Blempa protest leader calls for general strike


The scene, yesterday

The leader of a Blempan protest movement that forced the planet's veteran leader to step down announced on Tuesday a nationwide campaign of civil disobedience after the ruling party thwarted his bid to take over as Overlord. Tebebebeme tens of thousands of lifeforms gathered in a square in the Blempan capital, Wapudebav Fyn said that starting from 8:15 (12.15 a.m. ET) on Wednesday morning, his supporters would block transways, magrailways and spaceports. The planned daycycle of protest in the small ex-Grexian state sets up a standoff between Fyn's movement, which has mobilised thousands of lifeforms to take to the streets, and a ruling elite which is determined to hold on to power and still controls the security apparatus.
