President Claudius Hadriana announces his new cabinet and a legal purge of Vanguardists

[16 September 5673 | backdated.]

---

Kundrati now walks under a new formal government, their second free government since Tiberius Claudius Nero's a long time ago. The Kundrati People's Party and the Social Democratic Labor Party will be members of the cabinet and thus will have sufficient support to pass constitutional amendments and rule by fiat. However, this rule will try to destroy any hope of a Vanguardist, Legionarist, or Ordosocialist revival for good - that is what President Hadriana said.
-
Most of the posts will be occupied by the Kundrati People's Party, which includes the defense ministry, foreign affairs, and infrastructure. However, the Social Democratic Labor Party will have the posts of Minister of Education, Minister of Labor and Manpower, Minister of Finance, Minister of Human Affairs, and Minister for Science and Research, among many other lower posts. Reportedly, the SDLP Minister of Education is already about to release a new plan to overhaul the Kundrati educational system, a system that has needed reform for the last 40 years.
-
The President, Claudius Hadriana, also announced a new legal purge of the judiciary, executive, and political sphere of former Vanguardists and Legionarists. The purge will target individuals' political rights and examine whether they had gleefully participated in the Vanguardist system or if they were forced to partake in these actions. For this, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Armed Forces will conduct various mandatory interviews and perform research using the old Legionary and Vanguardist state archives, alongside examining their current rhetoric and actions.
-
Individuals who have knowingly participated or gleefully participated in the actions of the Legion or the Vanguard Kundrati Workers' Party will be stripped of their offices, military ranks and awards, pensions and be forbidden from running for office, voting, owning a business that relates to government, the media, and any public or semi public position, participating in a business in those sectors just mentioned, exclusion from the judiciary, journalism, education or professional organizations, and the loss to keep and bear arms for a period of from ten years to life and will be decided by a dedicated court on a case by case basis examining the relevant evidence. The courts will be held to a strict interpretation of the law and strict guidelines on the determination of decisions from the evidence provided to ensure impartiality and prevent corruption. Appeals can be made to the President of the Kundrati Union only if recommended by the Supreme Court.
-
Cabinet members of former Legionary or Vanguardist governments, holding certain high-ranking posts in slavery and death camps of the Legion or high-ranking posts of manpower organizations in the Vanguard, high-ranking members of the VKWP or the Legion, or high-ranking members of collaborationist organizations will have a minimum sentence of death by firing squad.
-
Individuals who have been found guilty but who will not be executed will have to sign a legally binding oath at the start of their sentence that ensures they will be loyal to the Kundrati Union, to the democratic institutions, to the maintenance of a peaceful international world, and to refrain from using violence in political matters or threatening to use violence for political matters. That oath will remain in effect for the rest of their lives, and breaking that oath will constitute breaking parole and will land them in jail, with their restored rights being stripped for a longer period to be determined by the court system. The judicial members of Legionary or Vanguardist courts will also be examined and punished in similar ways, though by separate courts.
-
When asked if this would increase the workload of the court system, the President said that it would, but that measures will have to be taken to ensure that fascist or Ordosocialist thought never comes to power again. He does not expect that this work will be finished by the end of his term, but work will have to be done anyway, and it will have to take as long as it needs to.
