Selucia

"It's time for the patriots"

Consul-elect Artemis Gavros says he will tackle "decades-long" Selucian issues

After a long and difficult campaign, the recently born "Patriotic Revolt" has reaped its fruits, and it has now become the biggest political party in Selucia, sweeping all other political parties and becoming the dominant force in the national Senate as well as the three Commonwealths. Its leader and now  Consul-elect Artemis Gavros is waiting for his running partner Flavinia Mactator to be appointed by the Senate as his co-Consul, although this is just a mere procedure since his party holds now all the Senate seats.

Patriotic Revolt (known in its native language as Sollevatio Patriotarum) has been described by political commentators and the media as populist, socialist, cultural conservative, social progressive, left-wing populist, left-wing nationalist, and left-conservative. The latter label is used in part due to its far-left economic positions and right-wing stances on some social issues, which have been as being popular among anti-establishment and right-leaning voters. In response to these descriptions of the party as far right or socially right-wing, some political scientists say that the party still has a "left-wing profile", sometimes being considered as left-wing authoritarian, due to its conservative stance on some cultural issues such as immigration.

Now, Mr. Gavros says one of the most urgent things to tackle in Selucia is political dissatisfaction, fueled by decades of political inactivity and the impoverishment of the Selucian working class. As such, he has already announced that his new government plans to propose a new law that will establish cuotas for senators according to age gaps, in order to motivate youngsters to get involved into politics. He has cited "the political old elite" as one of the main reasons for Selucia's lost of importance in the modern world, citing the times of In Marea's rule and government as the "most brilliant" of Selucian recent history, and has said he will attempt to put Selucia back to where it belongs, hand in hand with other heavyweights in Terra's multipolar order.
