New Political Party for Baracão

Jose Barrio-Martinez, formerly of the Partido Nacionalista and Christo de Loutrado, formerly of the Frente Popular, have joined forces to form the Partido Social Democrata. The formation comes as both citizens found themselves agreeing with the theory that Baracão's political system is that of "an ex-Soviet republic". The PSD's logo, shown above, has been used as the signature of Señor Barrio-Martinez in an illegal form. Despite being warned of this, the PSD's whip ad interim continued to use the illegal image and el Presidente, under the Right to Signatures Act, was authorised to remove the offending signature from the citizen's post.

The Partido Social Democrata claims that it will draw "on the best and most enduring elements of classical liberalism, libertarian socialism and classical anarchism but adapts these to contemporary circumstances within a uniquely Baracaon [sic passim] cultural framework that appeals to the best within our libertarian and revolutionary traditions." Some Baracãoans have wondered whether or not de Loutrado will import his Babkhan "New Democracy" featured in previous editions of Tiegismo Hoy, however the assurance in the PSD's manifesto that Baracão's unique culture will be maintained is comforting, if not entirely convincing, with the lack of correct use of the Baracãoan language throughout, and, Tiegismo Hoy fears, even the name of the party.

Tiegismo Hoy hopes that early setbacks will not get in the way of a renaissance in Baracão's political scene. The new party, which has registered with the Ministry of the Interior, comes at a time when the Frente Popular have begun the process of closing its forum to the general public. The Chairman of the Frente, after the suggestions of several Frentistas, has proposed that closing the forum to all but members of the Frente Popular should be linked with the development of a website containing information about the Frente, including its Constitution, Manifesto, et cetera. The call comes after non-Frentistas began to make a nuisance of themselves in the Frente's headquarters, despite being aske to leave. Barrio-Martinez, one of these, has complained that the Frente intends to curtail his right to free speech. The Frente Popular has recently been dynamised by the increased activity of Compañeros Valencia and Koba, and looks to continue its progress further.
