Nightly recap

° Growing number of nationalist party senators reportedly "uncomfortable" with Bill 1134 put to the floor today by the PM for vote for official debate. Bill would legalize medicinal & reactional use of Marijuana. Debate vote was 29-20 YAY with the rest of the Nationalist Conference abstaining. Although it passed to floor debate, this represents HRM's first major political hurdle as in the past nationalist party support for kings was ironclad.

° Unconfirmed reports are funds to be raised from the taxes placed on selling of cannabis to be routed to unspecified military project R&D.

° PM to summon Foreign Minister Montoya (NCRA) to palace tomorrow. Reasons unconfirmed currently.

BREAKING

° PM has instructed Foreign Minister Montoya to address his ambassadors, Vice Ministers, other staff, etc, to reign in their more reactionary strategems. Montoya is an ardent nationalist who is on record saying that the kingdom "shouldn't consort with Communist, Socialist, or left of center nations." It is believed this order is actually coming from the palace in a move to make the Royal Administration seem more moderate/centrist.

° Debate on Bill 1134 continues. Three nationalist senators have so far walked out. King being updated on situation.

° Their are rumblings in the SDU Conference that confidence in Minority Speaker Albarra is nearing a record low. This is from an anonymous Paige. A No Confidence vote could be in the near future.

"Let it be recorded that a seeming majority of the Nationalist Conference has walked out. Furthermore, before this loose coalition can be assembled, I would not be doing my due diligence as leader of the Social Democratic Conference without demanding to know exactly where the procured funds from the high tax to be placed upon the sale of cannabis is to go. It desperately needs to be routed to our lacking social safety nets. MODEST is quite generous in describing them. Far too so. The current tech and mech levels for the national and archipelagic defense, we believe, are quite sufficient. Since His Majesty is here in choosing to observe this session, I would like to remind him that, constitutionally, that is all he is allowed to do. With respect.....I hope you can find it in your conscience, while observing, to agree. A society should always be judged by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens.

I agree with Majority Speaker Torres in that the final vote should be postponed until tomorrow as there is still whipping to do. Our conference's majority support is not final yet. I should advise the more moderate members of the Nationalist Conference still seated to expect revisions proposed to this current bill tomorrow. I yield the rest of my allotted time."

-Minority Speaker Manuel Albarra

° Nacional Senado de el Archipiélago has just passed a NO CONFIDENCE Vote on sitting NCRA PM Enrique Suarez. Reportedly because of "His inept inaction on this ongoing crisis and open rebellion." according to one nationalist senator.

Vote was 80-20. 20 NCRA senators held the party line. They're known as the more moderate faction. 36 turned on Suarez. Every Social Democratic senator (NSDU) voted YAY. As did the body's lone Independent.

According to the Second Constitution of 1850, once a No Confidence vote passes, a vote to temporarily bestow upon the monarch emergency powers must be held. Procedural debate already underway within nationalist conference.

We could see the first snap election in Justosian history. No Confidence votes have passed before. Against the prior 2 NSDU PMs of the 1900's. However since the Second Constitution, a reigning Justosian monarch has never had the absolute powers his ancestors had returned to him.

The following is transcript from the just concluded nationally televised, emergency broadcast from His Archipiélagic Majesty King Carlos Francisco III:

"This December first, twenty twenty three. Year of our Lord. My fellow patriots, countrymen of the archipiélago, hello. I needn't introduce myself. You know who I am.....


-Pauses-
-States at self on TV for a couple seconds-


Like we both know, I'm not the speaker my padre was. He was brash, and confident. To confront the mammoth challenges of his reign I suppose he had to be. My tact, is different. I am presenting to you the hard facts. What you see and hear around you currently the is midst of a national and constitutional crisis. For too long we've tolerated or simply overlooked the flaws, incomplete clauses and amendments from the Second Constitution that didn't, couldn't have stood the test of time. That's part of why these flaws metastasized into mortal threats to the government in my name. The violent protests you see down south in Cadiz and Ceretia are symptoms of the sickness.

For more than fifty years now we've marginalized and in some cases, persecuted what is close to the other half of our voting population. Those who support the minority opposition party. Democrats, leftists, still Justosians. A sidelined sect of a society will only endure such trifles for so long before snapping into inter generational action. Their disdain, angst, and disappointment finally boiled over. This is truly regrettable.

Now our archipiélagic peace is threatened. Our way of life. I take my constitutional duties before God very, very seriously. As such the duly elected government, Senado, in my name, is now, hereby, duly dissolved in my name. As my abuelo's reign oversaw the decriminalization and legalization of certain leftist political parties, mine will see the end of this Social Democrático left, Nacionalista right grudge match. I am mandating snap elections. I am also dissolving the highly flawed, bias, Capital Court. Each district will see to the resolution of their highest legal matters within their high courts temporarily. A nation that wants to fashion itself as an evolved, legitimate player on Eras must not have a lop sided, rubber stamp high court. After a new Senado is sworn in, I am calling on them to initiate a Constitutional Conference to expand the court to nine members from seven. If they vote to rescind my emergency powers, I will of course accept this.

I will not allow this civil unrest to deepen into a chasm that threatens our national existence. Lastly I am inviting every AWOL member of the air force and army to the palace. To have dinner with me, personally. I want to talk with you. Brother to brothers. My God bless you. Viva Justosia."
