Women's Military Division Formed
Posted Image
Autumber 16th, 316 AR

By Pedro Armesto
The Revolutionary Directorate has jointly decided that the Montarian army will start recruiting women to set up a 'Women's Division'. The aim is to recruit 12,000 female soldiers, dedicated to protecting their country and the Revolution. The government wants the future army of Montaria to consist both of males and females. The government presented its newest announcement with an impressive parade of female soldiers who have already been enlisted for the future division. Most of them were disciplined, physically fit and their faces revealed a deadly focus. That was because the majority of the women parading in Santa Maria today are hardened veterans from the Women's Army of National Liberation, belonging to the units of Comandanta Ramona and Comandanta Eillen.

The decision to form a women's division within the Montarian army was probably already taken during the negotiations that preceeded the formation of the Revolutionary Directorate. Comandanta Clara, a close associate from Eillen, became a member in this council and is mostly responsible for the military. She will likely personally assume command of the Women's Division. She was seen next to Eillen during the parade in Santa Maria earlier today, in military attire, saluting the troops. The troops paraded through the heart of Santa Maria, nowadays decorated with enormous murals dedicated to fallen comrades and leaders of the Revolution. The formation of this division is part of a number of reforms that will affect the Montarian army in the future. Many regiments have been disbanded, pending investigations after their alleged involvement in war crimes, many officers have been fired or even arrested and the vast majority of the troops has been disarmed.

The military parade was attended not only by the Revolutionary Council and the Council of Ministers, among them prime minister Camilo Canseco, but also by foreign dignitaries of Lomarre and Falsea. Especially the presence of Falseans at the military parade reinforced the growing rumors that secretive talks have begun between the Montarian government and Falsea. It has raised questions whether Eillen and premier Canseco plan on joining the Trilateral Alliance - a communist military bloc founded by Falsea. The recently appointed Montarian minister of foreign affairs, Esteban Cabrera, is not only the brother of the Father of the Montarian anti-fascist resistance - he was also a dedicated Marxist guerilla fighter who fought with the ELN for many decades. This continues to spark rumors around a possible turn to the Communist Bloc in the near future.

The government has refused to answer questions on the matter, and the Revolutionary Directorate remains vague about its foreign policies. Officially, the new republic seeks justice, democracy and liberty. Not much more has been released about the future foreign policy plans. Jorge Balmaceda however, member of the Revolutionary Directorate and spokesperson of the Partido Moderado de Montaria, said that if Montaria would join the Trilateral Alliance he and his militants would withdraw their support to the revolutionary government. Balmaceda openly expressed his preference to join the GFTECA. ''Through the years, the GFTECA has proven to be a solid bloc that has succesfully spread political and economic liberty in Galdresia. There is where we should be looking in our search for freedom'', concluded the former lawyer. Not only Balmaceda thinks about it that way in the RD. His views are backed by Emiliano Guillen and Ignacio Veron. Gustavo Alzugaray, the political leader of the Trotskyist MAC has also expressed his distaste for the Trilateral Alliance. In a communique, he referred to the TA as a bulwark of Red Fascism, bureaucratic corruption and national revolutionary hysteria. Few people however care about what Alzugaray or the MAC has to say these days. The future of Montaria remains uncertain and shrouded in mystery. What we do know for sure, is that our new government has at least some ties to both Lomarre and Falsea and we know for sure that the power struggles have begun. Eillen's leadership qualities will be put to the test during these months.

Eva Villa de Santiago Wins Elections
Posted Image
328 AR

By Pedro Armesto
The PSLN has once more seen its political mandate confirmed by the Montarian people. With 53% of the votes, the Partido Socialista de Liberacion Nacional is again the big winner of the Montarian parliamentary elections. Since its founding, the PSLN hasn't lost an election in Montaria. The party, once built around the Montarian revolutionary leader Comandanta Eillen, is still widely regarded by the Montarian people as the true movement of the Montarian Revolution that brought the country democracy, liberty, justice and increased standards of living.

Comandanta Eillen became Montaria's first democratic leader since the Loyola Dictatorship was overthrown in 316 AR. The movements that supported her joined forces in what became the PSLN that won the elections of 320, 324 and now in 328 AR. Shortly before the election campaigns started, Comandanta Eillen suddenly announced her retirement from politics and vanished. Her successor, Eva Villa de Santiago, managed to secure the election victory, despite the loss of the movement's iconic figure. In 324 AR the PSLN secured 59% of the vote, 6% more than this year's elections.

The Partido Moderado has lost as well in relation to the previous elections. They managed to secure only 26% of the vote. The New Democratic Party, the centre-left party that split away from the PSLN, won 6% of the votes. The Rightist PUN went from 5% 4 years ago, to 13% this year. The Trotskyist MAC stays on 2%.

Eva Villa de Santiago celebrated the PSLN victory at a mass rally of the PSLN in Santa Maria. She thanked the people for giving her this chance to succeed Comandanta Eillen and to continue the ''True Revolution of Women's Liberation''. During her victory speech, Villa lashed out against the PUN and its support for the armed rebellion of the United Front in the north of Montaria. The north-eastern region of the island has been dominated now for a few months by right-winged anti-socialist and anti-feminist militias, following the leadership of ''el Caudillo'' Hernan Roldan Belmonte. Villa called the United Front a ''fascist organization'' of former ''collaborators'' of the Loyola dictatorship. She warned that the PUN and the United Front are enemies of the people who want to re-impose the Loyola dictatorship.

But there was also an element of reconciliation in the words of Eva Villa de Santiago. She expressed her hope that, in the name of the Montarian Revolution, it would be possible for the PSLN to start cooperating with the ''moderate opposition'' such as the NPD and the Partido Moderado. She said it was important to ''unify the democratic and progressive forces'' against the rise of the ''reactionary right'', by which she meant the PUN and the United Front.

A big surprise came when the future prime minister published a letter she had received from Comandanta Eillen. She read it before a crowd of almost 200.000 cheering Montarians. Comandanta Eillen addressed the letter the Montarian People and she wishes the people strength in its combat against the United Front. She expressed her confidence in Eva Villa de Santiago in the letter, and that she is very happy. Comandanta Eillen writes that she has been travelling across the world and that her experiences have strengthened her ''revolutionary Feminist convictions''. Eillen is disappointed in the ''deplorable state of the planet'' and encourages the Montarian people and government to make greater efforts at exporting the Montarian Revolution and its ideals to other countries.
