The Mapuche are part of Chile's national patrimony, and constitute a large party of our Chilean cultural heritage. However, they are troublesome indeed. What is it that you want, Curiñacu? Independence or autonomy?

*Gasp* Surely you would not give into the pitiful whining of this minority? Chile cannot be fractured and our lands must be made our own!

There was once a time when the Mapuchian peoples were independant. Indeed most Mapuche dream of a future of independance and self determination like we had before the Occupation of the Araucanía. Still we realize that judging by Chile's political ambitions this reality is a pipe dream. We do however have hopes that Chileans can look past themselves and grant limited autonomy to the Mapuchian peoples as well as other groups of aboriginals in Chile. So far we are pleased with the progress made in this area, embodied by the Equality Act, and hope that our peoples can continue to work together.

Party: Republicano
National Defense Authorization Act: Yea, although it is a shallow compromise.
Military Industrial Complex: Yea
I, Charles Maximilien de Conti, announce my intention to run for the Presidency.
It has occured to me that it is not enough to fight the constitutional case from the ranks. If I want to preserve the foundations of the Republic from political malfeasance, then I must fight in Congreso, as well. This latest incident has marred all the political parties. It is time that we put an end to this partisan discord and forge a national government, which places the interests of the people and the Republic - and not the party - at the forefront of its agenda.

I would respectfully ask you, Senor de Conti, what your platform would be. Would you run on a Republicano platform for your "nonpartisan Government" aspirations, or would you make a mockery of our primaries and run on another party's line?
I would ask, too, how the latest incident, by which I assume you mean the Comunista rebellion, has marred anyone of the political right. We stood strong alongside our Government, you and I, and it is not right nor fair to say that we Republicanos had any part to play but a virtuous and ultimately victorious one in the Comunista rebellion.
It is our duty, General de Conti, to lead an ideological crusade to return Chile to a time of prosperity. With the work done by Rivera, we are well on the path. I know how I would and will proceed if elected as Presidente, but I am curious to understand your motivations.
With Respect to a Dignified General,
Senator Alejandro Ruiz de Escovedo, Presidential Candidate for the Republicanos

No, declaring war on the government would be taking my army and attacking Santiago. I am merely heightening public consciousness about the plight of soldiers, their families and widows.
Mi amigos, this is a joyous day, for have decided to run for the office of President of Chile!
Edit: Nominee for Patriotas
We must continue to work to preserve the Republic, we must build infrastructure, we must create a lush economic environment, we must incite patriotism throughout all echelons of society, we must maintain a strong military and navy, we must extend our sphere of economic and political influence outside of South America, and I solemnly promise that if I were to be elected president of this glorious Republic these goals would be met and surpassed!
The coming years will be full of happiness, stability, peace, and growth for Chile.... but only if we as a people stretch out our hands and grasp it!

Not to mention inciting increased militancy among the populace.
To those advocating attacking the Communistas when they are down. I have to inform them that I tried to do that with the my Corp's dog. I learned that you do not kick a dog when it is down.
I also learned that it is not so hard to write with one's left hand.

Esteemed members of the Republicanos, I come to you today in a fit of anxiety! We must not all run at once for the spot of Presidente!
We must unite behind a candidate with vision for the future. Crazzio, you and I have seen eye to eye on many an issue. Therefore, I would ask for your support in the coming election, given my Government experience. No doubt Chile could more readily employ you in a guaranteed cabinet position, if you get my meaning...
That goes for anyone! It is vital that we unite behind one banner, and I humbly assert that my own banner is the one most ripe for unison. Support will and must be met with gratification, my friends; there is no other way to win the hearts and minds of the Congreso and of the people.
To the militarists, the armed forces will enter a golden age never before witnessed! You shall have the finest rifles and artillery, and the best training and supply. Security of Chile and her people is the most important objective that I have.
Fiscally, I am determined to lower the exorbitant taxes on every strata. It is important to add fuel to the glowing economy by giving every Chilean the ability to purchase goods.
This is but a sampling of my goals! We must unite behind a Republicano candidate for the good of the party and of the country, and we must do it quickly! Vote for Escovedo, and you vote for prosperity, values and security!

What an interesting occurrence... I knew you were bold Escovedo, but....
Ahh it is off no importance now though! Although we may both be running for President, we are running for different parties and therefore will not come to verbal blows just yet. I am humbled that you would hold me in such high esteem as to so readily offer me a post in your cabinet and I in turn extend the same offer to you. I cannot back down, not after all of the public celebrations I have planned and funded. Tonight the streets of Santiago will be stained red with wine. For now we need not bicker. Instead come, join in the revelry of my supporters and know that whatever happens in this election that I shall run a fair and friendly campaign against you. If the Liberales or Socialistas begin to gain momentum we will need to consolidate the right under one candidate, however for now we can still run our own campaigns even as we support each other. I wish you luck in your campaign Senor.

So general, are you running independent? If so which parties do you wish to coalition with?

He is running for the Republicanos, I guess. I also strongly suggest that you sign your letters with your name and title.
I, Minister of Defense Christiano Ferarri, hereby state my nomination for the Chief of Staff position. I continue to state my impartial attitude and character, as well as my shame for causing this past rebellion. Those men need not die, but they need not rebel as well. That is why I vote for Guerarro to be found Guilty for his treason against the Republic and against the People.

I, Jesus Gonzales will run for the position of Chief of Staff. I will make sure the Chilean armed forces stay strong, able to defeat both foreign and internal threats, and I promise to end the discrimination and purges in the military, and to campaign hard and use every bit of influence I have in the Conreso with the aim of finally getting pensions for our soldiers.
You have been advised several times recently that there is to be no out of character comments, no personal attacks and so on. It seems this isn't understood by everyone, thread will be reopened later, hopefully at that stage you will commence keeping to the forum rules
Thread is now reopened. Just to restate. No OOC posts. No admin related discussions. No discussions of other AARs or anything that is off-topic. No insults ... in or out of character.
The next time the thread is locked it could be for a lot longer

I am afraid the Nacionales ceased to exist some time ago Mr Hidalgo. The Patriotas are probably the closest to your viewpoint.

Party: Patriotas
Military Industrial Complex: No
Dio Guerrero: Abstain, I will decide later
I shall run for President under the Patriotas ticket!

It would seem we have quite a few esteemed members of the military vying for the COS position. I foresee much deal makings and dropouts.
