It has been almost a month since the meeting of “concerned citizens” caused weekly protests. The movement has united conservatives across the political spectrum; however most of them are members of the current technocratic party. Last week a new, emergency meeting has been set on Sunday the 12th of March to discuss the future of the movement itself. Experts believe that this could be the birth of a new conservative party in Eflad.
After the collapse of the social democratic party in Besern a, relatively new, faction group of the socialist party faction, called “Moderate Linke” (Moderate left) has gained a lot of members. The most notable member - and the founder of the group - is Mattias Mikela, the party secretary. As a member of the party committee, he initiated a crisis sitting of the cabinet. The rumours are that the moderate left wants to rename and reposition the party to social democracy. The negotiations have been ongoing since two days, no further information ist available. Some senior members of the group are demanding to leave the party and form a new one.
