A New Dawn
Don Francisco de Valle
People of Spain, with every new Audiencia, the democratic forces in Spain go through, not through violence, like the Royalists in Portugal, or through covert means, like the Royalists in Spain, but through discussion and democratic means. With your support, we have given an equal vote in Andalusia and Valencia, we have given the working classes a voice unprecedented in Spanish history in Granada. After years of democratic struggle against a divisive minority, both inside the Royal Audiencia and the Ministries of Interior and Justice, these monumental reforms were passed. No longer are the Spanish People restrained by the chains of reactionary royalism, now the Spanish People march as equals to the Nations of Europe on the March of Civilizations to a horizon and a New Dawn. On the horizon of history I see a New Dawn, a New Spain of equals and strong and pious communities and, God-willing, we shall achieve it!
However, the Reactionary royalists may be defeated, they still stand united in their mission to crush all democratic opposition to their evil Machiavellian schemes. Their leader, the Marquess of Pontevedra, still resists all attempts by the People's Party and their Democratic allies to establish an independent judiciary and the Rule of Law. Be vigilant, my friends, for this divisive minority still stands strong and their sadistic allies, who persecuted many of our fellow Sevillians in their struggle for democracy, still hide in the shadows. But we shall overcome them, as we have overcome them in the past, for with the Spanish People and the Lord on our side, we shall bring the light of the New Dawn to Spain, from Cadiz to Barcelona!
Thus, friends, support the Democratic patriots, those fighting for the progress of the Spanish People and the Spanish Kingdom and I promise you, Spain shall march ever faster on the March of Civilizatins!
This was the second of De Valle's four minutes speeches, which would be published in all PP-aligned newspapers and periodicals, while in major cities and other PP-strongholds, men would read out the speech to large parts of the Public. The first was the anti-war A New War of Independence in Iberia, which was well recieved among the many anti-war groups in Spain, who have losts their families in that useless struggle, A New Dawn focused on the traditional People's Party manifesto pledge of more democracy. De Valle personally read this speech in Sevilla, his constituency since his resignation from the State Council following the death of Carlos VII, it was long the centre of liberal agitation and is one of the main strongholds of the People's Party, thus a speech for democracy was a very apt choice for the Pater.
