13 December 2018 15:45 | Berun, Frievolker EmpireAt exactly 12 a.m. of 13 December, the First phase of the Election Week has officially ended. Of the 115,004,461 registered potential voters, 89,980,003 have cast their vote (bringing the exact turnout to 78%), and the 64 new democratically elected Fursts have joined the 16 Hereditary Princes to form the new Fursthaus.
Close to the pre-electoral predictions, KPF, and APF control the largest numbers of seats with The Constitutionalists controlling 27, three less than what they did in the last election while the Absolutists are two down at 18. Surprisingly, the former minor opposition in the Grand Imperial Party has taken the third largest number of seats with 12. Talks of a new Coalition between the Constitutionalists and the Grand Imperial Party have started, though it will not be confirmed or denied until 18th of December, when the new Diät is officially formed.

Frievolk, Germany, Iberia warn France to contain its Yellow Vests after 7 similar riots occur in said countries.

The Yellow Vests movement (French: Mouvement des gilets jaunes) is a socio-political and economic movement that began demonstrating in open public protests in France on 17 November 2018. Generally Motivated by rising fuel prices, the high cost of living and claims that a disproportionate burden of the government's tax reforms were falling on the working and middle classes (especially those in rural and peri-urban areas), protesters have called for reductions in fuel taxes, the reintroduction of the solidarity tax on wealth, the raising of the minimum wage, and the resignation of the President of France, Emmanuel Macron.
While originally peaceful, the protests- particularly in Paris- deviated into riot and violence and in true French tradition, spread to the neighboring countries as well. German Alsace, as well as our very own Sudseit Dover and the Belgian Walloon (both territories with a relatively large French minorities) along with the Border regions in Iberian Occitania and Aquitaine have all seen similarly-themed protests over somewhat similar affairs. Threatened that a new wave of protests may destabilize Europe -not to mention, deviate into national-exclusionist rhetoric or worse-, France's European neighbors have repeatedly demanded the French government to "Deal with" the situation as quickly as possible. Given the WA Resolution on "State Conduct against Demonstrations", however, it is not possible for France to deal with the situation in the manner it usually does (that is to say, with Water cannons, brutal suppression, and arbitrary arrest) without any political consequences in an International scene.
The most recent of these protests, in the Frievolker Calais, led to 756,000Ƒ in public property damage, as well as 7 people injured in the protests themselves.
