With the announcement of the Syndicalist/Social Democrat victory various socialist parties were out on the street in celebration as the seemingly impossible happened. Parties were held in taverns, particularly overzealous workers took the day off of work, and all across the working districts of Berlin the workers cheered. Although, the right wasn't particularly happy. Rumors were abound that various syndicalists clashed with the more extreme nationalist in the city, but most were small fights that didn't result in too much.
With their victory secured, the V.D.A. finally was able to fully reveal themselves in public. Even a large rally was held outside the tavern V.D.A. members were rumored to frequent and base their operations around. The leader of the party, Briar Eberstark was even there prepared to give a speech about the future of the party.
He stood on the erected platform with his most trusted party officials, and greeted the crowd warmly and gave a speech, which was followed by short speeches from other important party members. The following are excerpts from said speech.
"Fellow workers of Germany, we have finally won. Ever since the rise of socialism in Germany, I remember how we were treated by the government and general populace. We were beaten, imprisoned, and discriminated against because we saw a new vision. A vision of the future. A future of equality, prosperity, and security. So drink from the clasp of victory for the time being, but do not believe that the election was the hard part.
This is the hard part, for we must now try our very best to better Germany. All of our wishes won't be complete overnight, and it will be a slow, arduous process that we will eventually emerge successful from..."
"I've heard some criticism regarding our newly adopted little cousin, the Socialist Republican Party. Yes, they are more moderate and reserved in their goals than we are. But we must understand, the moderate populace of Germany cannot simply jump from one position to another so quickly. Without them, right now we'd be wallowing in despair as the nationalists or conservatives claimed victory. For now, we will compromise and try to implement what we can.
I extend our friendship to our fellow comrades at the S.R.P., and I even consider each and every one of them honorary members of the V.D.A.! So if you see one in the street, give him a handshake, give him a hug, thank him for cooperating. We are very lucky to find allies in such a dark hour, and together we will rise from this darkness and overcome the economic problems we face. I promise that things will improve, not dramatically, but they will improve. Hopefully by the end of our term, we will have taken the important first steps in fixing our problems..."
