libertarian Party, the far-right party that came in second place in the Constituent Assembly elections which took place this September. According to a statement from the student organization, they reattempted to negotiate with party leaders to eliminate members with fascist or ligarchist beliefs or who endanger citizens’ rights, but without success.

Fortunately, this time the protests took place without any incident. In Corova, protesters organized a vigil in memory of the 11 victims who unfortunately lost their lives in the car attack last month.

The Libertarian Party is already under the scrutiny of the Constitutional Court, after several members joked about the tragedy in Corova on social media, as well as glorifying several controversial historical figures, including Ion Oprescu. CCLR President Andreea Miroslav stated that there are suspicions that the views within the party are a danger to the Constitution and public order.

“At the moment, the issue of outlawing this political formation has not been taken into account, but we will consider it if it is believed that such a measure is necessary to protect the constitutional order,” Andreea Miroslav stated.

[INTERNAL] Elections in Sigeta: the populistswin a supermajority, György Kiss is replaced as president of the legislature.

Sigeta held new legislative elections last week, resulting in a clear victory for the People’s Party.

The new legislature is due to meet next week to elect the country’s new president.

[POLITICS] Civics do not deny a potential alliance with the Libertarians, if the latter were more moderate

In an interview, Civic Union leader Dominic Grey said he would not rule out forming an alliance with the Libertarian Party against the United Popular Front (UPF) if the Libertarians would drop certain things from their political platform. He also said a right-wing alliance was needed against the current government.

“Of course, it would be a huge risk for us to choose to ally with them, especially with what has happened in the country recently,” said Dominic Grey.

[INTERNAL] Anti-fascist protests continue across the country. Student and union representatives have reached an agreement to stop the demonstrations

Student and worker protests continued this week across the country. In the capital alone, around 25,000 people gathered in Revolution Square, while around 143,000 people protested in other major cities, demanding an urgent ban on far-right organizations. At the same time, representatives of the Federation of Student Organizations in Limbo and representatives of the Federal Trade Union Confederation agreed to stop the protests at the beginning of next week, with the last rallies to be held this weekend.

The Constitutional Court has already notified the Libertarian Party of the need to remove its far-right members, or the party will risk being banned. The decision was made public yesterday evening.

[INTERNAL] FDoA will merge with FDoCCE, Odobescu announces

Alexandru Odobescu announced today in a press conference the plan to merge the Federal Department of Agriculture with the Federal Department of Climate Change and the Environment. Thus, the number of departments within the Federal Government will decrease from 11 to 10.

The number of departments has decreased since 2006, initially being 18, after which some were merged during the Henry Pren administration to reduce state spending. The current measure was taken to “make state services more efficient and ensure cooperation between regional governments.”

[EXTERNAL] Crisis in Southeast Gondwana. Sanadze: 'A conflict started by an extremist king, continued by madmen'

Not even a month has passed since Limbo received a seat on the International Forum Security Council, and already the country’s ambassador has had to deal with the topic of a conflict.

Elene Sanadze, Limbo’s current ambassador to the IFSC, is a diplomat and former presidential advisor on foreign affairs to Helen Portman. She gave an exclusive interview to LBC Info yesterday in which she expressed her point of view on the current conflict in Southeastern Gondwana between the Kaskadan Federation, Korćetta and Stražsko.

Elene Sanadze: “The conflict started after an assassination sponsored by an extremist king, and was continued by some madmen who probably do not care about their own citizens or who are jumping to conclusions for a specific reason. The fact that some states within the Council, which I will not name, think that an arms embargo is a ‘too extreme’ measure, from my point of view at least, is a problem and I believe that they are either complicit in this conflict or that they simply do not care (…) I proposed a demilitarized zone between Kaskadan Federation and Korćetta, when it was not yet known that Stražsko would declare war on Korćetta. At the moment I am consulting with people from Foreign Affairs (FDoFAD), with Mrs. Tonova, with other foreign policy experts from the University of Corinești on this issue.”

[POLITICS] Civics, Libertarians and Agrarians are reviving the Liberal Union. The left compares the alliance to the old PROLIB

The leadership of the Limboese Civic Union, the Libertarian Party and the Agrarian Party have reached an agreement to form an alliance between the three parties. This alliance will replace the former Liberal Union, using its same name. Thus, the political scene in the country is divided into two camps: that of the United Popular Front, and that of the Liberal Union.

Alina Meyer, the current president of the Constituent Assembly, criticized the decision on social networks.

“Although the right-wing parties are trying to repair their image after what happened this year, they have done nothing more than re-establish the PROLIB alliance. An argument for this is the fact that the alliance is composed of almost the same politicians,” she said in a post.

