Riot police using tear gas to chase away protesters near city hall in Molkna, in one of the few successful counter-attacks against the mass protests that have shut down Azreae. Attempts to disperse protesters in most other cities have failed, with the sheer number of persons present overwhelming police attempts to separate them. The security services' failure, coupled with high casualties among both protesters and police and the high levels of violences, has led to Prime Minister Stalin declaring martial law and ordering the Azreaen Home Guard to the cities.

Leader of the Imperial Sentric Party, Alfred Aria Sulkholm, upon hearing of his party's victories across the empire in the general elections last week. The ISP achieved a plurality in the Imperial riksdag and the riksdags of Lanlania and Rylmark. The accession of the ISP ends nearly six decades of an Imperial riksdag dominated by the Moderate and Social Democratic Parties. However, unless the ISP can garner the support of other parties in the coming days, it is expected to again take backseat to another Moderates-Liberals-Greens coalition.

From left to right: Imperial Sentric Party (298), Moderate Party (226), Social Democratic Party (218), Green party (99), Liberal Party (88), Communist Party (9), Lord Spirituals (32), Republican Party (3), Union Party (42).

Surprising no one, the Imperial Sentric Party failed to gain the confidence of the Imperial riksdag and the exploratory mandate was passed to the Moderate Party earlier today, which formed a coalition with the Green and Liberal Parties within hours. However, with only 413 seats, the new governing coalition has not achieve a majority and is expected to face difficulty against an Imperial Sentric Opposition. The Social Democratic Party, once the number one rival to the Moderates, has joined other minor parties in the Crossbenches, taking over the seats once occupied by the ISP.

Bernard Sandlund is expected to continue serving as Prime Minister, though will have to negotiate with the Social Democrats to pass any legislation.

Sulkholm angered women across the empire again Friday after commenting on a high-profile rape lawsuit against Football star Kim Metz: "If she didn't want to be raped—and I'm not saying she was, of course—she shouldn't have dressed so provocatively.
