Tardine's Election of 2024

OOC:
The Greater Tardineanni Empire is once again a democratic nation. Is the new democracy stronger than the previous one? Some will say yes, while many others have their doubts. Specially after the many threats to the national sovereignty that they have been under in the last few years.

After the Coup of 2021, Ekron Johak's claim to the throne. the Military Junta and Jasemir's return, the masses are eager to partake in elections and thus, decide the future of the nation. While the results are obvious to many, with Klaiden Risvie definitely winning at the end, the most important here is the process.

How did Klaiden manage to win despite the many doubts that are being cast towards his short rule? Will the same political parties have the control of Tardine's politics as they did before? If not, who's going to rise and take their place? Also, who are going to be the new Provincial Presidents? How is going to be composed the new elected Parliament? What new political parties will be created?

It shall be unveiled in this thread.

Tardine's political parties (before the lift on the prohibition) are the following:
​

The first candidate to run his application and also the former Prime Minister, Klaiden Sergonianni Risvie, will be the first one interviewed in the new Tardineanni Royal series.​

Klaiden Sergonianni Risvie was born in 1982, on the city of Olmongeter. Grandson of Pofred Risvie, he had a close relationship with his grandfather, despite their political views differing in many aspects. Being a political activist since his youth, he went to Kardenccia's University and graduated in Law (2005), where he also mastered in International Law (2008). He affiliated to the Liberal Democrats party (Kuraccin Demokratisen) in 2009, beginning his political career as a councilman in 2011. He aimed even higher and went for the Priatossen Kambera in the National Elections of 2015, where he would stay until Werdoi's Coup of 2021.

Immediately after the deposition of Ekron Johak, Klaiden affiliated to the newly formed Military Junta and moved to Miccan, where he would be partaking in the negotiations with the central government. He was also the idealizer of the Miss Tardine Event in the Semi-autonomous Republic of Mardokash. When the Junta set foot in the Capital, ending the war, he was chosen as Acting General Governor then elected as Emperor by the people's will. Shortly after Emperor Jasemir's return, he was also appointed as Acting Prime Minister until new elections could be held.

After Mr. Risvie's life briefing, we shall move onto the interview, which will be conducted by Soraja Theodosi, our specially designed journalist to interview all candidates of the 2024 election.​

Soraja: Good morning, Mister Risvie. My name is Soraja Theodosi and I'm the one assigned to interview you.

Klaiden: When you say it like that it's almost as if interviewing me is a burden.

Both laugh, lightheartedly.

Soraja: Not at all! I'm delighted to be interviewing someone with such a background.

Klaiden: We'll I'm sure you must have many questions to me. Do your worst, I don't mind.

Soraja: I'll start with the simple ones then move to the more delicate ones.

Klaiden: Sounds good to me.

Soraja: Please take note that the questions are meant to unveil both your personal character and your political views to the Tardineannen.

The interviewer makes a pause then looks at her notes, before talking again.

Soraja: What would you say your biggest life goal is?

Klaiden: Well, didn't you say you wouldn't begin with the hard ones? But yeah, I'll say my main life goal is to make the world a better place to live. Starting with our homeland.

Soraja: What's your biggest fear?

Klaiden: Letting my family down.

Soraja: Why did you chose to pursue the political career?

Klaiden: Because I thought it was the best way to achieve my goal and... Well, I huh, had some influences, you could say.

Soraja: The next one is a bit tricky and has to do with what you just said.

Klaiden: Uh oh, I can see it coming. Ask away, please.

Soraja: How much would you say the relationship with your grandfather has molded your political views?

Klaiden: Although we were really close, my gramps had little to zero influence on my political views. However, he was the one who encouraged me to pursue the political career and to stand up for what I believed despite not agreeing with me always.

Soraja: How does Social Liberalism fit into twenty first century Tardine?

Klaiden: The main objective of Social Liberalism and the Liberal Democrats party is to ensure that everyone has access to quality of life, independently of political views, religion and place of origin. I believe the principles of any developed nation should be equal opportunities to all, with the government ensuring that the people has the basics granted.

