Civil Union candidate Nick Haverkamp narrowly won the first round of voting with the two votes of the Liberal Democrat Party, which had pledged to coalition with the CU.

A reporter asks Senator Bella what the heck the Civil Union is, and reminds him that a few senators voting will not alter the national outcome which is determined by millions of votes. Another reporter asks the senator why he thinks FPTP is a fair voting system. A third reporter asks if and why such childish behavior by a senator is appropriate for someone running the country.

In an industrial park in Fortaleza's suburbs, which mainly processes scrap metals, the Industrial Scrap Workers' Union of Fernão has organized sit-ins occupying the land and making regular work impossible. An anonymous union organizer explained that the primary goal of the sit-in is to obtain higher standards for the laborers, after an incident nearly a week ago, when worker Nutan Ashtikar was killed in a machine malfunction. The factory's supervisors reportedly told other workers to get back to work, and not mention the incident to friends or family. Investigation and conversation with workers has proven this incident to be only the straw that broke the camels' back, in fact other similar incidences have occurred in the past, even at the same factory.
When asked, most protesters said they would "most likely" vacate the premises if ordered to do so by the police, but a large majority said they would act in self-defense if the factory supervisors and/or private security attempt to restore control.
Ex-President and more recently failed presidential hopeful, Senator Vishal Vig, was seen meeting with union organizers and talking with protesters. When asked, Senator Vig said his party's roots were in unionism, and he would offer whatever support he could to the protest. This is a pivot to the left for the ex-president, who typically has assumed a public center-left position when in positions of power. It can be theorized that the recent surge of centrist support for the Popular Alliance has left the core RGA a more radical bloc.

From the Desk of the President-Elect
and the Secretary-Designate of Health and Labour
RE: the Industrial Scrap Workers' Union Sit-InsThe disgruntled workers of our nation are tired of their government's inaction on labour rights. Our administration recognizes this, and we sympathise deeply with their frustration. It has been months since the first reading of the Labour Protection Act was invoked, and since then the Senate has been embroiled in partisan battle after partisan battle — not one genuinely substantive legislation making it to the President's desk. But playing the blame game will not help the workers of our country, nor will it ease the Senate's gridlock.
Our administration, with the Department of Health and Labour, is fully committed to seeing real workers' rights introduced to Fernão. This administration will not sit idly by as hundreds of thousands of people go to dangerous workplaces for little pay, terminated for exercising their right to form a union. We hope that all of us, no matter our partisan affiliation, are able to see the genuine strife afflicting the people that make our nation possible everyday. We invite all Senators, Governors, and Assemblymen across the nation to join us in our fight to ensure the well-deserved rights of every worker.Vienna Eliot
President-Elect of the Republic
Alexios Viel

He'd watched as the television announced him as the nominee for Secretary of Health and Labour, and he was determined to ensure that he fulfilled his job. He had allowed one of his private bodyguards to follow him around that night, seeing as he might be a potential target now that he was a Cabinet nominee.
As he turned a corner, he entered a small, minimally-lit park some miles away from the Haverkamp election party, which he had passed by some time before. The park was deserted, except for a lone figure hunched over on a park bench in front of a small lagoon. Curious, Viel approached the bench from the side, his bodyguard making sure to stand slightly in front of him so any bullets would be stopped by his bulletproof vest. The figure didn't turn to him as he reached the bench and sat down, silently contemplating the refracting light dancing above the inky lake. The man's hair quickly tipped Viel off that it was Agramonte, though he didn't want to announce his identity just yet. The two sat there for maybe ten minutes in wordless introspection, before he finally said, "Tough day, mate?"
