Social State Act set to pass in National Congress; Concerns and worries arise over the Social State Act.

One of the promises set forth by the Yepes Presidency was the creation of a social state. While on paper, this sounds like something fantastic, and has been described as a state with cooperation between all citizens in mind, in reality, it seems to require a few broken eggs to achieve. The Social State Act has been put into the National Congress, looking to limit the rights of unions in regards to how they strike and negotiate. Immediately, this has set off red alarms across the entire left spectrum. After all, the PSSG has always been a strong supporter of unions, and now they are moving to limit the unions right to negotiate and strike? With several PSSG moderates coming to oppose the Social State Act vocally, the PSSG is set to narrowly pass in the National Congress.

With most notable opposition coming from Garcian Socialists and Realists in the PSSG, a question has been floating around: Is Yepes really a socialist? What kind of socialist limits the rights of unions? With the PSSG fighting itself, Yepes is set to redefine Gaduri Socialism to fit her corporatist vision for society. Defenders of the act have assured that this bill will not limit the rights of unions, but simply involve the government more, and ensure that the government is able to force negotiations between unions and owners. This is supposedly to ensure that a cooperative society can be established. However, as Yepes continues to promote welfare reforms, she has become rather polarizing to the Gaduri public. 

While it's clear her vision of Gaduri Socialism is firmly rejecting Metzist thought, other Garcian Socialists have only increased their opposition to her, with a handful even being expelled or leaving the PSSG outright. They have claimed that Yepes is looking to limit the rights of the unions entirely, and disarm the rights of Gaduri workers. Whether that's true or not, the Social State Act will most likely pass unless more defections occur to the PSSG dissidents. As the party fights itself, Yepes will need to walk a tight role between pushing her agenda, pleasing the party, and the public at large.

Whatever the case, her promise of class collaboration may be true, as Yepes looks to ensure a united, cooperative society in Gaduridos. While critics and more orthodox socialists oppose her, she has found support amongst moderates paradoxically, and of course, socialists sympathetic to her. It's made very much clear that her opposition to Metzist Socialism will be something at the forefront of her Social State. Irregardless, her welfare reforms have also assisted in keeping her popular. Polarizing as she is, she has dedicated herself to the enrichment of Gaduridos. Whether the unions will be grateful in 5565 is anyone's guess however.