Some experts believe that the Libertarian Party agreed to be part of this alliance after it was placed under the supervision of the Federal Intelligence Service and the Constitutional Court on suspicion that the party was a danger to the constitutional order, thus giving the impression that the party had adopted a more moderate stance from an ideological point of view.

[POLITICS] The right is losing in the latest opinion polls. Civics, in last place in voters' preferences

A poll conducted by LISPS places the United Popular Front in first place, with 63.4% of respondents choosing the left-wing alliance. This is followed by the Liberal Union, with only 26.6%. Of those surveyed, almost 10% said they did not know what they would choose or that they would not choose either of the two alliances.

Divided by party, the Populists are placed in first place, accumulating around 42.5%, followed by the Labor Party with 20.9%.

In the case of the right, this is represented in first place by the Libertarians, with 15.2%, followed by the Agrarians, with 7.2%. The Civics received only 4.2%, a decrease of 31.5 percentage points compared to their result in last year’s elections, when Odobescu was the party leader.

Political scientists attribute this decline of the right-wing in polls to the purge of left-wing members from the Limboese Civic Union, as well as the scandal in which the Libertarian Party was involved, caused by the tragedy in Corova during the anti-fascist protests.

[INTERNAL] New details emerge regarding the Corova car attack. The Patriotic League, designated a terrorist group by the government

The Federal Commission for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism has released a press release providing new details about the investigation into the car attack in Corova, which took place on September 20. According to FCIOCT prosecutors, the “Patriotic League” organization was directly involved in the terrorist attack, having been planned since the day the protests were announced by the Federation of Student Organizations in Limbo.

Prosecutors also suspect that the organization, which has since been designated as a terrorist group by the Federal Government, received financial support from abroad, but this claim is not yet fully considered due to the current lack of evidence.

Details about the attacker have also been made public. It is George Muraru, a 32-year-old man from Preston, CL. He has been largely uncooperative with investigators, according to the statement, but said he joined the organization three years ago, in 2022.

As for the organization itself, the Patriotic League is an ultranationalist, far-right fundamentalist organization that seeks the creation of a theocratic dictatorship led by the Lapideist Lodge, as well as the deportation of all “undesirable” groups. The latter stated, after the press release was published, that governance should be done by democratically elected officials, not by a religious institution.

[POLITICS] Conflict within the Liberal Union over a potential adoption of the Kirib: Civics want it, Libertarians oppose it.

Formed just two weeks ago, the Liberal Union is already experiencing internal conflicts over a completely hypothetical issue: the adoption of the Kirib as the country’s official currency. This proposal was put forward by the interim leader of the Civics, Dominic Grey, under the pretext that such a measure would grow the economy and attract more investment. However, the Libertarians and some of the Populists opposed it, saying that such a measure would mean that the Bank of Limbo would lose the right to make decisions regarding the country’s monetary policy.

Dominic Grey: “I do not believe that such a measure will have a negative impact on the Limboese citizens, and even more so it will attract more foreign investors to our country.”

Steve Wilson: “The adoption of a new currency, without prior analysis of the current situation in the country’s economy and whether or not it will have a negative effect.”

The interim leader of the Libertarian Party pointed out that such a measure is similar to the one proposed by the Populists, to adopt a common currency with Sigeta, stating that he would not support such a measure, if it were ever proposed. He also threatened that his party would leave the alliance if the Civic Union proposed it again, even in a hypothetical context.

[INTERNAL] Muraru pleads guilty before the High Court. The convict, to receive the maximum sentence on three counts.

George Muraru, the man who intentionally drove into a crowd during the Corova protest on September 20, was in front of the judges of the High Court of Cassation and Justice, in Herera, for the fourth day. We remind readers that, at the beginning of the trial, he admitted his guilt for aggravated murder, but pleaded not guilty to the charges of acts of terrorism and participation in an organized criminal group.

Also on this day, Muraru learned the verdict of the High Court judges, finding him guilty of aggravated murder, acts of terrorism and participation in an organized criminal group, thus receiving a life sentence.

In the coming days, other members of the Patriotic League are also expected to appear before the judges.

[INTERNAL] Human Front International, banned from Limbo.

The Federal Government today adopted an emergency ordinance banning several extremist organizations from operating in the country. Among them is the Human Front International, an extremist organization whose branches have been banned in several countries around the world.

The organization used to operate in the province of Fomalhaut through the Humanist Ethalrian Union, a self-described cultural organization supported by the Fomalhaut Freedom Front, a party that was banned by a final decision made by the High Court on 2 May.

