The Summer of the Thousands Flowers
#7
Day 19

Lázár Kádár was released at 10:00 – it was claimed as consequence of pressure by Lanlanian government, although that claim was denied by Keszarian authorities. Kádár went directly to Szuverén square, where he spoke briefly, declaring that the Keszarian Liberal Movement has no right to hold power in Keszaria, Then he met with other members of the Democratic Alliance and representatives of the National Committee of Democratic Restoration. Other opposition leaders and activists detained the day before were not released, however, as Árpád Meggyesfalvi, who unlike Kádár, had no parliamentary immunity as he was not an officially elected member of the parliament yet.

At 12:00, President Géza Békésy was expected to open the new session of the Keszarian parliament. The session had been called illegitimate by the opposition parties the day before, so it was expected that opposition lawmakers, at least those  from the Democratic Alliance coalition, were going to boycott it. However, Lázár Kádár marched with the rest of Democratic Alliance members toward the parliament. Once there, they refused to enter and sit down in their seats, staying in the hall of the parliament, while inside, mostly only Keszarian Liberal Movement MPs were listening Békésy’s speech.

In the middle of President Békésy’s speech, opposition lawmakers suddenly entered into the chamber while singing loudly the national anthem, interrupting President Géza Békésy’s speech and forcing him to escape with his bodyguards.

The incumbent Speaker of the Assembly, Gyöngy Székély, declared suspended the session for 48 hours. However, the rest of members of the National Assembly did not leave the chamber. Lázár Kádár proposed instead that Dorko Vörösz, a Democratic Alliance and Civic Democratic Party candidate in the 1594 presidential election, be elected as new Speaker of the Assembly. About fifteen minutes later, Dorko Vörösz took a symbolic oath as Speaker of the Assembly. This “unofficial oath” had no any legal effect, as not only it did not follow the standard procedure and that it was taken in a half-empty parliamentary chamber lacking the required quorum as most of the Keszarian Liberal Movement lawmakers had left the parliament, but the opposition Democratic Alliance had only one third of parliamentary seats in the official legislative results, four of them absent as they had been arrested the previous night.

As “unofficial Speaker”,  Dorko Vörösz proposed a resolution demanding the government to release all protesters arrested since the protests, and declared if the Keszarian Senate -where the Keszarian Liberal Movement held a majoirty- was not willing to start an official committee about the alleged fraud of the last legislative elections, then the National Assembly would start an impeachment against President Géza Békésy. Then she declared closed the session of the parliament until next day.

Vörösz, Kádár, and the rest of Democratic Alliance lawmakers came back to the Szuverén square, where they were received as heroes by thousands of supporters. Kádár called for renewed protests the next day, openly demanding President Géza Békésy resignation.

A few hours later, back in his presidential residence, President Géza Békésy addressed the nation in a television address, denouncing that the opposition had attempted a coup d’etat against the National Assembly and the Keszarian government, but that he was willing to defend Keszarian constitutional from the mob and conspirators such as Lázár Kádár, whom Békésy openly labelled as “an evident traitor to the Keszarian nation”. President Békésy ended his speech declaring a state of emergency until the peace was restored.

It was rumoured that President Békésy had ordered to mobilize troops and police near his residence in Köszövár, and a crackdown against the protesters and the opposition was imminent. Despite this, protests continued that evening, with protesters taking the streets to block the road to Köszövár national airport.
