Part of the command of the defense forces arrested, army is to be reorganized and efforts at mobilizing the masses to be increased.

The military police in the early morning hours stormed some military facilities across the country to arrest officers of the defense forces that during the crisis of November and December 2020 that at first refused to follow the orders of the Alexander Bílý and instead collaborated with forces trying to keep Michal Plachta in office. The command of the defense forces have later joined the calls for Plachta's resignation and up until now weren't prosecuted for their previous actions. Among the most notable officers arrested are general Rytíř and general Procházka. They are suspected of treason, for breaking an oath of loyalty to the socialist establishment of the democratic republic. All the arrested officers await trial. It will be the first time since the foundation of the Extraordinary People's Court that the defendants will be from the defense forces.

In order to secure the loyalty of the high command Reiserová's Government has decided to reorganize the army The political commissars are to play a larger role in the command of the army, ensuring its political reliability and adherence to democratic principles. The soldiers will now also be required to swear an oath of loyalty to the President of the Republic. At the same time more time will be dedicated to fighting bullying in the defense forces with tougher punishments.

The disloyalty that the high command of the armed forces have shown in the previous year also led Reiserová's Government to conclude that the mobilization of the masses is of upmost importance, so that every citizen does their duty of defending their Motherland. For that reasons new education programs will be introduce to the schools, directed at teaching kids how to act in the situation of danger. The Pioneers will now also swear an oath of loyalty to the President of the Republic. Older students at universities will also be required to learn how to handle firearms and the People's Militias are to be expanded.

The Ministry of Education has began talks with state-sponsored associations of students functioning in Czech universities like the Association of Impecunious and Progressive Students about the quality of their educators. The Ministry has promised to hear the students out and bring necessary changes. Some students protest this decision, claiming the state-sponsored associations of students are driven ideologically and there is a risk of ending the careers of educators that do not adhere to the policy of the Socialist Republican Party. Other students however praise the action of the Government and its willingness to listen to their demands, and democratizing Czech universities.

Number of officially registered parties growing

Since the Gouvernement of Czech Slavia declared the situation in the state to be mostly stabilized a number of registered parties has been increasing. Among the registered parties are the Party of the Democratic Left and the Green Party, both of which have the potential to reach 5% of the votes according to official polls.

The Party of the Democratic Left was founded by former members of the Social Democratic Party of Czech Slavia around Petr Hájek. Hájek assumed the leadership of Czech Social Democrats after Alois Jelen has departed from the Democratic Republic to the Commonwealth of Leagio, Hájek was since trying to get the Social Democratic Party re-registered, but this has only happened after the return of Alois Jelen. Jelen assumed the official leadership of the party again, refusing to hold a extraordinary leadership election as Hájek demanded, for the reason of preparing for the upcoming legislative election, after this Hájek and hiss supporters requested for the Party of the Democratic Left to be registered. Both social democratic parties hold the view that the other party is made up of the liberal wing of the formely unified party that is abandoning left-wing politics and the ordinary people of Czech Slavia.

The Green Party is an environmentalist party that has existed since the 1990's and was now re-registered.

The Civic Forum and the Czech National Democracy have not been re-registered so far as their leaders are still suspected of attempting to overthrow the republic and are currently avoiding trial living abroad. Some liberal, conservative and nationalist groups have since requested registration of new political parties or movements but were not so far been approved. Leaders of both CF and CND have condemned the restrictions on political parties accusing the ruling Socialist Republican Party of only allowing controlled opposition to run in the election that will take place in October this month. This accusation has been rejected by all registered political parties.

Alliance of Independent Mayors and Civic Democrats is the last registered party that will compete in the 2021 Legislative Election.

The Alliance of Independent Mayors and Civic Democrats was officially registered as political party yesterday, which was also the last day to submit registration for the legislative election that will take place in October. The leader of the Alliance, Vít Sršeň, said that despite being allowed to run in the election the establishment has done everything to make sure that the elections are not fair.

"We officially requested for registration at the start of February this year and despite the Government proclaiming that the situation is mostly stabilized back in March, we were not registered until 16 hours before the deadline to submit registration for the legislative election. We had to quickly make sure that our candidacy lists are ok with our candidates, make any changes quickly without the possibility for ordinary processes to be able to submit our registration. Our ability to campaign before we were officially registered, was also limited, while other parties could start their campaigns. I really think that the SRP did everything in its power to make the election as unfair as possible." commented Sršeň.

