As the protests and rallies for democracy continue on, the University City of Lenakha has caught national attention, as the Local Committee of Lenakha has refused to cooperate with Public Security in restoring order, which has caused considerable tensions as it's not only unprecedented but outright illegal for a Local Committee to refuse the orders of the central government. This week however, Public Security would force their way into Lenakha, and crack down on the most extreme of rallies, most particularly the student rallies from Lenakha State University, and this resulted in the arrest of the so called, "Lenakha Five", a small group of students who were responsible for organizing the rally. This has caused considerable controversy, as the Democratic Opposition has called the arrest for what it is; a politically motivated arrest, and a violation of civil rights and freedom of expression. The Socialist Unity List however, has endorsed the arrest, believing that the instability brought about by youth radicalism is threatening the socialist experiment.

All the while, in Metz-Leonid, the Custodian has looked to properly organize a political front for the Socialist Unity List, with the Socialist Party of Xsampa, Democratic Socialist Left Party, Gongma Nyamnyid Party and the recently formed Communist Party Opposition (consisting entirely of expelled CPX members who support the Custodian) merging into an electoral and political alliance, the (uncreatively named) Socialist Unity Party, which will represent the Custodian in PAX once it is restored upon the return of stability. 

And, regarding the New Democracy Act, the Supreme Revolutionary Court has announced hearings on the legality of the NDA and whether the Custodian has done a legal act or not, and the official ruling is expected to come about next year, most likely in the summer. If the Supreme Revolutionary Court rules in favour of the Custodian, it'll certainly be a blow to the Democratic Opposition, who have benefited immensely from painting the Custodian as an illegal usurper. But, if the Supreme Revolutionary Court rules against it, then there will absolutely be even more pressure and even the means to restore PAX immediately and remove the Custodian (either directly, or from a direct impeachment vote, something that the Democratic Opposition is bound to to push for the moment PAX is restored).

With the Custodian receiving foreign support from Utaristan and Kalistan as well, the power struggle has leaked onto the world stage as the Democratic Opposition has used its party ties to gain support, with the ISDP calling for the Socialist People's Party in Bianjie to provide support, of which they did, and the CPX calling on the Progressive Communist Party (also in Bianjie) and the Communist Party of Valruzia, of which both parties provided full unwavering support and solidarity, and can pressure their national governments to take a formal stance.
