Granidhaus Debate

The Granidhaus Debate (Gemerese: Granidhaus Tesprachót) is an era of political unrest in Gemery sparked with the collapse of the coalition government at the time, leading to a power vacuum as the country was left without a government until the 2013 elections. The unrest lasted between 5 July and 13 October 2013. The unrest caused major economic problems, as well as the cancellation or postponing of the passing of many vital laws.
The collapse started after a right-wing political party, the Gemerese Action Party (JAP) announced on July 5th, 2013, their withdrawal from the coalition deal with five other parties, citing the demands made by their party following the 2010 election, had not been kept. The next day, two other parties, Independent Gemerese (LJ) and the Orange Tulip Party (Rastitulipa Partiya) left the coalition, while the OK Gemery collapsed the following week, it's members either going independent or splitting up amongst other parties. This left the National Gemerese Party (NJP) as the sole party in a minority government, leaving it unable to implement previously proposed reforms. On July 18th, after protests against the recent collapse of the government were brutually suppressed, president Grava Grehogy announced martial law, and allowed the Gemerese military to take control of the streets.
Rioters and protesters continuously took to the streets, before finally overwhelming the military in the city of Sant-Kozack on September 3rd, 2013. When the rest of the military was redirected to the city to crush this, other cities quickly fell to rioters. By late September, protesters had crushed martial law and installed citizen leadership in every city, bar the capital. Fearing a full-on civil war, Grehogy resigned on October 11th, 2013, and immediately called elections. The Peace and Prosperity Party (SRP) was elected in a landslide victory, and newly-elected president Ruttan Kamvi was inaugurated a month later.
