Yedviro is a Drevstranese political party created in 1976 from the merger of what was left of the Countryside Chieftains political machines with Priatselvo and Baratsag, two parties born from a scission within Nepserot. It's goal was to form a political coalition capable of running for the general elections of 1979.
The movement founders' were concerned with the preservation of society’ traditions and values, opposing the secular, unitary view of the state promoted by Marveil Urshlo and his successors. for decades, the movement was mostly a provincial affair, divided in 17 branches each targeting a slightly different demographics. It's only in 1999 that the party was finally able to win the General Elections with Simon Smeleres becoming the first green-and-white Mervoret of Drevstran. Since then Yedviro has always been the main opposition party to the successive Nepserot governments.
History
Origins
First Smelerid (1995 - 2009)
Second Party Rule (2009 - 2022)
Second Smelerid (2022 - Present)
Simon Smeleres partisans were not entirely gone from the Party. After three elections lost to Nepserot and twice in a row to Mïgrai Bharamut, the party was forced to reconsider the ex-Mayor of the Palace after every other credible challengers failed. In 2022 Simon Smeleres was chosen by the Party's Inner Circle to be Yedviro new President and, in 2024, agreed to back Smeleres candidacy in that year' General Elections.
Organization
The Party is divided into 17 branches, each representing either one of the founding movement that united to form Yedviro or a "socio-geographic bloc" important enough to warrant a structure dedicated to its interests. The seventeen Branch Presidents then form the Inner Circle, the highest instance of the Party. It's the Inner Circle who then elect the Party's President who is then free to form his Cabinet, the executive instance of the Party. However, the very segmented and regionalized structure of Yedviro mean that power remain in the Branch Presidents and the Party President is often left acting as an arbiter in case of conflicts between two or more local structures.
Ideology and Politics
Yedviro' opponents have repeatedly criticized the Party's vision for Drevstran to be one of a "Federal, Clanic, Republic", highly schismatic and fragmented between the various people and nationalities seen as making up the country. Yedviro itself however, as always presented itself as defending the country's traditions, customs, and liberties following the Rule of law against other increasingly-authoritarian and populist forces. They defend the ideal of Drevstran as a "dual nation state" and the system of National Minorities and Diasporas was notably first conceived in Yedviro inner think tanks.
