After many months of protesting by many citizens of the Republic of Portugal. King Erakian I has declared that the Republic of Portugal will be now a democratic nation. While he has stated that the Royal Family of Portugal will still have power, it will only be a constitutional monarchy. King Erakian I has stated that the King/Queen will only be allowed to take on full power under situations like war, when there is no President or the event that an election ends up being tied. King Erakian has also stated that he plans to run for President along with the 5 other candidates.
There are many different responses about the country entering its first Democratic stage some happy and some not so happy.
Democratic activist, Fabio Denta said " Finally we are under a proper government, now all we need is to execute the king"
Loyalist, Joao Muns said "How can you betray your King and put so much pressure on him to make us democratic, democracy doesnt WORK
Whether the people are happy or not, the election will be a big decider on how the country will take a stance in the future.
