Viel Responds to Ferreira in Speech at Police StationYESTERDAY, Senate candidate Michael Ferreira (CTA) gave a speech at a rally in a farmer's hall. The main notion of his speech was the failure of the incumbent RGA government, a talking point that has been continually parodied across numerous platforms, most loudly Civic Union candidates. Ferreira's opponent, Alexios Viel (RGA), recently had his campaign institute a GOTV programme across the entire constituency, with volunteers already mobilised in the cities and small towns across the region. Mr. Ferreira has also enacted his own programmes.
Speaking at a rural police station, Viel took the stage to a polite smattering of applause. The event was voluntary to attend and open to the public — however, there was significant turnout among the policemen and women, as well as their families. Due to it being a rural area, the policemen were, to a high degree, farmers as well, and many in the public audience were too. "Thank you, thank you very much for taking the time out of your very busy days of protecting us to be with me today. Now, I'd like to give a quick shout-out to the police commissioner for allowing me to be here today — he was very kind to me and my staff, and at least for myself, I know how hard that can sometimes be." He finished the sentence with a smile and a wink, which drew some laughter and applause from the audience.
"Now, let's get straight to the headlines. My opponent, Michael Ferreira—"
He was interrupted by a few boos, but he rose his hand to silence them. "No no, my friends. Save your disapproval for election day." The crowd nodded in their approval, with a handful of whoops.
"As I was saying, my opponent recently held a rally down at one of our local farmers' halls. Now, I'd like to disclose that I am very thankful for Mr. Ferreira for not attacking me personally — I have done this before, and I now understand how bad it is for you, the people of our great country. Politics is about compromise and results, not petty hissy fits that I have worked hard on avoiding now that the RGA Party Administrator race is over."
"Mr. Ferreira introduced quite a lot of talking points in his speech, mostly echoing my previous points that my party has not done enough to help the people of this country. He also mentioned that many public services are not being funded correctly, and that workplace/employment affairs, along with the protection of unions, have been ignored. He went on to mention how his party, the CTA, has a number of priorities like establishing agricultural protections and investments into infrastructure."
"All of this is pretty great, right?" Many in the audience voiced their approval. "Yeah, it sure is — there's just one problem. All of these things the CTA champions have already had bills about them proposed and submitted. How do I know? Because I wrote a bunch of them."
"As I mentioned previously at my speech down at the automobile factory, my Labour Protection Act will grant full protections to those who participate in unions, as well as found them. Not only that, but my UA colleague Senator Janzen submitted the Agricultural Fuel Subsidies Act, allowing everyday farmers access to fuel that they wouldn't normally have. I was proud to co-sponsor his bill."
"Regarding infrastructure, my Federal Infrastructure Act will institute a two-part solution to deal with our ravaged, post-war roads and bridges: the Federal Infrastructure Rejuvenation Agency to quickly and efficiently begin the process of rebuilding, creating thousands of jobs in the process, and once its job is done, the National Organisation of Engineers will take over to ensure the routine maintenance and safety of our infrastructure, something that even the United States struggles with."
"This is not to say the CTA never submits bills — unfortunately, the only thing I've ever seen from them was from their point man, Beto Gonclaves, running for VP a second time with the CU's Krishnan. Even then, Mr. Gonclaves has only ever introduced two bills, both fine — an elections amendment and a language-related act. I personally co-sponsored his Language Act — I have no quarrel with Mr. Gonclaves."
"But, come on, let's get serious here. The CTA has had this whole time under a "failed" RGA incumbent government, and barely a peep of their "radical" changes in Fortaleza. My friends, it's clear: my party certainly has some hurdles to overcome to be the party that you deserve, but when it comes to results, actual legislation in our government, nobody comes close to the RGA."
"All parties may talk big, but only one can act big: the Red-Green Alliance. Vote for me, with the election so very very close, and I can assure you that I will not only talk, but actually get you the results you deserve."
The audience roared their approval, with applause and whoops dominating the room.
In other news, Viel himself has become an increasingly normal presence across our constituency, sitting down with voters in their barber shops, parlours, barns, offices and classrooms to really get a feel on how his potential constituents wish for him to work in the Senate. According to a press release from his campaign, Viel "became a strong advocate of tax reform after speaking to a teacher, who noted the fact that without a solid tax code, the country could not be stable in any meaningful way. A tax code plan by Mr. Viel has already been drafted, and he is working to find supporters so it can be submitted to the Senate."
Television and radio ads have also been purchased, with one radio ad reading:
"The Red-Green Alliance fights for you everyday in the Senate. Change is a tricky business — Alexios Viel is the only candidate with the guts and legislative experience to take on the challenges that face our country today. So go out and vote for Viel today!"
The polls will be open soon, so be sure to go out and vote. The Portimão Today will release a special, free election night edition once our employees have returned from voting the day of.

"Hello, my name is Draven Aldean and before you go to vote, I want to talk to you. When you look at the ballot, you want to pick the best candidate. A candidate who will best represent you and your family. Well, if you vote Edmund Clarke, you won't get that. He doesn't care enough to come out and talk to you, instead letting others stump for him. So before you vote, remember, vote for an active and caring candidate. Thank you.

Official General Union of Workers Press Release
The General Union of Workers voted today to endorse Iyasu Isaias Mengistu in NG-2, Shim Seo-yeon in Maabara At-Large, and Ritesh Bell in SA-2. We do so because of these three Senators' consistent support of workers' rights and democracy in the workplace. The endorsed Senators should expect the full support of the General Union of Workers in terms of canvassing and getting out the vote. Teams of union staffers will assist the candidates' in their efforts, and the UGT will conduct a GOTV campaign to ensure that these exemplary men and women win their elections.

Citizens of SA 2, listen please. You are going to choose your senator soon. But before you do, let me tell you, Ritesh Bell isn't your guy.
He isn't for you. He can't do things that Indira can do.
So please, vote Tamboli.