The Alliance of Independent Mayors and Civic Democrats is mostly made up of former members of the Civic Forum, including mayors of municipalities who refused to side with the Socialist Republican Party during the crisis in December 2020.. As the Civic Forum was not officially re-registered it is expected that the AIMCD will attract most of its previous electorate.

No signifiant nationalist group was officially registered and the Czech National Democracy also wasn't re-registered. Former leader of the CND, Klára Zbouralová, suspected of attempting a coup against the Republic, has issued a statement in which she claims that such actions only demonstrate how afraid of patriotic movement the Government is.

The Parliament passes a motions to fight obesity and unhealthy lifestyle, increases the powers of the President

Yesterday, the parliament has passed motions aimed at fighting obesity and unhealthy lifestyle. One of the motions raises the requirements for the quality of food to be sold, effectively banning some junk food from fast foods and restaurants, for example certain types of pizza, and allowing selling only limited amount of other types of junk food, for example milkshakes.

The other motion amends the guidelines for the Czech Film Administration to prevent screening of films promoting unhealthy lifestyle in cinemas across the country. This includes films in which the protagonists, among other factors, excessively drink alcohol, excessively smoke cigarettes, take illegal drugs, regularly eat unhealthy, harm themselves, suffer from anorexia or bulimia. This does not affect educational films or films about overcoming these difficulties, or showing their damaging affects. Films in which the protagonists drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes or eat unhealthy few times during the film will be allowed to be screened at cinemas to adult audiences. All films will still be allowed to be purchased and screened privately.

Both laws were passed supported by the representatives of the Socialist Republican Party and the Communist Party of Czech Slavia, representatives of the Social Democratic Party of Czech Slavia opposed both. The leader of the SDPCS, Alois Jelen, warned that such laws will hurt the trust of Czech Slavia in the eyes of local and foreign businesses, in turn hurting the development of the economy. The leader of the CPCS, Josef Hrzal, has explained that the Communist cautiously support the laws, as he considers them to lessen the dependance of Czech Slavia on foreign capital. "Despite our cautious support of the two proposed laws, the Government and the Socialist Republicans continue to prove that they are nothing but mercenaries of foreign capital and our support for the two laws in no way mean that we support the position of the Government and the Socialist Republican Party on the economy. Despite claiming to be the Party of the working class, the worker in Czech Slavia have even less representation then in other European countries, on the contrary the Socialist Republicans stand for the interest of the Kligenberg family as the only permitted labour unions work to prevent workers at the Kligenberg Industries from striking to achieve their goals. Such Government and its policies remain unacceptable to us!" said Hrzal during the Parliament debate.

A constitutional law giving the President of the Democratic Republic a right to issue decrees for the Government has been passed by the Parliament by the votes of the representatives of the SRP, representatives of the SDPCS and the CPCS opposed the law.

The representatives of the CPCS and some of the representatives of the SDPCS have tried to pass a condemnation of the actions of the People's Militias, the paramilitary wing of the Socialist Republican Party, which according to them harass the candidates of opposition and extra-parliamentary political parties. The extra-parliamentary Alliance of Independent Mayors and Civic Democrats, Party of the Democratic Left and the Green Party have also complained about harassment of their candidates, which they claim is organized by the SRP and carried out by the People's Militias. The proposed condemnation would urge the Government to stop the harassment of the candidates. The condemnation was blocked by the representatives of the SRP and did not pass. Some of the representatives of the SDPCS did not vote.

The Speaker of the Parliament, Antonín Smetana, has called the proposed condemnation "a desperate attempt by the politicians lacking the support of the people to campaign on baseless accusation while the Socialist Republican Party works for the country." and predicted that the voters will soon appreciate the work done by the SRP and refuse the campaigning by the opposition. President Albína Reiserová has also spoken about the accusation, refusing that the Socialist Republican Party would organize a harassment campaign against candidates of any political party. She has stated that the candidates in question may be getting criticism from the people of Czech Slavia who well remember the crisis in the winter of 2020 and do not want to repeat it. She has also stated that her Government will in no way limit people from expressing themselves. "For those politicians, who are now complaining about the so called harassment, democracy ends in the election room. But for the Socialist Republicans, democracy expands on the streets and the workplaces and we won't stand down from our dedication to democracy. There will be no limitations on the freedom of expression . And the people are expressing themselves, they are rejecting chaos and the anti-people policies of those who oppose the Socialist Republican Party!" said President Reiserová regarding the issue.

