Protection of Private Property Act: Yes
 
Yes to the Private Property act.

If the government tries to sieze what is ours then we will fight nonviolently to defend whats ours. Damn them if the firs the first shot, because it will be their last! I have been offered to lead a paramilitary group but I have delegated that position to Sebastian Montenegro, if he chooses to. I will do my best to win next election (if it isnt too late by then). The church, the nation and industry will be defended from the communist hordes!

"People of Chile, I am sorry. I feel as a member of the Bevan administration, that I and my colleagues have failed you. Perhaps you are disinterested, or just to afraid of the Radical communists and fascists to vote for democracy. Either way it is pointless now. Chile will fall to radical communism. I shall not, no, can not let this be. I can't give up on democracy after witnessing my comrades struggle for it for so many years. There is only one solution, I declare war on the radicals, I shall fight them to the bitter end. I am declaring a coup to install a provisonal and bi-partisan governent. I will not be the new "Caudillo", once the coup has finished I shall retire and allow the nation to be run by the provisonal council until the next election. I do this with a heavy heart but with the conviction that I fight for what I know is right.
 
Name: General Martin Kassner
Born: 1876
Background: Born to a wealthy family in Santiago. Martin joined the army when he was 20. He served with the Army of the North during the 1896 coup and was promoted to major after those battles. In 1897 he was posted to the Capital guard and fought the communists in the 1898-99 civil war. He was promoted to Colonel just prior to the surrender of the guard to Hakkihäälenin. Martin's loyalties remained with De Conti and the government of the Republic so after the surrender of the capital guard he and 7 other men slipped through the Nationalist lines and made his way, on foot, up north reaching the Canal Zone in June 1901 where he swore loyalty to the Free State. He served with the Free State during the Chilean-French war and fought on Martinique. After those battles he was promoted to General by General Riviera.

NO!! I shall not have my Chile torn asunder by frightened politicians who seek to subvert democracy! The people have chosen the Communists! I will stand by their lawfully elected administration as long as they hold dear the values of our society (Liberty, equality, fraternity, etc.)

I urge all who want to preserve the 4th Republic to stand against this assault on democracy. Even the most ardent right-wingers must see this coup for what it truly is: an assault on your personal liberties!

I layed my life on the line for democracy for over 10 years! I did not see my friends and comrades in arms die to destroy a tyrant just for another to rise in his place! The communists wish to install a dictatorship of the proletariat they have tried in the past and now they will succeed if we do not act NOW!

No! You were a warlord who lived on stolen Frente Nacional supplies and survived on the edge of society because of your misguided rebels. The communists have not done anything wrong (yet) and as long as the Private Property Bill passes I will not rise against any sort of tyranny because I do not feel oppressed.

It may be true and the communists are a threat, but so is this rogue warlord-turned-politician who wants to topple the republic. The communists have not taken a hostile measure yet, so we can't taint our hands with innocent blood. This man fired the first shot and he shall suffer the consequences. However, I do not remember if he is either a cabinet member or a general..
 
Private Property Act: No.

"You claim democracy yet you launch a coup against a popularly elected government? What are you, an infant? The logic for such a move can only be found among the reactionary elite, and the teenage population."

As you slept comfortably in your home hoping your friends in the Frente Nacional would let you live the good life as the people were oppressed. You know nothing of the Peasants Army! You did not and can not go through the trials we did to restore democracy to these people, the democracy that allowed you to almost become presidente of the republic. I wish only to create a caretaker government until the radicals have been dealt with and retire.
 
These "radicals" have won an election, senor... This must be what the people want...

I believe... I must believe that these Communists shall uphold Chile's longheld belief in political freedom...

...If they prove to be authoritarian, anti-democratic scum then I shall fight them with every last ounce of strength... but until that day.... viva democracy!

You speak against the Frente Nacional, yet you use the same words speaken by Caudillo Fernandez (though taken heavily out of context) in his inauguration speech...
 
PPP: No

This act calling for super majorities is meaningless as it could be repealed by a simple majority vote in Congresso. I congratulate Fuentes on his victory.

General Juan Rivera
 
I am declaring a coup to install a provisonal and bi-partisan governent.

For those of you who haven't heard, it seems Francisco Villa ((LeeroyJenkins)) has declared a coup to install a provisional government.

