The day before Chervonia’s national election is full of confusion. New leaks have appeared, saying that President Parenko’s team has secret connections to a radical armed group. This news comes after earlier reports of Parenko’s allies buying expensive property. The opposition, led by Selina Orelova, says these leaks prove the government is corrupt. However, Parenko’s team argues that this is all a fake story made by foreign enemies to cause chaos before the vote.

The problems go beyond politics. Yesterday, the country experienced major power outages across several regions. The government called this a “psychological attack,” but these blackouts made people panic and prompted urgent calls for citizens to change their money into foreign currency. An unconfirmed leak also suggested the government plans to ban VPNs and restrict travel for citizens. Orelova’s side says these incidents show the government is simply incompetent and unable to manage basic services.

Both political sides are using these events to attack the other. Parenko’s supporters claim that a foreign state, Pskovia, is trying to organize a “cyber coup” and illegally remove the President. They use the militia leaks to paint Orelova as part of this plan. In return, Orelova’s base believes the power cuts and the reports of future travel bans are desperate moves by Parenko to scare voters and hold onto power. This means that voters hear nothing but accusations from both sides.With the election hours away, the country is facing deep uncertainty. Who is truly behind the chaos? Is it a sophisticated foreign enemy aiming to destabilize Chervonia, as claimed by the President’s administration? Or are these problems the result of the current government’s own system failures and corruption, as argued by the opposition? The vote will happen tomorrow, but no matter the result, the real winner right now is confusion and distrust.
