RE: Gaduridos - journey - 26-06-2025 ![]() ![]() PSSG on the path to win enough seats for a one-party majority, poll says According to the most recent Mente Colmena, social democrats, led by the Ximona García, could win up to a total of 130 seats, one more than the majority requirement is, and form a single party government without the support from other parties 2 November 5652 ![]() With mere weeks left before the next general election, the less and less people remain undecided in their intention to vote, and yet more and more voters voice the sentiment of "everything has been decided already anyway", as most major polling companies show that the opposition will win the upcoming election, with the Pan-Seleyan Social Democratic Party on the verge of winning a majority of its own, not requiring any external support from Vintallian regionalists like VU, or centrists like Hosian Democratic Party. Ximona García, daughter of Imelda Solís-García, former president of the Government of the Ciudad de Gadur, and a member of the most powerful Gaduri politcal dynasty, has been leading the party of her descendants since 5646, going through the bitter loss in 5648, and the "betrayal" of the PDH, after the latter sided with the right-of-centre parties to form a coalition. This time around, Ximona is going into the race with a simple policy: "we will not be like them", as PSSG promises to bring Gaduridos back on the path of the socially caring government and stronger foreign policy. And one can say this has been working, as the polling has been showing a huge leap and gap between already distant social democrats and liberals with conservatives, with the Mente Colmena numbers talking about a 29 seat gain for the main opposition force, which, if true, would be one of the strongest results for the PSSG is recent history, winning the first solo majority in almost two decades. But, taking into account undecided voters and the margin of error of the opinion polls, no one dares to say with certainty that PSSG is going to rule the country alone. When presented with the question on the future coalition partner for the social democrats, overwhelming majority of 72% respondents answer VU, and just 17% say PDH. Other two options included PTG and a minority government, with each getting 4% and 7% respectively. ![]() Las Contradicciones is a Gaduri online newspaper, previously established as the national printing paper, but ceased printing publications in 5580.

Preliminary results published by the Federal Electoral Commission on Sunday morning, show that polls have massively underestimated PSSG, with social democrats winning a staggering majority with 135 seats under their control, more than enough to form a majority government on their own. Following the release of the first exitpolls, the Prime Minister-in-waiting Ximona García came to the party members, voters and others to speak about the results, about the future of the country, and the "return of the social government". García spoke about the reforms that PSSG will begin under her government: "We will be rooting out corruption, nepotism and useless major spending on some villas of the public officials, who do nothing but steal from the honest working people", adding that under her government no woman, child, elderly or the disabled will be discriminated anymore, and no one will be left behind. García ended by thanking everyone, and congratulating all newly-elected or re-elected PSSG members the National Congress and the Senate. Meanwhile, the opposition suffered a massive blowback, bigger than expected before, with the Reform falling to just 31 seats, while Radicals lost a third of their representation in the lower chamber. Outgoing PM, and leader of the Radicals, Alfonso Castañeda has announced his resignation as the party leader, saying that he takes the responsibility for the result, and hopes that his successor and the party as a whole does not repeat the same mistake as him moving on. PDH, however, have gained seats compared to their result in 5649, coming out as the second winner of the night, with their gamble of leaving the government and causing chaos for the coalition, paying out. Now, with PSSG ruling alone with no mechanisms to cause chaos, other than persuade their own MPs to defect, social democrats have unlimited and unchecked powers and tools to govern Gaduridos, implementing reforms they want to, going after the opposition possibly, or do nothing, it is up to the PSSG in the end. But one this is certain, for the next 4 years, Gaduridos is a deep red country. ![]() El Diario Gaduridano is a weekly national newspaper based in Gadur, Marligantos.

