((Secret - I Pretoriani))
The Opening of the
First National Convention of
the Praetorian Party
Gentlemen! It is pleasure to have you here today. I would like to thank the most honourable Marchese di Montezemolo for hosting us here today. But above all, allow me to congratulate not just the Marchese, as the leader of His Majesty's Government, but all the ministers of said government assembled here today. We did not expect the heavy mantle of statesmanship to don our shoulders so suddenly. Yet these gentlemen have showed nothing less than vigour and aplomb in their duties to His Majesty and the people of the Kingdom. Congratulations, gentlemen!
Now, let us proceed to the affairs of the party. It is my pleasure to announce that the Praetorian Party shall
contest seats in Piemonte and Sardegna in the next election. By our past success, we have demonstrated the popularity of our programme. Let us now carry it to all corners of the Kingdom. Henceforth, the Praetorians shall be a truly national movement.
Second is the matter of the National Executive. This body stands thus: myself, as the President of the Party;
Maggior Generale Luciano d'Manin-Grimani as the Vice-President for Martial Affairs; and
Signore Enrico Lucio Leone as the Vice-President for Economic Affairs. Hitherto precluded from holding any formal convention as we were, the Executive has yet to be ratified by the membership. I would seek to rectify this. Therefore, I invite the assembled gentlemen to vote to affirm the National Executive in its present composition.
This matter having been settled, I would proceed to the formation of our national manifesto for the election. Though this had been agreed informally between the gentlemen of the party prior to its creation, I believe it right and proper to have it formally adopted, or altered, as the membership desire. We would thus vote on the policies that this party shall adopt should it be called upon again to join His Majesty's Government. Any other matters of substantial interest to the party, or proposals to be incorporated into the manifesto to the nation, shall also be introduced at this stage. For the ease of convenience and order, however, it shall be that a motion must be sponsored by the Executive, or any member thereof, before it shall be brought to a vote. We would not wish to stifle any expression, but merely to ensure that the process is as clear and orderly as possible.
The First National Convention of the Praetorian Party is now open!
