Military advance on Alkenne; Solé found dead as Astier is sworn in as President.

The Solites blinked first. Yesterday, after a turbulent standoff, the military advanced on Alkenne as all attempts to peacefully resolve the situation failed. Fortunately, fighting was sparse. With casualties still being confirmed, one of the key casualties that has been confirmed is Solé, who was found dead in the National Assembly. With Alkenne still under martial law and several cities across the country entering chaos, David Astier has quickly been nominated as President of the National State of Rildanor, and has quickly formed a Provisional Salvation Committee, consisting of various surviving reformists. While criticism is sparse due to the chaos engulfing other cities, it is worth noting that this Provisional Salvation Committee does consists of radical reformists, akin to Astier who have a questionable commitment to the ideals of the Rildanorien National Revolution and the MRN ideology.
One of the first things on the Astier agenda is rewriting the constitution, and bringing about radical drastic changes, as well as address concerns by the public over the economic situation and stability. As Alkenne returns to stability, state media is starting to return to life, and spread the narrative. However, they've also noticably embraced a reformist tint, even opening the door to criticism of the state. While it's hard to say if something like democracy is possible or even reunification, those goals have the best chance under Astier, who has an ambitious plan for Rildanor. With whatever remains of the MRN behind him, public support being shaky but supportive and the military simply wanting stability, Astier is arguably in a good spot.
And should the constitution be rewritten, then we can very much see the possibility of most if not all authoritarian clauses in the Constitution outright thrown out. What is most likely to be thrown out are the undeniably fascist aspects of the constitution. And a constitutional rewrites only begs the question of whether reunification with Meriath is possible.