The fund is designed to manage the domestic state-owned enterprises and strategically invest Gaduri capital in regional and international projects. The body, to be called the Fondo Estatal de Riqueza e Inversión (State Wealth and Investment Fund), or FERI, for short, will assume control of all government holdings in state-owned enterprises, finance secretary Irma Villafuerte confirmed. "FERI will be a useful tool for the government to optimise its spending, enhance the performance of state-owned enterprises, and, most importantly, responsibly manage the wealth generated by our great oil industry", Villafuerte "With the creation of FERI, we are laying the foundation for a stronger, more secure future for ourselves and our children. By investing oil revenues into the fund regularly, we will engage in long-term planning will help us protect our economy against the fluctations of oil prices and the uncertainties that may affect the whole industry itself". As reported by Mensajero, according to the secretariat's bluepring, FERI will consist of two specialised entities: Riqueza Federal (Federal Wealth) or RIFED, focused on managing and supporting domestic insurance, industry and infrastructure, and Inversión Global (Global Investment), or INGLO, tasked with pursuing international investment opportunities, in particular in companies that are involved in oil exploration. At the same time, Villafuerte emphasised that the fund will aim for transparency, and the secretariat will introduce a legislation to provide the independent oversight for the agency in coming weeks. ![]() El Mensajero de la Mañana (Morning Courier) is the nationwide daily morning newspaper, located in Gadur.

Jumping the gun, Baltusian First Minister Merridan addressed the controversial visit and deal, saying that the Kundrati nation "must be given a [second] chance", and that no country can call itself a "free society", if it doesn't. The visit has prompted a reaction from the Gaduridos' Chancellor (foreign minister) Victor Goyri Jaramillo, who said that the actions of the Baltusian government are "rather confusing" to the diplomatic bodies of the Anantonese Empire and its constituent members, adding that it is "worrying and disappointing" that FM Merridan is putting aside morality and common sense for a deal like this. Goyri Jaramillo says the Gaduri government will now have to reexamine its relationship with Baltusian state, and follow its future actions very closely, to make a decision on the future cooperation. "We are going to give a nation a second chance. A Baltusian nation. We are not going to immediately cease all aid, and diplomatic relationship with the government in Johnson, akin to our friends in Kaliburg, but we hope that there could be a proper dialogue and understanding between our countries. I want to believe that Mr. Merridan does that in the best interests of Baltusia, but sometimes there are lines that one must not cross at any point in time, and there are indeed consequences for that", said the chancellor Goyri Jaramillo. ![]() Las Contradicciones is a Gaduri online newspaper, previously established as the national printing paper, but ceased printing publications in 5580.

According to the agriculture secretary Acalan Saldaña, the ASA programme will be providing financial and technical support for the small and medium-size producers, aiming to incrase the national supply of food baskets, decreasing dependency on other nations, strengthening the economy, and improving the quality of life for the mainland rural states, including Cuernatecas respectively. "To put it simply, the federal government is going to provide financial loans to people and enterprises who grow the most used and essential primary crops, like wheat, corn, beans, coffee and even milk, and more", secretary Saldaña explains. "At the same time, the government does not simply give out credits, because currently credit rates are too high for productions to take and sustain the business while paying it out. What the ASA will do is give lower interest rate loans, compared to those from the comercial banking". Saldaña added that the program will be rolling out in a couple of hundred of municipalities in Cuernatecas and Manzamal, with a clear plan of increasing the amount of producers and productions, with some crops planned to increase in production by two times, like the coffee industry. Another important part of the ASA programme announced by the Prime Minister and Secretary of Agriculture is the provision of insurance to the small and middle-sized producers which will be taking the loans, with secretary Saldaña elaboring that in case of floods, droughts, earthquake or insect invasions, the insurance provided by the ASA will pay for the loan, without leaving the producers in further debt. "Today, our farmers plant crops and droughts or pests strike, and there's a huge risk. So, along with the loans, they'll have insurance. If they