[[Almadaria]] and [[Takatta Loa]], as well as much of mainland [[Sarpedon]], expressed considerable alarm at the prospect of a violent {{wp|Marxist}} takeover in Vallos. Almadaria in particular even threatened to invade Delepasia to restore order if the country fell to civil war or a hostile Marxist takeover. One contemporary noted the similarities between this revolution and [[Pelaxia]]'s Revolution of 1852. The result of these concerns was an influx of foreign financial aid into Delepasia to shore up groups committed to pluralist parliamentary democracy and the rule of law. | [[Almadaria]] and [[Takatta Loa]], as well as much of mainland [[Sarpedon]], expressed considerable alarm at the prospect of a violent {{wp|Marxist}} takeover in Vallos.

By the time of the "hot solstice of 1995", several currents could be seen within the DR Society. A moderate group, the Group of Nine, better-known as the "velvetines" (''aterciopeladistas''), issued a manifesto in August that advocated moderate socialism along the lines of what believed were the fundamental principles founded in the 30 April uprising the year prior, the basis of [[Velvetine Socialism|Velvetine socialism]]. Another group published a manifesto that criticised both the Group of Nine and those who had drawn close to the ''cabaceros'' and singled out Prime Minister Ortega for his links to the "steelheads". These differences of opinion signaled the end of the fifth provisional government, in power for only a month, under Ortega in early September. Ortega was subsequently expelled from the Council of the National Revolution as this body became more closely-aligned to the moderate socialist velvetines. The sixth provisional government was formed, headed by Admiral [[Hugo Castillo]]; it included the leader of the Group of Nine, and members of the PNC, the PDP, and non-steelhead Marxists. This government, which was to remain in power until January 1997, when the first constitutional government was formed, was pledged to adhere to the policies advocated by the "velvetines". | By the time of the "hot solstice of 1995", several currents could be seen within the DR Society.

Evolving political stability did not necessarily reflect the country as a whole, which was on the verge of anarchy. Even the command structure of the military broke down. Political parties to the right of the "steelheads" became more confident and increasingly fought for order, as did many in the armed forces. The granting of statehood to Kalanatoa and Na'aturie meant that the Loaland campaigns have ended. The attainment of peace, the main aim of the military during all theses months of political upheaval, was thus achieved, and the military could begin to transition to civilian rule. The polling results of the April 1995 constituent assembly elections legitimised the popular support given to the parties that could manage and welcome this transition. | Evolving political stability did not necessarily reflect the country as a whole, which was on the verge of anarchy.
