The Minister of Defence, Thomas Boquet, announced today his intention to introduce a bill before the National Assembly that would outlaw paramilitary organizations throughout Rildanor.The minister justified the proposal as a necessary measure to preserve public order, safeguard national unity, and prevent the re-emergence of internal conflict.

Paramilitary organizations undermine public order, threaten political stability, and create the conditions for violence and intimidation.
Seventy years ago, our nation was torn apart by a brutal civil war between Meriath and mainland Rildanor. That conflict remains within living memory. Thousands of citizens were forced to take up arms against their fellow countrymen in a tragic and fratricidal struggle.

After extensive consultations with President Sylvie Aimard-Bélanger and Prime Minister Henri Des Ambrois, both of whom have given their full support to this initiative, the government has concluded that action can no longer be delayed.

It is with the determination to prevent such self-destructive bloodshed from ever occurring again that I ask the National Assembly to grant the government the authority to act against any paramilitary organization that may emerge.

Rildanor has only one army. Any organization that challenges that principle represents a potential threat to our unity and civil order. Any group that acts like a military force, trains like a military force, or presents itself as a military force must be stopped before it can endanger our democracy and our peace.
-Thomas Boquet, Minister of Defence

According to the government, the proposed legislation would prohibit the formation, training, funding, and operation of private armed groups while granting law enforcement agencies additional powers to dismantle organizations deemed to be acting as paramilitary forces.
