Political turmoil in Thynia!
Today, in front of the XXI Congress of the Socialist Unity Front of Thrace, comrade Nicolae Kiseleff, President of the Thracian Democratic Republic, General Secretary of the Thracian Socialist Unity Front, Chairman of the Politburo of the Thracian Socialist Union Party, Chariman of the Great National Defense Committee of the Thracian Democratic Republic, Supreme Commander of the Thracian Red People's Armed Forces, Great Leader of the Thracian People's Struggle, The Father of the People, the First Son of the Nation, the Genius of the Istrio, declared his intention to resign. The 95 year old leader of the nations known as Thynia, or officially, the Thracian Democratic Republic, has explained in his speech that he is now old, and that the time has come for the young generations to take over. After a few good minutes of cheering, the Congress then proceeded to vote Michael Kiseleff as the new General Secretary of the Thracian Socialist Unity Front. The son of Nicolae Kiseleff then had a speech of his own, in which he described his desire to turn Thynia into an even bigger power, through an ambitious set of reforms. With the day's end, the Congress decided to postpone the rest of the meeting for tomorrow morning, where the discussions about the preparations for the next "elections" are going to be held. Despite how sudden this change of power is, not many people were surprised. It was already expected that Michael was going to inherit his father's powers after his resignation. A young and popular party commissar, Michael Kiseleff was schooled in the West, and many people believe that his reign might begin an era of liberalization in this strict, Auroran dictatorship.
Not everyone agreed to it though. Through the night, various reports were sent to Cadentigrad, including some about weird moves from units of the Thynian military. When the citizens of Thynia's capital woke up in the morning, they soon realized that some of the city's main streets were blocked by tanks and by soldiers. An armored unit was sent to the House of the Republic, surrounding it. It soon became obvious that a coup attempt was happening.

At 09:00, a press conference was announced. A declaration was aired on the Thynian National Television. Eight officials, from the Thynian military and administration announced a state of emergency throughout Thynia. In order to protect the Republic's freedom and independence, they declared the formation of the State Committee of the State of Emergency. The Committee refused to acknowledge the vote of the Congress and the position of Michael Kiseleff as the as the General Secretary of the Socialist Unity Front. They also declared that due to comrade Nicolae Kiseleff's resignation, the position of the President of the Thracian Democratic Republic was presently unoccupied. As such, the state was in danger. The Committee's members accused Michael Kiseleff of being a tool of foreign interests which want to destabilize Thynia and to destroy the Republic. They declared that Michael Kiseleff has to be arrested, and they asked for the support of the people. A few hours later, multiple military units were sent to the capital.
A few hours later, the local Cadentigrad Television aired a speech made by comrade Michael Kiseleff, the General Secretary of the Socialist Unity Front. Comrade Kiseleff denounced the State Committee of the State of Emergency as nothing more than a coup attempt, formed by enemies of the state. With a lot more charisma and confidence than the members of the coup, comrade Kiseleff declared that the Thracian Democratic Republic will act swiftly against any enemies of the Republic. Through his authority as General Secretary, comrade Kiseleff declared all the decisions of the Committee to be null and void. In his declaration, the General Secretary announced that all the members of the coup have to be arrested, and that everyone supporting them is a traitor of the Democratic Republic.
In the afternoon, reports came in that the armored unit surrounding the House of the Republic switched sides, pledging his loyalty to the General Secretary. Many citizens have started to arrive around the large palace in the center of Cadentigrad, forming barricades, ready to defend their leader.
