The People's Action (Lysian : Action Populaire), also known as the AP, is a Florentian populist political party. It is by far the biggest party of Florentia regarding membership. It has been formed in 1896 as a reaction to the abuses of the landowners over the rurals, by Alphonse Mérain, a disciple of former Chancellor Eloïse Rougeau. While the party always boiled with revolutionary fervor as sign of discontent against the decentralised and aristocratic nature of the Confederation, the movement further radicalized since 2018, under Hugo Lysandre Dellague.

Name

The name People's Action represents the will of the party, since its foundation, to actively protect the "little people" against the abuses of the slaver nobility, as well as the percieved usurpation of power from the Emperor by said nobility.

The members of the party often refer themselves as "populists".

History

Origins and early years : 1885-1899

After the victory of the slaver aristocracy in the Florentian civil war (1878-1885), Chancellor Camille de Raihac organised the "White Terror". It is a short period (1885-1887) during which the Florentian government encouraged landowner abuses, lynching of the abolitionnist sympathisers, and tried to enforce a serfdom status on the peasantry.
