The steelworkers strike over Twilight's ascension has no signs of ceasing, as their banners, signs and slogans rule the streets of downtown Jackson City, demanding the current monarchy's removal.

It seems that the steelworkers are especially mad:

Goodness me...

Urging action against Equestria and the Crystal Empire...

News about this event will be reported as soon as possible.

DAY 4: The new princess has sent a letter directly to the Great Leader at 2:20pm local time today in an attempt to assuage his concern over the recent ascension, which he plans to read to the crowd of striking steelworkers later in the evening:

Respected Comrade,

Do you remember when you were young? Your ambitions? The things that made you you?

What is a life?

All of us grow.

All of us change.

We are the sum of who we were, and the potential of who we will be.

I know you might be afraid of the new direction my journey has taken,

and of who I've become.

Though I am a different pony than I used to be...

I am still me.

Yes I've changed.

But so have you.

And so will you.

Isn't life wonderful like that?

Whether you choose to stay with me or not,

know that I have loved every moment.

Every laugh we shared.

Every tear we shed.

Otherwise, at least I'm content with no regrets and no unasked questions.

If you choose to move on to other great things in life, I understand and respect you just as much no matter what.

Either way, I'm sure our paths will cross again.

I wonder what we'll say to each other when that day comes?

Will we just cry?

Will we share another laugh for days gone by?

Or will we pretend we never knew each other?

So who am I now?

Who will I be?

But even more importantly,

Who are you?

Who were you?

How have you changed?

Life is and always will be what we make of it.

So what do you say?

Will you fly by my side a little longer?

What I am trying to say is, even though things have changed over here, doesn't mean you shouldn't take up arms against me. Even though your people are resistant, they are also resilient. Your opponents are beyond upset, literally calling for my own extermination, saying that Hasbro put me into power, that I'll allow them to hurt you, etc. and it shows. But it's NOTHING like that. I did not become a princess just because of Hasbro wanting more money. It was because I achieved my destiny. THAT IS IT.

If your people happen to disown you because of my thoughts about this matter, let them. They'll calm down one time or another. But you need to remember - what I have said is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. No corporate influence, no violent coup, no invasions, NOTHING... but my destiny. People can believe what they believe, but the only thing they don't want to believe is the truth.

Also remember that even though I plead that you believe in me, I also believe in you... you need to change the demeanor of the majority as well as get your train back on the track, so to speak. Don't listen to those strikers who say that I'll shut down the steel mills. I have no intention on doing that, neither do I want to see any Cosararan on the streets homeless. Do you see what I'm saying? As far as reports of strikers shouting defamatory slurs about Equestrians, especially Crystal Ponies, we will deal with them ourselves, as well as personally take down all the "Kill the Jew" and "n-word" banners that protesters have hung. Also, if you don't mind, I would like for our two countries to be closer together, starting with better trade agreements as well as joint ventures in Cosarara. Please... it's a simple request, no need for overreaction.

...I want to go forward with the negotiations, as they could be beneficial in the survival of not just Cosarara, but for BOTH our countries and the world. [Or, the global economy thereof]

I also want to extend my condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the recent attack on the Cosararan Financial Center in Vega Beach.

...Yours for eternity,

Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria

- Now let's see how they react tomorrow...
