Madame FPM Jeanne Pierre and foreign minister Joséphine Blanchet, meet with the Tano government-in-exile, Sultana J’alice iz-Beneri at the Chantilly. While the majority of the meeting with the Sultana J’alice iz-Beneri was a closed doors meeting. The meeting with the Tano government was criticized by the United Corporatocracies of Concordian States Government, citing the meeting would increase tensions and further radicalization of certain extreme but small factions within the state. Regardless of the criticism from the UCCS, the meeting was held on the tenth anniversary of the Dverian War, which led to the Kerilo Accords and the illegal annexation of Tano, and was met with local supporters and Tanoese refugees as well as the Tanoese diaspora within the Federation. Meanwhile in Tano state itself, there have been reports of widespread protests and civil disobedience to Concordian Federal officials.
At the end of the meeting, Madame Pierre pledged Côtois support to the Tanoese legitimate government and reaffirmed Côtois denouncement of imperialism by the Corporatocracy of Concord. The Federation will be hosting the Tanoese government-in-exile, and offer Fontenay-aux-Roses province in Jarldom of Østland as a seat. As well the Bastion de Belmiers, to the Sultana as temporary living quarters, though the Sultana must still follow orders and rulings from the petite-nationale on historical society. To make it clear, the Federation is not giving up governing nor administrative control of the province, but is assisting with funding for the government in exile. Fontenay-aux-Roses, having the largest Tanoese diaspora within the Federation and was met with approval by the supporters there. In addition to assisting with funding of the legitimate government of Tano, funds have been marked for Tanoese cultural projects and plans to open a cultural center within the province in early 2026.
For those who have not kept up on Iturian history, the Dverian War was a three month long invasion by the Corporatocracy of Concord and its subsidiaries Vekaiyu and Volkia against the free nations of Dveria and Tano. The creation of the Kerilo Accord illegally enabled the annexation of these independent nations by the three corporate culprits. Dveria was split north and south between Volkia and Vekaiyu, while Tano, the largest piece, was taken by the Corporatocracy and has been under its direct oppressive control since.
The Sultana held a small speech after the meeting was finished to a crowd of her supporters. “Be steadfast my comrades, my compatriots, my friends. One day soon, we will be rid of our corporate slave masters! Be strong for the glory of the Tanoese! We will retake our beloved homeland once again, we will be free once more from the capitalist dogs feasting on our bones and force out the colonizers of Concord. Together in hand with our staunch allies, we will revolt against their tyranny and oppression. Ushering a new area of peace, enlightenment and socialism in our homeland. As such, I am pleased to announce with assistance from our good friends in the Chantilly. We are reforming our government, to be one true to the people unlike those rapists on Concord. We will be hosting a conference in Belmier to best organize our Monarcho-Socialist reforms and constitution. Yelena Protect Us and our Revolution.”
