Emperor "gracefully accepts" emergency powers, thousands protest
September, 5620
Emperor Slavko I has, in a public statement released to all media outlets, "gracefully accepted" the responsibility to govern in a emergency capacity. Through a emergency decree, voted into action by the government, the Emperor was asked to assume the powers of the executive and in doing so become the de-facto controller of the Deltarian government. This move, sparked by the Parliament fire, would see absolutism return to Deltaria even if only temporary. While oppossition figures had asked the Emperor to "respect the constitution and reject the emergency powers" he has decided not to, and will thus govern as the nations head of state and government for a undisclosed period in order to "restore stability and safety to Deltaria and its people."
At least 300.000 people have gathered throughout the country denouncing the move, with the Socialist Party, Trade Unions, Local officials and countless of left-leaning organizations joining together to present a united front against "the Union's power grab." Police have so far been on standby, but are expected to crack down on the protests when ordered to. Emperor Slavko his first move as executive-regent, as his official title now proclaims him, was to reshuffle cabinet. The Imperial Ministry of Domestic Affairs will be led by Duke Vidimir of Doron, a close ally of the Emperor and until now a high ranking official in the Doron Akigan government. In order to fully secure the loyalty of the security forces, the Imperial Minister of War has been sacked in favor of Abel Niculescu, former head of Slavko's personal guard. While much remains vague surrounding the Emperor's emergency powers as executive-regent, that vagueness is now being used by his allies to exploit this newfound position. High ranking members of the (former) ruling party, the Union, have already pledged their "unwavering loyalty" to the Emperor, which confirms the fears that all in the executive and legislative branches will not oppose the emergency measures.
Only the judicial branch is now seen as a way to prevent Deltarian absolutism. But with the courts largely Union loyal due to decades of their rule, a real challenge isnt expected. Only if the international community might mount a response is the current authoritarian power grab to be prevented, a power grab we (for legal purposes) do not support nor condemn.
