BALGRAD - At least 400 locals were protesting at the entrance of the Marin the Great Naval Base earlier this morning after news broke that the federal government has struck a deal with provincial and local authorities for the expansion of the naval base. The expansion, brought about by the renewed efforts to expand and improve the Armed Forces, would evict nearly a thousand residents currently living on the edge of the base. Under the expansion plan these homes will be demolished in order to construct new docking and storage facilities, primarily for the storage of fuel. This expansion would mean an end to a entire community, with those organizing the protest noting that this is a secluded part of the city that has become a bonded family over the decades.
Under the expansion none of the home owners are to receive compensation, as they will be forced to leave their home within the next three months. The 400 protestors put up signs saying "Ushalandars Belong here!" and "Resist the Diktat", reffering to the apparant pressure federal authorities have put on local politicians to push the plan through. While local police has so far tolerated the protests, the Imperial Ministry of Domestic Affairs has issued an order to break them up according to insiders within the ministry. Federal sources also seem to confirm what we feared, that the Imperial government wants this expansion to go through no matter what. Provincial Governor Giurescu acknowledged the "clear pain that these people will have to endure for the betterment of our empire" but noted that the decision is "irreversible." On the question why no compensation has been made available for the to be evicted families, the governor responded by saying "these are federal lands that these citizens have lived on in provincially provided housing. While unfortunate, they knew that their stay would end at some point."
At Adevăr!, we see this apparant disregard for Ushalanders as yet another infringement on our autonomy. While the new constitution promised autonomy and freedom, the federal decrees are crushing all our hopes. We call on the Emperor to do the right thing and help his people, even in cases that might seem small, as we are a just nation that should care for all within.
