mar 6, 1970 - The Haddakuist Crisis [Hadakoidaploi X̃avne]

Description:

After the fall of Tasak and the KNA Rebellion, the Haddakuist Union tried to exert influence into the Oipientian Republic and after the Kesten Incident. This gave rise to a national, but primarily governmental fear of a potential Haddakuist revolution/coup d'etat and in response, Yãloskíriv's administration set out to ban the Haddakuist Party and crackdown on potential Haddakuist agents and revolutionaries. Attempts to put into place a ban were at first thwarted, but eventually by June of 1970, a semi-ban was put into place where they were only barred from being put onto ballots for the next elections. This caused protests from Haddakuists around the country, but primarily from the Tha Ṡvupenta and Yelšpenta States.

For Yãloskíriv, this became an issue due to not wanting to use force to put down protests which he believed would make him look just like his predecessor. So after hours of debating with his cabinet, he decided to send in the military to lessen the protests and prevent them from becoming riots. He did so in a public speech given at the Red Hall the same day as the protests started and addressed his points. He used the protests as an opportunity to heighten fears against Haddakuimism and labeled them as radicals who ensue violence.

The protests did not go out of hand except in Onarus where 4 people were killed and a riot occurred. The military put down the riot and enforced a curfew for about a week. Afterwards, the Haddakuist Party continued to try protesting but pressure from the government forced them into the outskirts and lessened their power.

To get around the ballot ban, many Haddakuist Party members joined the Oipientian Socialist Party and tensions between actual Socialists and Haddakuists began to tear the party apart. This led to fears in the administration to maybe consider a ban on any previous Haddakuist member from voting, but this was shot down by Yãloskíriv due to his belief in equal voting rights.

The leader of the Haddakuist Party, Yaví T. N. Bolašaňas, began a campaign against Yãloskíriv that was specifically out to slander his administration. His points referenced mass oppression against political freedom during the KNA Rebellion as well as the Prv. 32.35 specifically, but also he brought up his military usage to quell protests.
