Całeon - Shocked and terrified by the outcome of the failed war waged by the leadership of the Socialist Republic, with the Sarrentine Peninsula occupied by foreign military forces, protests across Istalia have multiplied and spread like wildfire in recent months and this morning the most impressive one exploded in Całeon, capital of the Region of Nicoma, formed spontaneously but then heated up and led by the leaders and members of what presented itself as a new party for the salvation of the country, the Patriotic Front of Istalia.

At the helm of the avowedly Istalian nationalist newly founded movement there are Mattia Appiano-Solari, last rightfull descendant of the House of Appiano De Borromei as head of the last surviving cadet branch of the former Imperial Dynasty of Istalia, and the former Colonnel of the Air Force Floria Monaldi, descendant of Eros Monaldi, 1st Duke of Saxéra, seven times Prime Minister of the Third Istalian Empire and the one to serve in the post for the longest period, who founded the party in order to save Istalia and contrast the forces of the Socialist Republic and its incompetent leadership.

Mattia Appiano-Solari, having led to Palace Square with his friend and compatriot Floria Monaldi the core of the protestors, around which thousands of thousands of people gathered, entered the former Royal Palace of Caleon, seat of the Caleon municipality, with the support of some complacent public officials of the city, and reached one of the windows facing the square, began an appassionate speech denouncing the current regime and its leadership while Monaldi continued inciting people with the loyal party members remained in the square with her:

Sons and daughters of Istalia,

our patience and our tolerance for the current regime of this wretched socialist republic has now come to an end.
The monopoly of power exercised by what has become an elite of bureaucrats animated only by the will to remain in power has finally borne its unfortunate fruits: our land, our homeland, finds itself today partly occupied by foreign military forces and our sovereignty relegated to this our holy island, for centuries the last refuge of the Istalians.

The senseless war waged by the current leadership has brought us to this condition! Defeated, humiliated and occupied, forced to submit to shameful conditions that our country has never had to endure for over 5000 years. Our homeland has not been invaded or occupied since the time of the Quanzarian Empire, but finally, led by an unfortunate ideological leadership of bureaucrats that has become a cancer for our country, foreign forces have crossed the sacred borders, brought our country to its knees and prostrated our souls.

I tell you, as a true patriot, that without further delay we must rise up and demand that the current disavowed and defeated leadership step aside and return the fate of the country into the hands of the Istalians so that finally all of us together can once again shape our destiny, free from this toxic and failed socialist ideology that has remained in power for too long.

I tell you, again, that without further hesitation we must reclaim our Istalianity and the Istalianity of all our lands, therefore not only drive out the invader but also definitively oppose all those forces that not only in recent decades, but in truth for centuries and centuries immemorial, have done nothing but operate subtly in the shadows to corrupt and cancel our culture, our history and our identity, starting, and I tell you without hesitation, from the Ahmadist element, not Majatran one, mind you, but the Ahmadist one, and I hope that what has happened here in Alaria, the disappearance of the last vestiges of the ancient Quanzarian and Ahmadist domination will finally interest all of Istalia, inviting our Majatrans brothers of Istalia, of Auroran and Istalian faith and culture, to stand by our side for the safety and prosperity of their children, our children.

And now, facing the current situation of occupation, despite the most extreme positions that would like to expel the occupiers, even through real guerrilla warfare, I say that we cannot ignore the fact that the responsibility for this situation falls fully on the current leadership and that unfortunately the people will have to pay the price. But I assure you that passively accepting the ignoble conditions imposed on us will not be an option and that, also committing ourselves to foreign countries to remove the threat of the destabilizing communist regime, we will try to renegotiate the terms of the unfortunate outcome of the war and regain full sovereignty over our country as soon as possible.

For this reason today we must loudly announce that the newborn Patriotic Front of Istalia is born to face the misfortunes that the country is facing, the voice of all Istalians and especially of those who are tired of this regime and want a change to be able to start hoping for the future again. Only together can we achieve this ambitious and sacrosant goal.
Together we must force the current and now disavowed leadership to listen to us, to listen to the voice of Istalia and to free the homeland and the people from its wretched and now exhausted leadership, because the time has come to take back our country, our lands, our dignity, our freedom... the time has come to take back Istalia!

Much to the dismay of the Communist Party members of the city administration, only at the end of the speech the law enforcement forces entered the municipal offices to oust Appiano-Solari and his men, who were taken in custody for illegal trespassing of a stately public property, while from the square, surrounded by other very loyal men, the ambitious co-leader of Appiano-Solari, Floria Monaldi, continued to fire up the crowd in shouting anti-government slogan until the down of the sun, with the police forces able to freed the square only late at night, indeed just after the coming of strongest pression from the highest echelons of the Communist Party from Pontolach, temporary capital of the Republic, clear signs that the antigovernment feelings have spread also among the law enforcement forces and even the military, from which Monaldi resigned months ago after the shameful defeat in the war together a lot of other officials.

The Patriotic Front, as stated to several journalists reached by phone by Floria Monaldi after the arrest of her colleague Appiano-Solari, is aimed to bring back glory and prosperity to the country, to reintroduce plurality and a truly istalian democratic regime in the country and to protect and defend Istalian Identity from the threat posed by internal and external forces.
It is an Istalian nationalist party, with nationalistic positions on most of cultural and political issues. Economically within the party there are several positions from moderate centrism to very libertarian stances while socially, within the party two souls cohesist, although with certain difficulties: an aurorian democratic wing and a moderate progressive wing. Of course, for the moment, as declared by Mrs Monaldi, the party is focused on its crusade to freed Istalia from the failing and decadent forces that brought the disgrace on the country.

Also as underlined by the speech of Mattia Appiano-Solari, among the internal forces blamed to be a menace for Istalia and its people the party indicate alongside the Communist leadership also the ahmadist foundamentalists, considered probably even more dangerous than the Communist leadership itself, and in general the party shows to be anti-ahmadist and a supporter for the expansion of the Aurorian Church as the traditional religious soul of the country, the most radical members of the party even proposing to support veritable conversion activities toward the ahmadist minirity penalty an expulsion from the country. The events of the recent decades, the war against Pontesi and Kafuristan and the terrorist acts by part of kafuri-backed ahmadist foundamentalists, generated a general distrust towards the majatran minority of Istalia. Unlike the government, however, the Patriotic Front doesn't oppose all majatrans and in fact the aurorian and istalianized majatrans are instead greatly favoured by the party, thus a totally different approach to face the matter. As a proof, another important name that emerged in the last hours is the lawyer Kalid Camilleri, a third founding member of the party, notable istalian majatran pro-aurorian activist and legal expertise of the party.

Now we have to see how the Communist Government will react toward this new political movement which openly challenges it and the law on the ban of all non communist party in Istalia.
