Venezuelan Senate announced!

Caracas ~ Leader of the Republic Antonio Chavez and Deputy of the Republic Maria Sanchez announced the formation of the Venezuelan Senate this morning with little fanfare. State elections are to be held in 2 days and senators are to be elected by direct vote. When asked by Republican News why only 2 days had been allowed for, citing the lack of campaign time, LR Chavez replied, "Anyone worthy of holding high office in the Republic has earned the respect of the people. History has shown that the best leaders have had leadership thrust upon them suddenly and unasked for. Indeed once the VS convenes for the 1st time, I plan on pushing a bill that would make this sentiment law by outlawing political parties and campaigning and standardizing the process of write-in and direct voting."

Much remains to be seen as to how much support this proposed bill will have in the VS and the Republican News will keep a close tab on it's development.

Formation of the Venezuelan Army announced!

Caracas ~ General Che Marriott, a noted leader in the Battle of Caracas, has been declared Chief of the Army and has announced the immediate reorganization of the 'horde' as it's become known into a professional army. Rumor in the capital also has it that an air force will soon be announced as well.

Republican Port of Caracas reopens!

Caracas ~ The Republican Port of Caracas officially entered into full operation today. Slated to be the primary port in the Republic, LR Chavez invited business leaders from across South America to tour the port and city promising them that the city would look as prosperous as it had in the days of old and bragging that it could not be noticed that the city was only recently resettled. Apparently LR Chavez wasn't unjustified as his office released the announcement just before LR Chavez's invitation that American Biotech, a Boston based start-up rumored to be going places, had agreed to build a new laboratory in Downtown Caracas. It is slated to be AB's largest to date and is projected to bring in at least 9.8 million pesos to the city in the 1st year alone, mostly from local redevelopment.

OOC: I'm RPing from scratch having nothing to do with my my old RP. I left the history vague so it could be fit into any existing RPs as needed. So to answer your question, I mean whatever you need it to mean. :P

I'll see to it that it makes it into tomorrow's paper.

"Legion Inc. would like to send a representative to the Republic of Venezuela to show/offer the Venezuelan military body armor and weapons."

Venezuelan Army mobilized!

Caracas ~ Gen. Che Marriott has officially dedicated the 1st of the VA's units, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Legions. The 1st Legion is tasked with protecting Caracas, government officials and operating as shock troops for any offensives that may be launched. The 2nd Legion is tasked with patrolling the countryside and operating as heavy police for such situations as riots, rebellions and other such matters beyond the abilities of civilian police forces. The 3rd Legion is tasked with defending the borders and cities and specializes in urban warfare. These 3 units are to be the elite forces of the Republic and according to General Che Marriott, will soon be the most elite fighting force on the continent.

LR Antonio announces promised VS reform bill!

Caracas ~ LR Antonio has announced S.B-001 Campaign and Election Act. If passed in it's current form and signed into law, the Campaign and Election Act will ban all political parties and corporate funding as well as making all candidates write-ins and elected by popular vote. Long awaited, many in the VS have praised the bill as a step forward in the quest to strengthen demicratic institutions.

The bill's honeymoon isn't perfect however. Some senators, led by Sen. Batista, have filed a formal protest against the LR citing executive interference in the legislator and Sen. Batista has told of his doubts as to the wisdom of allowing the elections of senators to 'boil down to popularity contests'.

There has been some public backlash to this opposition with 1 citizen telling 1 of our reporters, "What dose he think, we're stupid?"

Formation of the Venezuelan Air Force announced!

Caracas ~ As dawn broke this morning, Gen. Che Marriott gave a short speech in front of the War Department HQ and then introduced a man he referred to as Air Martial Alex Rodriguez. AM Alex then proceed to announce the formation and outline the propose of the Venezuelan Air Force. Many had questions after the announcement noting it's vagueness and the fact that the Air Force's capabilities weren't mentioned. These questions went unanswered and rumor has begun circulating that something big and thus classified is in the works.

While the idea of a classified operation was initially brushed off as another conspiracy theory, the Republican News received unconfirmed reports that the 1st Legion was on the move quickly followed by a request by LR Antonio himself to not report further on the issue for reasons of national security. While the Republican News is known for it's openness, the tone of the request has caused us to accept it and thus, beyond this report we will drop this story.