The Mother of the Nation listens to the people, answers their demands to become a President for life

The Architect of Socialism Albína Reiserová attended a meeting of the Socialist Association of Single Parents, of which the President is the Honorary Chairwoman, sponsored by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and the Ministry of Health. Reiserová was welcomed by the comrades of the Socialist Association of Single Parents with joy and chants.

Albína Reiserová called the meeting very motivating, she said she was most moved by a speech of comrade Anna Jelínková a young single mother that serves in the People's Militias and by an encounter with an elderly comrade Mojmír Kopecký. Both moments will be shown on Reiserová's Moments tomorrow.

We bring you the speech of comrade Jelínková:

"Dear comrades, I am proud to stand here today in the uniform of a militiawoman as it is a great pride for me and all my sisters and brothers in uniform to defend socialism in our Motherland. In the history of our country there has never been a Party that would do more for the people than the Socialist Republican Party. Despite being a single mother I am never on my own with my child. The Government always supports me, like all the single mothers. Due to benefits provided to me I never have to worry about having enough money to feed my child nor do I have to worry about losing the roof over my head or my job, I am supported in every step I take to ensure that my child can live a happy and healthy childhood with access to quality education.

But these things are not universaly granted around the world, in many places a single parent or even a poor pair can't afford to have a baby. And if the woman in those countries becomes pregnant she is put before the choice of having the baby and living in poverty or having an abortion. In some countries, even in the European Union women even lack the right to get a safe abortion and in order to not economically destroy themselves, along with their baby, they have to get an abortion illegally, with all the health risks. Because of a religious oppression women are stripped of their rights and have to choose between bringing their child into a life of misery and poverty or risking their own health just to get an abortion. On the other hand some of the countries in Europe let drugs destroy the future of many talented young people striking them into a miserable life of addiction, now this comrades, this is what I call a murder! And not only a murder on an individual but on the entire nation as many talents that would have been useful to the nation get crushed.

This is why I decided to join the People's Militias, because all my happiness, strength and life were given to me by the Socialist Republican Party. If I lived elsewhere or if anti-people groups got a grip on power in this country, I quite possibly would not be able to provide a satisfactory living for my baby. And I want my kid to live in a socialist society too, without an existential threat looming over head. In a prosperous society without drugs and the oppression of women. For that I swear that I will do all that I can to protect the workers control of the state without giving up an inch of it. Long live the Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia, Long live the Socialist Republican Party, Long live comrade President Reiserová!"

Mojmír Kopecký was born in 1933 to a single mother who died when he was just four years old in an a factory accident, due to low safety standards maintained by the private owner. Comrade Kopecký has since been an orphan who later joined the predecessor party of the SRP, and enthusiastically took part in the building of socialism. President Reiserová shook his hand and expressed her deep admiration for him. He informed the President that he always was and always will be loyal to the party and that never in his life has he valued any politician as much as her. He explained that he values the Wise Leader for her defense of the revolution, her diplomatic abilities, mainly the improvement of relations of Inquista which has brought many opportunities to Czech Slavia and improving the perception of Czech Slavia in the European Union to such a level that a Czech candidate was twice elected for the position of Premier Commissioner and her leadership of the SRP which brought it a great victory in the legislative election in October. Lastly comrade Kopecký added that he would like for Albína Reiserová to become a President for life.

This proposition met with a long standing ovation and chanting from the Socialist Association of Single Parents members. After the ovation Albína Reiserová responded with great humility to the members of the Association: "Dear comrades, as a President of a Democratic Republic where all power belongs to the people, I decide that I will accept your demand." Her response met with another long standing ovation.

Speaker of the National Assembly Antonín Smetana announced that following the demands of the masses the SRP will vote for a Referendum on extending Reiserová's term limit to life. The referendum will be held on 17-18 December.

The opposition and extra-parliamentary Parties already announced their disagreement with the Referendum. All the opposition parties issued a common statement accusing the Referendum as being undemocratic and accused the Mother of the Nation of trying to restrict any presidential elections in which she could have opponents.

We urge all the Socialist Republican Party members and supporters to publicly display their support for President Reiserová's term limit being expended to life. Forward left, not a step back!

What is Socialist Republicanism

Socialist Republicanism is a brilliant and original contribution of Albína Reiserová, Leader of the Progressive Mankind, to the national and international thought, influenced by by the philosophy of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, that is leading the people of Czech Slavia towards highly developed socialism and prosperity.

