Bratislava, Slovakia
The Slovak State Militia entered Bratislava with little issue after the negotiations, to find a city that was still mostly intact--the people were so uniformly republican that there were few targets for the DRB, and they took the city primarily to use as a recruiting ground without government restriction. Indeed, the city had been left mostly to its people, as most of the revolutionaries soon left for Vienna, and life went on largely as usual. Now that the city is back in government hands, though, and now that yet another vote is to be held, there have been whisperings of unease. The news of monarchist protests in Vienna, masquerading themselves as being pro-choice instead of the reactionary ploy that they so very clearly were, seemed to spark people into action, as a large crowd gathered in Bratislava for a counter-protest. Like their Viennese counterparts they were largely peaceful, but their anger was palpable, and the slogans on their signs and in their chants spoke volumes:
"Monarchy is slavery!"
"The people have spoken!"
"Remember 1848, remember 1857!"
"The Federation belongs to the people, not the king of Silesia!"
"Monarchy is not democracy!"
"Citizens, not subjects!"
"Democracy is the popular will!"
"The Federation is a republic!"
The crowd grew larger with each passing day.
((GM approved. If etranger doesn't agree with the details of the DRB's tenure in Bratislava then I'll change them, but I think they should be fine.))
