New Democracy Act invoked; XDA march on Metz-Leonid as PAX is dissolved and Custodian assumes Premiership.

Citizens of Metz-Leonid today awoke not to stability and calm, nor to peaceful sounds but to the sounds of boots marching, as the Xsampan Democratic Army has marched in Metz-Leonid, all the way to the People's Assembly of Xsampa, and has formally dissolved PAX, temporarily suspending it. The current Peoples Commisar of Revolutionary Defense, Tsultrim has confirmed that "due to ongoing instability and loss of confidence in the democratic process to safeguard the Xsampan Revolution, the New Democracy Act has been invoked."

By noon, the Custodian, Tsundue Dramuktsang was confirmed to have been nominated as Premier, holding both positions simultaneously and has announced the creation of a "All Unity Cabinet".

The instability that Xsampa has seen this year has shown us a painful truth. Democracy cannot endure, if it is hijacked by factionalism and radicalism. The Xsampan Revolution must be preserved, and in the name of stability and socialism, the NDA must be used for the first time in Xsampan History. I guarantee that we will see a restoration of stability. A restoration of Revolutionary Confidence, and an end to revisionism. The Xsampan Revolution will endure. PAX will remain suspended until the situation is adequately resolved, and the Democratic process can be trusted once again.

Almost immediately, reactions came out in favour and against, with some glad that there's finally going to be a stable government that isn't deadlocked, and others claiming that this is an outright illegal move, as former Premier, Dakpa has been no where to be seen, and the NDA is specifically tied to the CPX, of which Dramuktsang's cabinet consists of solely Independents. There also have been very vocal concerns over democracy, but this has been countered by others with the argument that socialism must come first no matter what. Whatever the case, almost immediately, all wings of the CPX have boycotted any official events involving the Custodian, and have organized rallies and protests, with the ISDP joining in solidarity and even the TUUL. While some CPX members have supported the Custodian, most of the CPX is firmly opposed to what they see as a power grab. The other political parties have equally been split, with the Xsampa Improvement Party seeing some defections, but largely supporting the CPX. The Socialist Party of Xsampa has given it's full support to the Custodian however. By nightfall, the CPX, ISDP, SLP, LGD, XIP, and TUUL have brandished themselves as the Democratic Opposition, with the SPX, GNP, XSDC* and DSLP giving full support to the Custodian, brandishing themselves as apart of a Socialist Unity List.

*The Xsampan Section of the Dovanian Congress has supported the Custodian solely because Dramuktsang has a history of being incredibly skeptical to the Altéa Accords.

As protests loom, in favour and against the Custodian, it's clear that things have changed irreversibly. It remains to be seen how this will play out, as the New Democracy Act has never been invoked before, but with even the CPX in opposition to it, it does beg the question. Has the CPX really been molded by democracy, or, is this really an illegal and dangerous move? Whatever the case, with PAX suspended for now and dissolved, Dramuktsang will rule by decree until PAX is restored "whenever the situation allows". If the start of the year drew Xsampa to midnight, then today has certainly thrown Xsampa past midnight.
