Former state auditor launches his own conservative political party just two months before the presidential election



Standing before journalists in Tiralouse, with his former job's building being behind him, the 53-year-old Grégoire Sartre made a surprising announcement to the whole nation: he's entering the Rildanorian politics with his own right-wing party, the Sovereigntist Right, or the DSV. Being the former comptroller-general of the Rildanorian Court of Audit, Sartre has announced that he will "no longer stand aside of all the things happening in Rildanor", and that there must be a force that will protect the "common sense" ideology in the country against the "destructive socialism" policies of the PLS, Élan and others.

According to Sartre, the DSV will be a "people's party", serving the common man's interest, especially those who were forgotten by the current government and ruling elites of the parliamentary parties. Sartre says that his past as the member of the national audit system has proven to him how much fraud the Rildanorian elites engange in and the current status quo has rotten to its very core, leading him to make this decision to enter politics, and lead the new movement for a radical change and return the responsible before the general population government.

Sartre will be joined by former left- and right-wing politicians, as well as non-partisan officials from the state and private structures, like the new party's likely deputy leader, Bertrand Coquelin, who has been a close ally of Sartre, as a former auditor himself, but in the nation's central bank. Coquelin has been voicing similar concerns about the growing financial and political fraud of the ruling elites, having been an insider from within, later de facto whistleblowing about the issues in the media, gaining media traction online among the youth.

As the party is being launched mere months before the upcoming presidential elections, the press was interested whether the newly-created political force would stand its own candidate in what can possibly be Sartre's first challenge as newcomer in politics. Former national auditor did not respond directly, but affirmed that it would likely not be him, while hinting at a possible candidacy of his ally, and party's deputy leader, Coquelin.

All in all, the new political force will become the furthest right new addition to the current political arena, while trying to win over both the traditional left and right, both urban and rural, youth and elderly, on a major anti-system message, talking about the "forgotten men and women" outside Tiralouse. So far, the hypothetical polling has put the DSV at around 2% in polling, still far away from the threshold, but enough to become a new prominent force, annoying the current status quo enforcers.
