CPV, KA, and USP's political licenses suspended by the government on grounds of "falsified documents", Lotus party denounces "clear constitutional violations": strange those hippies
Kamalata, Vascania. It was a shock to everyone in the Empire when the news of the government suspending the political licenses finally came out, the measure was spearheaded by the ministry of home affairs led by Balmohan Batra, a renowned religious figure known for his hard right anti-socialist beliefs, which meant that the parties affected by his measure were the Communist Party of Vascania, the Communist Movement, and the United Socialist Party. In addition, the ministry of Justice justified the move by claiming that the affected parties were all involved in illegal schemes that supplied Rapa Pilese insurgents with weapons in their effort to fight back Vascania's presence and that they lied and falsified their documents in order to cash in more funds from the government. The suspension of political licenses doesn't ban parties or forces them to be dissolved but what it does do is strip away the voting rights of the suspended parties in parliament thus lowering the voting threshold dramatically as nearly 30% of parliament is effectively gone which in turn gives the majority to the Vascanian Democracy party and all right wing government aligned parties. Shortly after the suspension, the CPV, KA, USP, and Lotus party announced that they will take the matter to the supreme court directly to challenge the ministry's actions, and that once the actions are reversed by the supreme court, they will put forward a no confidence motion that's expected to pass since the combined seat share of the 4 parties compose 51% of parliament.
