Nadiya

Plot twist in Nadiya as the Nadiyan General Assembly approved the Keitel Thaller reform with a slim majority with the help of opposition votes even tho all party leaders advised their MPs to reject the reform. The vote, held earlier this morning, was a fierce battle between two visions for Nadiya's future social and financial future.

Communist, Hosian Matriarchists, and Lovers argued in favor of the reform citing the Account Court's recent report warning that the Nadiyan pension system will most likely collapse and the social contract be ruptured if the confederal government doesn't significantly adjust the current system. 

"The current ages for retirement, 50 for women with above 3 children and 55 for men, has begun putting a serious strain on publica finances over the past few years." The court says, "The confederation already spends billions on the war induced complications veterans of the Kerisian suffer from. This accumulation of financial contribution will only lead to the rise of economic despair within the youth as they see themselves as mere piggy banks for their forefathers."

Meanwhile in the status quo side, the social revolutionaries, and servants, argued that Nadiya can afford keeping such a low retirement age especially since recent reports from the NCB indicated that the Confederation reported an impressive 8% growth of the economy with export revenue booming thanks to the veins of prosperity project currently being carried out by Nadyrail and Nadcomp across the Empire.

"So you're here telling me that Nadiya, one of Terra's fastest growing economies, can't afford to let people retire at 55 because of a supposed 'demographic' wall?" Kwok Tam-Hee, an SR mp, said, "These type of lies were spun around when Konstantinova introduced austerity and it seems that it's became a trend within the right to cut away at social spending in favor of more handouts to the private sector even tho our population fervently prohibits it!"

While this happened in parliament, the NGCW and FUP held a series of peaceful protests across the isles with the biggest one being in Zarvospol as the organizers reported 3 million participants compared to the 2,1 million the Zarvospol Metropolitan Police declared as present. The protests themselves focused on denouncing the Central Bank governor Evelina Maximovna, the president of the NCB's Commission for Fair and Humane Development Babkina Vladimir Igorievna, and Chief Executive Liliana Thaller, calling them "heartless technocrats whose sole interest is to make banks."
