Tévnovan Congress

The Tévnovan Congress (Tevnovan: Uszpamik Tenjovosk) is a Tévnovan nationalist party active in the Torberian regions of Tévnova-Rjénberem, Uljána-Tévnova and Sorel-Tévnova.

The party is made up of a number of smaller constitutent parties which all work in co-ordiation towards a common policy, however, the Solar Labour Party of Tévnova is by far the largest and most influential grouping within the party.

The party was formed by the coming together of dissident Seltists lead by Kuan Tavalankrez Térlen and a number of smaller fringe Tévnovan nationalist parties. Despite a brief power struggle between Kuan Tavalankrez Térlens Szartists and the Lêiráks under Mávlumin Aluik-Eláven the Szartists came out on top and the Lêiráks rescinded to become a lesser faction.

= Ideology = The ideology of the Tévnovan Congress is incredibly complex and Torberian political commentators have attempted to put it under a number of labels rangng from "Variskist sabateurs" to "the vanguard of Torberian Lúmism". The parties spokesperson Téirann Vuthrin-Mari has described the parties ideology as being derived from "a fierce patriotism and love of Tévnova, the economic justice of the Lêiráks and the traditionalism and honour of the teachings and gifts of 	Lúm". He also identified the following 5 issues as those the party felt most strongly about:
 * 1) The defence of the Tevnovan language and culture from assimilation and Torberian immigration.
 * 2) Economic justice and the defence of the working people.
 * 3) The upholding of Lúminar values and the combatting of degenerate elements in Tévnovan society.
 * 4) The combatting of Kvazist and Pan-Sorillian elements in Tévnovan society and the defence of Tévnovas Servinian legacy.
 * 5) Aiding Kárnt vák Szártan-Sétélla in his quest to rebuild Torberia.

= Internal governance = The party is interanlly governed by a democratic body known as the central committee. Different factions and sub-parties compete to get representation on the committee. The committee governs almost all aspects of the parties. Party members get to vote every 4 years on the make up of the committee.

The following parties are represented on the commmittee:

= Relationship with the Congress of Socialist and Labour Parties = From 1982 until 1984 the Tévnovan Congress was a member of the Congress of Socialist and Labour Parties. In 1984 the party was expelled from the CSLP on the grounds of the Tévnovan congress being a"Red fascist" party. The expuilsion came after a number of incidents involving mysogynistic and racist comments from the Tévnovan delegates towards deleagtes of the other parties. The expulsion motion was made by Korisa Curab of the Erdenjan Councillor Party. She justified this by stating befor ethe Congress that "The delegates of the Tévnovan Congress have shown a clear distain towards womens rights and racial equality. They have been abusive to their fellow delegates and set a bad precedent for our originisation. As well as this their party clearly maintains a reactionary and anti-worker social policy, goinbg so far as to allow a Séltist faction to exist within their party". The motion passed almost unanimously, with only a handful of parties such as the Kâljikers Party voting against. In response to being expelled the Tévnovan congress immediately applied to rejoin. Their response was the following "As the legitemate party of the working class of Tévnova we demand to be reinstated. It is our natural right to have a voice at the table of the largest congregation of working class parties in the world and it is a great injustice that we have been expelled. The issue of the Tévnovan Congresses membership comes up often at meetings of the CSLP but as of yet they have failed to garner enough support to be reinstated.