lose or their harvest fails for any of those reasons, the insurance will pay off the credit debt. Government is supposed to help people, not take the last from them", said the head of Secretariat of Agriculture. The Sovereign and Self-sufficient Agriculture program will also provide agroecological technical support to bring new technologies and innovation to the countryside, as well as agricultural research and animal and plant health initiatives supported by the Secretariat of Science, Technology and Innovation. In addition, the Secretariat of Agriculture will act as a facilitator of direct agreements between producers and selling companies, eliminating intermediaries from the commercial chain, resulting in better prices for both producers and consumers, says the secretary Saldaña. Overall, the comprehensive agricultural support strategy is expected to benefit up to 200 thousand producers by 5655 with an investment of billions of funding, thanks to the recently established FERI and RIFED, former's specialised domestic fund. The ASA will grow annually with the goal of reaching 600 thousand producers by 5660, according the SECAG plan. ![]() La Rosa Nacional (The National Rose) is a weekly progressive newspaper, dedicated to expressing a progressive free truth to Gaduridos. (@LaRosaNacional) RE: Gaduridos - journey - 06-07-2025 ![]() ![]() The federal government is negotiating with pharmaceutical companies to reduce the deficit and lower the prices of medication in the nation, PM García says Monday, 13 May 5655 ![]() The issue of the lack of medicine and high prices has long been present in Gaduridos, with various governments trying to solve it differently. After 8 years of the centre-right governments, the situation has only worsened, leaving the administration of Ximona García a dire state of affairs in the national health system. Last Thursday, during her visit to Mirawak in the State of Manzamal, where the construction of the new medical centre was finished, the Prime Minister also announced that the government is working together with the Instituto Nacional de Salud de Gaduridos (National Health Institute of Gaduridos), or INSG for short, to lower the cost of medicine in the country, as well as reduce the ever-increasing lack of vital medication for the citizens. Following the announcement by the Prime Minister, the Secretariat of Public Health (SESAP) has released a statement, reaffirming the PM's words, and talking about its current and future actions in the medical sector. According to the statement, SESAP is currently in the process of direct negotiations with the nation's largest pharmaceutical companies, to avoid being dependent on the suppliers, who wanted to "rip the state off". At the same time, SESAP states that this action is going to be a part of the bigger reform and centralisation of negotiating powers of the federal government, which will allow for Gaduridos to save significant amounts of funds, as opposed to the decentralised system of the previous centre-right coalitions. As a part of the negotiations, the federal government is going to be buying the medicine directly from the Gaduri Big Pharma industry, which could save the nation up to 15% of the total spending, the statement reads. "For years, the state has been a prisoner of corporations, which have been lying to the government and citizens by selling us the vital medication at much higher prices, compared to the average market costs. The complicit previous administrations did nothing to prevent it, creating mass wasteful spending. We ran on a promise to stop it, and we have already begun acting on it", said Prime Minister García. "If the current tempo and success will keep up like this going forward, we are expecting that the INSG will have 93% medicine supply by the end of this year". Later, on Saturday, the chairwoman of the Congressional Commission on Health, Ixchel Reyes Valdez (PSSG), said that the parliamentary majority is looking into the possibility of advising the government on the mass investment in the domestic pharmaceutical industry, by funding the companies, willing to cooperate, or through creating the state-owned enterprise. "The current actions taken by the SESAP and INSG are great, and they move us in a better direction, when it comes to the state of affairs of the healthcare in Gaduridos, but at the same time, if we truly want to make it perfect for everyone, making sure our industry thrives will bring a better and results, and possibly at a cheaper cost", Reyes Valdez said. ![]() El Diario Gaduridano is a weekly national newspaper based in Gadur, Marligantos. (@ElDiarioGaduridano) RE: Gaduridos - journey - 10-07-2025 ignore RE: Gaduridos - journey - 10-07-2025 ![]() ![]() Federal government plans to digitalise 80% of all public services by the end of the decade 6 May 5656 ![]() In a major move towards transparency, the federal government has announced that up to 80% of public