Lucrecia: Difference between revisions

Although the persecution of the Isurians of Lucrecia had ended after Emeritanism was thoroughly discredited by the fall of fascism, the Republic was still heavily biased in the socio-political sphere, with Emeritans still holding onto the centuries-old monopoly on power. It was during this time that Isurian intellectuals and left-wing elements of Lucrecian society began to support the nascent ideology of [[Isurianism]] and the [[Generality movement]] which called for Isurian representation along federal lines and the elevation of Isurian into the status of co-official language alongside Pelaxian, sparking the beginnings of the [[Linguistic legislation in Lucrecia|language struggle]] as the nation's Isurian population began to seriously question the high status of the Emeritan elites. The entirety of this movement also called for the democratisation of Lucrecia, putting an end to the overbearing socio-political influence of the aristocratic Senate. This soon culminated in the [[Great Isurian strike of 1968]] where Isurians from all professions refused to work until the government was willing to negotiate. Fearing economic collapse, the Lucrecian government reached out to the leadership of the Generality movement and began a series of negotiations that would form the basis of the "popular amendments" in 1970, a series of constitutional amendments that would not only federalise Lucrecia along linguistic lines, it would also introduce sweeping reforms designed to democratise Lucrecia from the bottom-up, with the Centuriate Assembly now representing the new cantons and linguistic regions, the Tributary Assembly representing the provinces, and the Common Assembly representing the people directly; the latter two assemblies would soon merge to form the [[Popular Assembly]].