Socialist Republicanism recognises the masses of working people as the driving force of historical progress. It also recognises the relation between a parent and their children as eternal and natural and for the working people to be successful in their fight against their class enemy it is essential that this relation is established between them and the Great Leader from their ranks. The role of the Great Leader is to guide the workers' masses to maturity and success, which would otherwise not be possible, as a parent guides their children. The Great Leader, the Parent of the Nation, must be chosen by the people themselves for the establishment of this relation.

Czech Socialist Republicanism is a path towards prosperity suited for the conditions and realities of Czech Slavia, it doesn't claim to be a path best suited at all times for people of all countries. It promotes co-operation and brotherhood between people around the world in order to achieve prosperity, regardless of their selected path.

The Extraordinary People's Court disbanded following the trials with Alexandra Kovářová, Klára Zbouralová and Michal Plachta

Earlier in February the Republic of Istkalen, at the request of the Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia extradited Alexandra Kovářová, Klára Zbouralová and Michal Plachta. All the defendants were charged with treason and attempting a coup, and all three pledged innocence. The Court found all the defendants guilty of all the crimes. All the defendants were sentenced to twenty five years in prison and penal labour in the Rare Earth Metals mining industry.

Since December 2020 all of the putschists were residing in foreign countries. In January 2022 Klára Zbouralová and Michal Plachta visited Alexandra Kovářová in the Kingdom of Spain to coordinate their actions, but left the country, reportedly due to safety concerns.

Following the sentencing of the putschists, the Office of the President of the Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia issued a statement calling the situation in Czech Slavia as fully stabilized and thus called for the dissolution of the Extraordinary People's Court as its mission has been fulfilled. All of the present members of the National Assembly voted in favour of disbanding the Extraordinary People's Court yesterday.

Civic Forum was re-registered as a political party after the sentencing of Kovářová and is currently led by Jan Zavadil.

Šampalíková called for a more hostile stance towards the Government of Albína Reiserová, accusing it of totalitarianism. On the other hand Šampalíková proposed closer cooperation with the Party of the Democratic Left, led by Petr Hájek, a former member of the SDPCS, which received 6,84% of the votes and won 28 mandates in the 2021 legislative election. Jelen was criticized by Šampalíková for his antagonism towards the PDL and inability to attract the nationalist voters to the Social Democratic Party.

The National Assembly approves amendment of the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia to include Albína Reiserová thought in the Preamble of the Constitution as a guiding principle of the Democratic Republic

Yesterday the National Assembly approved the proposition by the Government of the Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia to include Albína Reiserová Thought in the Preamble of the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia as a guiding principle of the Democratic Republic. All parliamentarians from the Socialist Republican Party voted for the proposition while parliamentarians from the opposition parties all voted against the proposition.

A small gathering of communist activists, not affiliated with the Communist Party of Czech Slavia, which they criticize for, what they perceive as, nationalist and conservative stances, protested against the Amendment in front of the seat of the National Assembly while the voting on the proposed Amendment took place. The activists criticized the President for Life and her Government for being devoid of any ideology, convictions or principles and disputed that Albína Reiserová Thought would be a coherent principle that could guide the state.

The parliamentary opposition parties as well as number of extra-parliamentary movements called for demonstrations against the Amendment in the following weeks and months.

The Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia bans its citizens from operating private businesses in foreign states

The President for Life Albína Reiserová signed a legislation barring the citizens of the Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia from operating private businesses in foreign states and owning stocks in companies operating in foreign states. Current owners of businesses or stocks operating in foreign states have four months to sell their assets located outside Czech Slavia. Otherwise those assets will face nationalization and their sale will be administered by the respective state-owned companies. Members of the Socialist Republican Party have also been urged by the Party to sell their assets outside of the Democratic Republic in three months. Currently only a limited number of companies own assets outside Czech Slavia, but their amount, and the amount of companies planning to expend into foreign states, has been on a rise in the last two months.

The ministries of Finance and Industry and Trade issued statements calling the legislation significant for motivating Czech business owners to invest more into Czech Slavia and thus contribute greatly to building of socialism in the Democratic Republic. Representative and the Leader of the Alliance of Independent Mayors and Civic Democrats Vít Sršeň criticized the legislation as an another attack on private ownership and hypothesized that the Socialist Republican Party started to fear business owners becoming more independent on the SRP. According to him, the legislation has a goal of stomping out potential dissent and further subjugating the business owners. He also criticized the legislation as slowing down the economic rise. Other opposition parties also expressed negative attitude toward the legislation and the fact of how quickly and without any discussion it was approved by the National Assembly and signed by the President for Life.
