Thousands of Progressive Party supporters march in support of bureaucratic reform

Magicality City - The North Pacific
Freedom has long been heralded as the key to an active and thriving community. The North Pacifican Bill of Rights guarantees each nation the rights to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom from oppression. Wars have been fought to defend these rights, wars whose scars have yet to heal. Believing that freedom is the key to civic engagement, nations are encouraged to work peacefully for the good the region.
But lately that belief is being challenged
It wasn't long after the formation of the Progressive Party of the North Pacific, a group of concerned citizens working towards reform and a more civil discourse, that the Delegate, Grosseschnauzer, driven by paranoia, began to threaten and harass its members in the name of regional security.
The Delegate has repeatedly accused this peaceful assemblage of nations of conspiring against the Administration, labeling them a, "self-appointed group" who have,"seized control of the judiciary, taken control of the Regional Assembly and imported new residents who... hold little value in the longstanding democratic traditions and principles of this, our home region."
How did the Progressive Party "seize" control? Did they eject the sitting justices to the Rejected Realms? Did they purge the Regional Assembly of all dissenters? No, they used the ballot box. No coup, no tyrant, no war, only democracy - a democracy the Delegate, who also served as the Chief Justice, swore to protect.
Over the past several weeks the Delegate, his party and supporters have relentlessly attacked citizens associated with the Progressive Party. Pasargad, a member of the Delegate's Democratic Confederation of the North Pacific, began an unendorsement campaign against Grimalkin, a Progressive Party supporter, after declaring him a security threat, all without the permission of the Security Council who immediately condemned Pasargad's actions by a 3-1 vote. On another occasion a member of the Delegate's cabinet,Govindia (Assistant Delegate for Internal Affairs) demanded that the region's IRC channel be shutdown due to "inactivity", never mind that as I write this there are eighteen members there having lively discussions.
We cannot tolerate oppression of any group in The North Pacific no matter what their political philosophy might be. We ought to stand together and support each other because without that the region is nothing. The community nothing. We are nothing.