After all, no one can work properly if they can't eat, if they aren't healthy, if they worry about their children being alone at home or about their own safety. As for the twenty first century Tardine, it fits perfectly with the development of nation. We must be going forward to the future, balancing the people's needs with the economic growth.

Soraja: Many people have been criticizing the increase on the budget for welfare while the inflation is still uncontrolled, along with the purposeful depreciation of the currency. What would you say to the critics and what are the plans to the future?

Klaiden: To the critics, I say all of our decisions were made based on scientific and statistical data after careful analysis and assessment of the situation. The objective is to have a fast recovery in which the people won't pay the price for it. We have all goals set to the next few years, to put the nation back in the development track, in the plan of government. As the saying goes, 'lose a bit today and you will double it tomorrow'.

Besides the economic recovery, future plans include go back to the moon by the end of the decade, attract more immigrants and increase the HDI. We also shall strengthen the relations with friendly nations and be military ready to deal with the rogue countries that have been increasing their barking.

Soraja: Those were all questions for today. Thank you for being here, Mr. Risvie!

Klaiden: I'm glad to be here as well. Thank you too, Ms. Theodosi.​

President of the Presumikasen party and renowned entrepreneur, Janette Alvarenga Derossa, will be the second aspirant to the Prime Minister office interviewed in the new Tardineanni Royal series.​

Janette Alvarenga Derossa was born in 1964, on the city of San Martin. The family's company, Derossa Buildings, was one of the responsible for the construction of the new capital, Kardenccia, which she also participated as the Head of Operations. Ms. Derossa graduated in Economy on the San Martinese Academy (1996), mastered in Economic Policy on the Royal Institute of Social Sciences (1999), in Vivankia. On the city of Vivankia, during her master course, she would also start her political career, serving two term councilwoman (1998-2003, 2004-2006) then one as province deputy (2007-2011) under the Presumikasen, which she affiliated in 1997.

On the elections of 2011, she got elected with 59.6% of the votes in the second round as the Province President of Treviso deo Norte. She ran again for the office in 2016 and got elected with 68.5% of the votes on the first round. Ms. Derossa was in charge of the province and chose to stay neutral until the terrorist attack on Mardokash, when she declared full support on the Junta. She also had to fight the invasion of The Silver Arms and was Province President until she resigned to apply for the office on April 18th.

After Ms. Derossa's life summary, we shall move onto the interview, also conducted by Soraja Theodosi, our specially designed journalist to interview all candidates of the 2024 election.​

Soraja: Good afternoon, Miss Derossa. I am Soraja Theodosi and I am the one who shall interview you.

Janette: Thank you, Miss Theodosi. I am truly honored to be here, in the Capital, after so many years. May I call you Soraja?

Soraja: Why, of course. May I also call you Janette?

Janette: Please, I love informal interviews.

The interviewer nods and agreement then goes through her notes, before talking again.
Soraja: I must tell you that all questions have been carefully picked to help the voters decide on both your character and political views.

Janette: With the Tardineanni people interests in my mind, please begin.

Soraja: What would you say you are most passionate about?

Janette: In the first place, my family. Paulo, my loving husband, and my two children, Natalia and Antonio. In second place but no less important, the people who count with me. Be it my friends, or the entire Tardineanni population, I aim to not let anyone down. The people might have noticed it from how did I conduct Treviso deo Norte on these almost 15 years on the office, I tried to balance things as much as possible.

Soraja: You just said your family is something you are very passionate about. How would you say your family's support helps you on the tough choices one needs to make in the office?

Janette: My family is everything to me. Whenever I had to do some though choices, as you said well, I'd think about my children and what kind of world I wanted them to live on.

Soraja: What made you choose the Presumikasen, among all other parties?

