Panmuan Heritage Act sparks outrage amongst Ostlanders
November 5698
President Argat called for calm after protests erupted amongst the Ostlander minority in Mu-Tze over the new Panmuan Heritage Act. The law, implementing a wide range of social reforms, is largely seen as a way to favor the Gaoic ruling class of Mu-Tze and disadvantage the large variety of ethnic minorities in the country. The law increases income taxes for those that do not come from Gaoic descent, enforces the Panmuan language nationwide and bans the use of other languages and enforces strict restrictions the banking system, seeking to remove regional banks and only allow national, Panmuan banks to operate in the country.
The PHA is already being called the "apartheid act" as it specifically targets non Gaoic minorities like the prevelant Ostlander and Vanukean communities. The Gaoic Republic of Mu-Tze has been struggling in recent years, facing economic hardship and a systemic issue with corruption. In order to improve the governments grip on power, the PHA was supposed to increase state revenue and control without alienating the ruling class of Gaoic citizens that has so far reported the republic.
Following the passage of the PHA the Ostlander community in the north took to the streets, calling on a reversal of the policies. Combined with systemic corruption and worsening poverty, the Ostlanders had demanded for more autonomy in recent years but failed to have their voices heard. With the state now relatively weak and these restrictive measures taking shape, many within the community saw their chance for change.
Other communities, like the Vanukeans in the south, have also started to resent the Mu-Tze regime. More protests arent ruled out, with President Argat warning that further action could lead to a harsh response by authorities, calling on the public to remain calm.
