Il Proletario: "The programme of the Istalian communists"
Unsurprisingly, the LSI has recently announced that they would forbid travelling to Pontesi, as well as Pontesians travelling towards Istalia, and blocking trade between the two nations indefinitely. The Istalian communists have been in conflict with the government of Pontesi for some years, and now that the LSI rules in Istalia, they have not doubted in taking measures against Pontesi. The LSI has justified this action by stating that the government of Pontesi poses a threat to Istalia and its proletariat and will enact security measures against any threat coming from Pontesi. The Minister of Internal Affairs, Erminio Boni, declared a few words about this decision:
This was met with the support of the Istalian communists and syndicalists. However, the moderate socialists in the LSI, as well as the rest of the population, felt this was going to worsen the relations between Pontesi and Istalia, which have been hanging by a thread ever since the Pontesian government banned the magazine of the LSI, Il Proletario. From Boni's words, it is deduced that this is not done to punish Pontesi, but to warn them to cease of their actions or more radical measures will have to be taken, especially if the Pontesian government threatens the Pontesian proletariat in any way.

Quote:The government of Pontesi has banned our magazine, arrested innocent Istalians in Pontesi, insulted us, attacked their own people for owning and distributing our texts - we are not going to let the government of Pontesi continue with these actions. Let this be a final warning. We do not trust the government of Pontesi and believe they might be plotting against us and attack us any time. They should be glad we did not directly attack them, but we were kind enough to just cut off any possibility of contact between our nations! Let this reactionary and pathetic bourgeois government rot away, as they are not going to stop the proletarian revolution that is inevitable in Pontesi...
