2023 Religious Suppression Scandal

2023 Religious Suppression Scandal is a on going investigation in the Federation about the Federal government of the country suppressing religious people from achieving office on a Federal level, losing votes from the districts that lean religious or has a religious turnout for service, and various other factors. Examples including making wait times longer for surgery and treatments; rejecting students from religious households from entering into Federal and Peerage level universities; longer sentencing to prisons and requiring more community service hours for people listed as attending religious services; above the norm surveillance on leaders of religious communities such as Brewmasters and Gothirs; Frequent interference into Hjørdist Gustafism affairs.

The scandal came to light in 14th September of 2023 after Red Dove Media and peerage level, University of Mathematics, Science and Technology. Produced and published several studies showing the disparity of sentencing, rejection of students to peerage and federal level universities. With later investigations by Red Dove Media into backgrounds of federal level elected officials including parliamentarians and regional representatives. Finding all of them either being life-long atheists, or announcing their change to atheism in the same way or form. Additionally finding evidence that the whole of the employees to the Chantilly, the executive building of the Federation only employed atheists or secular/culturally Akuanists.

More evidence was put forward of voter suppression as Judith Ardouin the previous Federal Prime Minister of the Federation, released entries of her diary into the public. The entries listed out, by name, various politicians she was frustrated with about their discrimination towards religious folk. One of the most republished and cited posts online was one of her meetings with then parliamentarian Jeanne Pierre, being told by then Minister of Petite-National Development Thierry Descoteaux if she wanted to further her career. She has to publicly state, and prove she is no longer a religious Akuanist and Ardouin frustrated with not being able to do anything about the matter. Notably the date correlated when Jeanne Pierre renounced her faith in Akuanism in 2016.

The resulting scandal forced the Federal Bureau of Law Enforcement to further investigate the political machine of the Royal Workers' Party, Federal hiring policies and the Ministry of Education. The People's Federal Royal Parliament established a committee to further the investigation and question various ministers about their ministries involvement in the scandal. Resulting in the following several ministers to resign; the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Labor and Union Relations and Ministry of Justice and Public Security. Though the reasoning for their resigning is unclear, the Red Dove Media produced several interviews with their staff citing their anti-religion bias on the topic.
