The 1978 Seketese revolution, also known as the Second Revolution or the Spring of Seketan was a nation-wide pro-democracy movement in Seketan that generated protests and unrest within major cities from 11 January 1978 to 31 April 1978, which culminated in a political revolution. The protests and unrest ultimately caused the overthrow of the authoritarian Kjeodrate Regime and the establishment of the Fourth Seketese Republic under a parliamentary democracy.
The 1918 Seketese Revolution and subsequent civil war lead to the republican Kjedorate Party assuming power in Seketan over monarchist and Sosymet forces. While some within the party desired a democratic Seketan, by 1945 hardline Kjedorates had consolidated power and established an authoritarian presidential republic under Loren Allis. The regime cracked down on unsanctioned labour movements, Fjeskan and Trjebian minorities, and only allowed for token controlled opposition in the form of the Labour Party and Liberal Party. By the 1970s, now under the leadership of Etyjen Pesan, the Seketese economy began to stagnate due to competition from the EU, with unreconciled ethnic relations in Fjeska leading to an armed conflict that worsened opinion on the regime.
Sparked by an announcement that the Seketese government would be utilizing conscripted soldiers to deal with unrest in Fjeska, mass protests started on 11 January 1978 and would continue for 4 more months. The revolution is often set to have ended on 31 April 1978, when Pesan official stepped down as President and was succeeded by reformist and interim president Yeof Wiša. By June a new democratic constitution was drawn up, and a referendum on 10 September 1978 established the Fourth Seketese Republic.