services will be available online by the end of this decade, as part of the new Transformación Digital de la Nación (Digital Transformation of the Nation) government programme. Speaking from the Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas Aplicadas y Ciencia (Center for Research in Applied Mathematics and Science), Prime Minister Ximona García has said the government is currently working on a major reform of the government services, describing it as a transformative move towards a more "accessible, efficient and transparent Gaduridos". The announcement came just days after PM García established a Secretariat of Digital Services and Communications (SSDC) through a governmental decree. SSDC became the main federal agency in charge of the digital policy of the government, and will coordinate the effort to oversee the implementation of current and future reforms, said newly-appointed secretary Betsabe Gutiérrez. Later that day, SSDC released a video address from Secretary Guitérrez, where she described in detail the TDN programme. According to her, the programme will gradually bring a wide range of services, like welfare programs registration, health appointments, civil marriages, permits and others, into a unified online government platform. "The Digital Transformation of the Nation is about eliminating unnecessary hurdles, corruption, and inequalities for our people", said Gutiérrez. "Everyone deserves the same services and the quality of them, no matter where they live". The roadmap presented by the SSDC includes three phases for the transition to take place. The first phase will focus on digitalising the vital basic administrative resources, like ID cards, birth certificates and vehicle registrations. The second one will integrate more complex systems, like healthcare scheduling, land titles and public procurement. The final phase will involve the creation of a secure digital identity system and a national digital wallet for social programs and public payments. The TDN roadmap also includes the creation of a mobile app, "EGad", to serve as a one-stop portal to access all the aforementioned resources and systems. To support the rollout, the federal government will be cooperating with the state administrations to invest and expand internet access in more remote and rural areas of both the mainland and the islands. Additionally, in cooperation with the Secretariat of Education, state and federal governments will launch digital literacy campaigns throughout the nation, especially in schools and administrative offices. ![]() El Mensajero de la Mañana (Morning Courier) is the nationwide daily morning newspaper, located in Gadur. (@ElMensajeroDeLaManana) RE: Gaduridos - journey - 11-07-2025 ![]() ![]() Is there a chance for the right-wing government any time soon? Opinion polling shows that the right is declining fast, with two major parties, Reform and Radicals, nearing their worst results ever, but there is a discussion about a united front, leading up to the question of whether it can help 3 August 5656 ![]() With half a year left before the next general election, many analysts, especially on the right, raise a very interesting question: is there a chance for the current right-wing forces to reclaim power, after a landslide victory of social democrats 4 years ago? And the short answer would be no, if one were to look at current opinion polls by various pollsters, which all show a clear image: PSSG machina is strong and stable, with nothing posing a threat to its re-election in December next year. Now, the most recent Mente Colmena numbers demonstrate just that, with PSSG reaching a record 140 years, more than enough to govern on their own, without being afraid of some coalition infighting or inability to pass legislation promised to the voters. At the same time, Radicals and Reform fall below 40 and 30, respectively. When looking at individual results seat-by-seat, it shows an even more grim picture for the right. If these numbers were the result today, PRG could be on the verge of losing crucial seats, like the rural Iravaca seat in western Manzamal, which it held for decades, with the poll showing a three-way race between PRG, PDH and PSSG. And this is the story of the current political system: PSSG stands strong, eyeing the ability to win over some generations-held constituencies of the right; the very same decaying traditional right-wing; and PDH, which positioned itself as a third-way force before, and has only reaffirmed its title following its "breakup" with the PRADG government. Quote: And yet, in light of this decay, strategists and party members have begun to float an idea of the joint electoral coalition on the right, with Radicals and Reform, obviously, making up the foundation of the coalition, with some members even as far as proposing a complete merger of RAD and PRG into a single stronge right-of-centre force, able to counter PSSG. The logic is simple: with the social democrats able to win some seats with no competition on the left, and a divided right, the only way out is a united front. Supporters say the two parties share a common platform, with the only difference being that the Radicals and Reform parties' electoral bases are either urban or rural voters, respectively. And the joint list could very well reassert the rightist presence as a serious contender against the PSSG machina, say the proposal supporters. Opponents are questioning whether rebranding will be effective compared to reevaluating values, policies, and leadership. They are concerned that the joint list might discourage some voters from participating, leading them to either abstain or vote for more conservative or liberal parties, such as PNG/PSL or PDH. While left-leaning and emerging centrist forces have embraced narratives around climate policy, digital governance, and economic justice, the right has mainly remained reactive. Voters are not just abandoning parties; they are also rejecting what they see as outdated visions of society. But, that's for right to solve in the upcoming months, which will be crucial for its present and future place in the modern Gaduri political system. If there is a united and serious intent to reform the nation, with a proper policy plan to do just that, there might be a small chance for the right to survive and possibly push PSSG into a minority government zone, laying ground for a tough 5671 election. ![]() Las Contradicciones is a Gaduri online newspaper, previously established as the national printing paper, but ceased printing publications in 5580. (@LasContradicciones) #politica #elecciones #union RE: Gaduridos - journey - 14-07-2025 ![]() ![]() Opposition leaders green light joint electoral coalition for the 5658 election Monday, 9 May 5657 ![]() Ángel Villagran and Jasinto Epigmenio Vásquez, leaders of Radical and Reform parties, respectively, in a joint public assembly, announced the creation of the electoral coalition between the two parties, and invited other opposition parties, hosian democrats and nationalists, to join the alliance, to "consolidate the anti-socialist vote" against the "raging and oppressive Metzist regime" of García, according to Epigmenio Vásquez's words during the assembly, EDG reports. On Sunday, gathering up to 10 thousand people, as per the organisers, on the Independence Square in the nation's heart and its capital city, Gadur, leaders and representatives of the two largest opposition parties, liberal Radicals and conservative agrarian Reform, declared that the two will unite their forces for the upcoming election in eight months, under the name Compomiso por Gaduridos (Commitment for Gaduridos), with a vibrant blue colour and the green-yellow gradient vote cross as its symbol, shown from the main stage to the massive crowd in CdG. Quote:Four years of irresponsible government, whose economic populist actions, imposed carelessly by the PM García, will only result in a massive recession, hurting everyone in Gaduridos, including the very own voters of Madam García. And that is why we're gathering here today. To say loud and clear: enough! Enough of chaos, enough of crazy ideas that will bankrupt our nation. We need a strong and stable government that cares for both the people and the businesses. Our announcement today is a commitment to you, the people of Gaduridos. We are committed to being there for you in the hardest times of your lives and supporting you. Not simply throw money at you, thinking it will solve the problem. Our government will be the one to solve the core of the problem, not its cosmetic issues. That is our commitment. Villagran, leader of the opposition and leader of the Radical Party, who will most likely lead the CxG list in 5658, had a quite intense speech, in a surprisingly conservative, hard right way, compared to his predecessors, in what some experts consider a move to win over PSL and PNG voters, accusing PSSG government of being "socialist", using old red scare tactics. EDG asked PSSG leaders to comment on the Villagran speech, but we received no answer. However, the PSSG spokesperson, Sesiya Pacheco, later wrote on social media: "It is sad to see neoliberal leaders lose their touch with the people of this country. If caring for the Gaduri people is socialism, then so be it. I am a proud socialist". According to the latest opinion polls by various pollsters, then-hypothetical alliance of Radicals and Reform was polling at about the same levels as the two parties running separately, though the consolidation of the vote would result in more seats for the opposition. And yet, PSSG has been polling stable at almost 45% of the vote for months now, with most, if not all, pundits being certain about yet another social democrat quinquenio (five-year term, outlined in the Constitution). ![]() El Diario Gaduridano is a weekly national newspaper based in Gadur, Marligantos.