Janette: I believe in the firm and inevitable gear of progress. All choices we make now will lead us to the future and it's up to us whether this future will be bright, or we'll fall into another age of darkness. The Presumikasen is the party that shares the same beliefs as me, and, with my knowledge on economic policies, we ought to find workable ways to reach the bright destiny we Tardineannen deserve.

Soraja: The next few ones a bit harder and revolve around some controversial topics.

Janette: Well, I feel ready for whatever you throw to me.

Soraja: Yours family company, Derossa Buildings Inc., now faces a lawsuit accused of underpaying employees, giving them less than the minimum wage and being charged also due to alleged insalubrious working conditions. What comments do you have on the situation?

Janette: While I am not allowed to comment in ongoing investigations, I can tell you, and to all Tardineannen, that despite me not being in charge of the company anymore, with my brother Carillo being now the CEO, I am faithful that the truth will come out. I can also tell that when I was in charge, our working conditions were the most favorable and I am sure my brother has maintained everything according to the law.

Soraja: Thank you for commenting this matter. Now the next question is in regards to your time as the President of the Treviso deo Norte Province.

Janette: I am an open book... Please ask me anything, Soraja.

Soraja: We allow the readers to send their questions and we ask some of them. One that people have been asking almost unanimously is "Why did you chose to stay neutral during most of the Civil War?"

Janette: I had a feeling this question might arise sometime. The truth is, I didn't feel like we should bring war to our doorsteps. Werdoi was committing atrocities, yes, but he wasn't directly attacking the Trevisan Provinces. After all, the Central Government headquarters are far closer to Vivankia and San Martin than they are from Miccan, for example. Any harsh decisions would have led to unforeseeable consequences that neither me nor Brandon were willing to see. [Brandon Jones was Province President of Treviso deo Sur. Author's note.]

Back then, we chose not to gamble with the lives of more than nine million people. Of course, when Werdoi ordered the terrorist attack on Mardokash, which was supposedly neutral grounds, and the sickening truth came out, we had to stand our ground and make the harsh decision to declare Werdoi's rule rogue and give our support to the growing Junta. I do not regret the course of action we had taken. I stand by my actions, as they saved the lives of as many Trevisan as possible.

Soraja: Another important question that arose was "Do you think your assessment of the Silver Arms' invasion and conquer of the Trevisan Provinces was correct?"

Janette: I must begin with this single fact, we successfully avoided a bloodbath. Strategically retreating our remaining forces that, should I also add, were diminished due to the war, saved another countless lives. Turning the streets of our biggest cities, like Vivankia, San Martin and Salvatore into battling grounds for the remote possibility of winning, would not be worth the amount of civilian deaths we'd have in our hands. Once again, me and Mr. Jones had chosen the most bloodless as possible path. Just compare the amount of civilians who died in both Trevisan provinces and Gambidion, for example.

Soraja: The last question of today is more focused on what will you do if you manage to win the national Elections of October. So, please tell me and all Tardineannen who are watching this interview today with us. What are your plans for the future of Tardine?

Janette: As I said previously, the gear of progress is unstoppable. We determine today what the nation will look like tomorrow. To shape Tardine as one of the most developed nations of Eras, to make the citizens proud of being Tardineannen, are my main goals. Risvie's so called "Recovery Plan" does not take into account that the poorest ones are already paying the price. The loss of purchase power directly affects the amount of food people put in their tables. Even with the "Caring Tardine" program, people still have way less money to live on than 2021. We must raise wages again, to make living affordable to everyone.

My plans include reviewing the economic policy so that the poor ones does not starve and increase the funds for the already existing development plans and create new ones. We also shall increase the amount of high speed rails and improve the infrastructure on the less developed areas. Increasing exchange students' fund and stimulating child birth will help our demographic transition to be slow and mitigate possible economic consequences. Peace must be the guide on international relations and we must pursue it at all costs.

Soraja: Thank you for joining us today! Those were all questions we had.

Janette: Thank you too for the invite, Soraja. Have a nice day!

Soraja: A nice day to you too, Janette!​
