Baegukese MDPs Denounce Bakufu Military Faction, Call for WDU to be Ready to Suspend Sekowo
The new radical party swept Sekowo's local elections last month, calling for the reorganization of the nation into a Shogunate. Opponents fear that, should the BMF gain national power, Sekowan democracy could collapse.

Gongmangdo - The Halls of the West Dovanian Parliament was incredibly tense today as Member of Dovnian Parliament (MDP) Yiri Jaechan formally moved to propose a resolution that would condemn the BMF's political initiatives to re-establish a Sekowan Shogunate. The proposed resolution would furthermore bind the WDU to temporarily suspend the Union membership of any member state under a military government. Finally, the legislation also committed the WDU to temporarily relocate its Executive Offices to Skalm. Though Heimeikyo remains the de jure Executive city, supporters of the bill argued that it could be under the risk of arrest should Sekowo's political system rapidly change. Proponents thus declare that Kazulia, which is politically and economically stable, should become the temporary home of the President until Sekowo is secured. Yiri's proposal was supported by 9 of the 15 Baegukese MDPs allocated to the parliament and was fiercely debated among all national delegations.

The Bakufu Military Faction, or BMF (Sekowan: 幕派, Baku-ha) is a new political party just formed weeks ago, whose stated mission is to stand for " the restoration of the ancient shogunate in Seko". Many fear that the BMF could be harboring extremist and anti-democratic ideas and seek to spread them across the WDU, although the party itself has not explicitly advocated for any concrete policies yet. Though the BMF remain political outsiders with no representation in Sekowo's national legislature, the Diet, yet, many fear that they could easily sweep the upcoming national elections in 5593 and oust the currently stagnating and unpopular liberal government.

Should the resolution pass West Dovanian Parliament, then Sekowo could very well find itself temporarily suspended from WDU membership and benefits should the BMF win next election.
