Deltaria

[Rogue]

Cahtica - Reports of soldiers in the capital and surrounding the "Duha" (imperial palace) have reached our news desk. While regent Sreten Trkulja was to address the nation in a televised speech this morning, all news channels focussed on the images of soldiers breaking down the palace gates and setting up in strategic locations through the capital city. The mere image of soldiers in the imperial capital was shocking to most Deltarians. Since the end of the civil war, the capital and its surrounding areas were declared a demilitarized zone, with no military presence allowed. Only the Special National Gendarmerie had a presence in the capital, ensuring the emperor maintained a strict grip on power. 

Tensions between various factions have boiled over this last month. Liberals, led by scholar Domagoj Batinić, had pushed the regent to use this period of transition to reintroduce democracy in Deltaria. On the exact oppossite was the Imperial, conservative faction, trying to do what it can to preserve the status quo. Regent Trkulja himself has tried to venture his own path, reportedly focussing on gaining the trust of the SNG and using it to take out his own rivals. The socialists have used the chaos in government to take to the streets, with banned labour unions now demanding better working rights and thousands attempting to force the imperial government to change. 

The situation in the capital has so far been chaotic. It is unclear what the soldiers are attempting to do, with little to now news being communicated with media outlets. From what we can see on the ground, the army is attempting to arrest Trkulja and take over the capital. Soldiers are dressed in all-green outfits and none are talking to reporters. Are these the liberals managing to convince the military of their wanted change? Or will we face a military dictatorship, eager to continue imperial opression in a different coat?
