Hardliners purged in the MRN; The extent of reforms.
----------------------
June 17th, 5674
----------------------
It would seem that, despite the so called unity on the mainland, reports have emerged of a soft purge. It's been no surprise that the mainland and the MRN have chosen the route of reform some time ago, and it's no surprise that it would face challenges. Despite their claims of "protecting the National Revolution", the reforms have only shown that the MRN is spineless. Despite high hopes for potential peaceful reapproachment with the mainland, those hopes have been dashed. Even if the Claire Administration has shown no interest in foreign policy, this soft purge in the MRN doesn't inspire confidence. Even if it's against hardliners.
Sources report that this purge has only focused on the most conservative and hardline elements within the MRN. It's likely that these positions will be replaced by moderate reformists or Vasseurites. This can make reforms easier, but it can also very much be a consolidation of power. And a fascist government is still fascist, irregardless of whether it is reformist or not. So far, these reforms have only proven to be serving the MRN and not actually genuine reforms to fix things. Whether that changes or not is yet to be seen. But it is unlikely. Whatever the case, this purge does not signal good optics abroad. Obviously all of Meriath is hostile to the mainland, so good optics is impossible, but it does beg the question. The purging of hardliners and conservatives in the government of the mainland sets a precedent and leaves the question of, what truly are the plans by the Solé regime? Speaking of which, the Solé regime has been eerily silent on this, not even acknowledging the purge. This makes sense as no fascist state will ever proclaim that it's conducting a purge on itself. But, this does not bode well for reformist hopes.
Whatever the case, it is difficult to ultimately tell without proper confirmation from the mainland itself. And given the state of press on the mainland, it is unlikely for anything to be confirmed.
