BREAKING NEWS: Etxean Garrison Command declares martial law with the unianimous permission of the Legebiltzarra and the President

[10 February 5637]

---

With the Hutori declaration of war on the bandits up north, the fate of eastern Artania has changed. For the second time in memory, war has come directly upon the Kundrati.

The near daily bombings from the mainland have somewhat ceased as it is speculated that the mainland was running out of missiles. This is not to mention that the upcoming war will require the Legion to prepare as much supplies as humanly possible, therefore at least for now, the bombardment that Etxeans have known for at least a year has slowed down.

The Etxean Garrison Command, the military forces that operate in Etxea, has reacted accordingly. According to General Julius Alcazar in a speech televised throughout the island, the War Measures Act 5637 was unianimously passed today which meant that the country was under martial law and that habeas corpus was suspended for the period of the war. In addition, elections will be suspended and the military reserves the right to appoint members of the Legebiltzarra if any member were to die or resign. In addition, the Etxean Garrison Command declared that Tiberius Claudius Nero and the current President Aranotz Dindairu will be made Supreme Commander of the Kundrati Union Armed Forces, the latter as per constitutional norms and the former owing to his prior military experience.

The President, Aranotz Dinairu, has confirmed and signed on to these measures. A press conference was also held shortly after the televised announcement where both the President and the former President took questions on what will happen next. The President responded to questions regarding recruitment by declaring that there will be full mobilization and conscription of all individuals aged 18 to 60 for men and women. The President also said that they were opening up Etxea to military troops from Luthori and the so-called coalition of Hutori and Davostag amongst other possible interested nations.

Tiberius Claudius Nero answered several questions about where any invasion of the mainland will come from by saying that it is obvious that the Legion will be surrounded on all sides and that it was even possible that there would be an invasion from Ikradon and Endralon in order to prevent any Legion troops or higher-ranked individuals from escaping to other nations. In terms of plans to deal with the remaining Legionary Navy and the Legionary Air Force he said that he was very confident that the Navy will be destroyed as it was in the first Kundrati War and that the Air Force will be extremely crippled when faced with the might of the modern air forces of Luthori, Davostag and Hutori.

As to questions about what a future united Kundrati will look like, both the President and the former President said that such questions would be dealt with once a unified Kundrati became more likely.

Already at the end of the press conference, one can see huge lines, block by block, leading into recruitment centers. It is to the point where tables outdoors have been set up with tents in order to accomodate the demand. It is clear that the demand to fight exists throughout the island. The President did note, however, that rationing will be expected and that in order to see the Legion glassed live on television one will have to reduce their daily intake and consumption "...because our brave boys and girls will need them for the fight." per him. Official rationing measures have been announced in a followup declaration and ration cards are being printed and sent out as we speak.

Let every person do their duty.