I need declarations For the Government (meaning the status quo government and the inauguration of Fuentes) or For the Coup (meaning the provisional government demanded by Villa). I need those declarations from the following people:

Minister of the Interior: Francisco Villa (LeeroyJenkins) - COUP
Minister of the Treasury: Pablo Garcia (viola)
Minister of Foreign Affairs: Juan Rivera (atomicsoda)
Minister of Defence: Jesus Gonzales (yourworstnightm)

Army of Patagonia - (Maxwell 500)
1st Army of the Republic - Minister Fransisco Villa (Leeroy Jenkins) - COUP
2nd Army of the Republic - Villa (Leeroy Jenkins) - COUP
3rd Army of the Republic - Carlos Andonie III (rudders 10)
Metropolitan Army - Minister Juan Rivera (atomicsoda)
Army of La Plata (formerly Argentina) - (Maxwell 500)
Army of the Canal Zone - Brigadier General Caveo Kalambur (Dyranum)
4th Army of the Republic- Andonie (rudders 10)
5th Army of the Republic - Ernst Thaumen (Seek75)
6th Army of the Republic - Thaumen (Seek 75)
Chilean Navy - Daniel Palomino (MastahCheef117)
Army of the Caribbean - Kalambur (Dyranum)
 
Protection of Private Property Act: No

There is no such thing as the "liberty" of the individual. There is only the liberty of the masses. And should we maintain that the individual has a right to own that which the people could use better, the vile evil of capitalism will come crawling back. Any that say "private property" has anything to do with liberty is an ignorant fool. Only the people's liberty and the people's property that make liberty.

The fascists that my father served have come back trying to steal the election because they didn't get enough of a vote. Once more, the vile individual will bend before the masses, just as they always do.

-Julio Varde
 
I am for the Government! My fellow Chileans, I ran for President so I could be elected to help Chile and its people, I want an era of growth and prosperity, and in my opinion, a dictatorship is the worst choice for Chile and I will never support it unless the people themselves want it! I will also definitely not seize any land that does not belong to the Government unless I am forced to! Also, I will NEVER force the people to do what the government wants, they will ALWAYS have the freedom of choice, and the right of worship shall remain in their hands. I am also horrified by Senor Villa's betrayel of democracy, I had even had him setup to become a minister of my government. Last, I hope that my great Comrades who were mercilessly killed will be remembered for all the good they did, not the bad..."

~ Ernesto F. Fuentes
 
Also, if we are to defeat this evil coup, which I am sure we will, here are my appointments, with a large bit of modification due to the death of our two Comrades, Kalambur and Kvaratskhelia and of course the betrayel of Villa.

Vice President: David Bevan (Advisory and aiding position to President)
Minister of the Interior: Agustin Serrano
Minister of the Treasury: Pablo Garcia
Minister of Foreign Affairs: Juan Rivera
Minister of Defence: Manuel Rommeni

Army of Patagonia - Julio Varde (OConnor)
1st Army of the Republic - Agustin Serrano (Gloa)
2nd Army of the Republic – Agustin Serrano (Gloa)
3rd Army of the Republic – Juan Rivera (atomicsoda)
Metropolitan Army - Ernesto F. Fuentes (Maxwell500)
Army of La Plata (formerly Argentina) - Julio Varde (OConnor)
Army of the Canal Zone – Carlos Andonie (rudders10)
4th Army of the Republic- Juan Rivera (atomicsoda)
5th Army of the Republic - Manuel Rommeni (Shynka)
6th Army of the Republic - Manuel Rommeni (Shynka)
Chilean Navy – Daniel Palomino (MastahCheef117)
Army of the Caribbean - Ernst Thaumen (Seek75)
Capital Guard

And as you can see, many Civil and Military positions are filled by Socialists, Liberals and Moderate Republicano members. So I am not going for an all out Communista government pakced with Party members. I have also decided to defer the appointment of General of the Metropolitan Army to myself as I personally lead them before 22 years ago. Last, originally Villa was supposed to be VP and serve as Commander of the First and Second Armies. Kvaratskhelia was to be Minister of the Interior and lead the Metropolitan and La Plata armies. Kalambur was to be Minister of Defence and lead the Navy.