[INTERNAL] Bill on climate migrants, tacitly adopted by the Constituent Assembly

A bill submitted by several members of the United Popular Front in the Constituent Assembly on climate migration was tacitly adopted by the assembly. It states that people living in regions severely affected by the climate crisis will be able to receive refuge in Limbo, without having to go through the long bureaucratic process that most refugees have to go through.

The text of the bill also stipulates that this will not apply to people living in areas severely affected by climate change who are citizens of countries responsible for a large part of carbon dioxide emissions, who will have to go through the usual procedure for migration. This will particularly affect citizens of petrostates.

The bill will reach President Portman’s desk for promulgation.

[ECONOMY] Disprogaz, one step away from being nationalized. LegaPetro Limbo SA refused the Government's plan to acquire its shares

LegaPetro Limbo SA has rejected for the second time an offer from the Federal Government to acquire its shares in the company Disprogaz. The company stated in a press release that they considered the amount offered by the Government to acquire its shares to be far too low compared to the amounts of money they had invested.

The offer stated that the state would have to pay the total amount in several installments over ten years, a period reduced from the 15 years originally proposed. The Federal Secretary for Development, Sara Avram, held a press conference in Hexagon today on this subject.

Sara Avram: “I find the reaction from LegaPetro Limbo quite disappointing, especially considering that during the last consultations with them, we were told that the amount proposed by the Government for the acquisition was sufficient, but seeing the company’s latest statement, I don’t think there are very high chances of being able to recover the old Disprogaz, and that is why I have asked the competent authorities to conduct an analysis on the effects of a potential nationalization of the company.”

The Federal Secretary of Development’s plan for nationalization was received positively by her colleagues in the coalition, as well as by several of the Populists. The Civics, on the other hand, had a less positive reaction, considering that such a measure could scare away potential foreign investors.

[EXTERNAL] Portman takes Sanadze's side in the mini-conflict with Tretrid

President Hellen Portman visited Herera today as part of a tour around the country, where she was warmly welcomed in the former capital of Limbo. She held a press conference at the Youth House, where several reporters asked her about her position on the feud between Limbo’s ambassador to the International Forum Security Council, Elena Sanadze, and the government of the Kingdom of Tretrid. On this subject, Portman stated the following:

“(…) my official position, as President of the Limboese Republic, is the one expressed by the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and Diplomacy in the statement that was made public. In case you are referring to my personal position, I believe that this dispute is completely unnecessary, especially considering that a letter of protest to our country will not help anything in the current context of Gondwana.

Ms. Ambassador Sanadze only expressed her personal opinion formed on the basis of a cultural lens, which we all use when we form an opinion on something. To be clear, I have a great deal of admiration for Ms. Sanadze, especially considering her career as a diplomat, and I firmly believe that her statements were not made to harm the image of any other state.”

Portman is currently on a national tour in which she aims to find out people’s attitudes towards the measures taken by the government, but also their needs. Unlike the visits that former presidents organized to the country, she traveled by train and was accompanied by only two bodyguards.

[POLITICS] The campaign for the leadership of the Limboese People's Party has begun. Odobescu, among the favorites for Secretary-General of the LPP.

Several people have announced their intention to run for the leadership of the People’s Party, including the current Prime Minister, Alexandru Odobescu. The candidates will be voted on in two rounds by party members next month during the party’s 26th Congress. Although there is still time until the Congress takes place, it is already expected to be a close race between Odobescu and the current interim Secretary-General of the party, Gabi Andreescu.

Another completely unexpected scenario is that the Congress is canceled until after the composition of the new constitution by the Constituent Assembly, so that President Hellen Portman can run for the party leadership. Asked by journalists, she denied that she will rejoin the LPP.

[INTERNAL] Anti-marine poaching bill, voted in the Constituent Assembly. Coast Guard, to patrol border areas and protected areas.

An environmental protection bill passed the Constituent Assembly with 300 votes in favor, 163 against and 37 abstentions. It provides for tougher penalties for illegal fishing during the fish breeding season, as well as fishing in protected waters, which will now be classified as poaching and punished with fines of over 150,000 lei (♅ 62,500), confiscation of the vessel, or even imprisonment.

In the case of foreign-flagged vessels, they do not have the right to enter the country’s territorial waters for the purpose of fishing. However, if these vessels are caught red-handed, they will now be confiscated instead of being expelled as before.

This bill requires the Federal Border and Coast Guard to patrol protected areas and the border area with greater frequency. In addition, the deployment of anti-trawling devices is also foreseen.

The bill is now on President Portman’s desk for promulgation.
