Movement (LNM), is set to become the first Federal Representative from a third party in Oportian history.
Background
Planning and preparation
The Montijo Inaugural Committee, chaired by LNM senior advisor Carlos Vega, is responsible for planning and coordinating the inauguration events. The committee has been working closely with the Oportian Federal Government to ensure a smooth transition of power and to organize a series of events that will showcase Montijo's vision for the future of Oportia. The inauguration theme, "Oportia United: A New Era of Progress," reflects Montijo's campaign promises to promote economic growth and protect individual liberty. The inaugural events will incorporate this theme through various artistic performances, speeches, and decorative elements.
The formal swearing-in ceremony will take place at the Place de la Liberte on 1.I.1731 AN at 12:00 PM. The ceremony will begin with a musical prelude featuring the Oportian National Symphony Orchestra, followed by the invocation delivered by Rev. Maria Sánchez. Chief Justice of the Federal High Court of Oportia, Isabel Navarro, will administer the oath of office to Montijo. After taking the oath, Montijo will deliver her inaugural address, outlining her vision for Oportia and her plans for addressing the nation's challenges. The ceremony will conclude with a benediction by Father John Farthington and a performance of the Oportian national anthem by acclaimed soprano, Valentina Torres.
Following the swearing-in ceremony, Montijo will attend a luncheon with congressional leaders and foreign dignitaries at the Palais Federal. The menu will showcase Oportian culinary traditions, with dishes representing each of the nation's regions.
The inaugural parade will begin at 2:30 PM, featuring military units, marching bands, and cultural organizations from across Oportia. The parade route will start at the Place de la Liberte and proceed along Avenue de l'Indépendance d'Oportia, concluding at the Oportian National Pantheon. Montijo and her family will review the parade from a specially constructed viewing stand near the midpoint of the route.
In the evening, the inaugural ball will be held at the Vanie Convention Center, with multiple themed rooms showcasing Oportian music, dance, and cuisine. The main ballroom will feature performances by renowned Oportian artists, including pop sensation Isabella Ríos and jazz pianist Diego Morales. Montijo is expected to make a brief appearance at the ball, delivering remarks and participating in a ceremonial first dance with her husband, Albert Montijo.
Developing controversies
As the inauguration approaches, however, several controversies have arisen regarding the funding and organization of the events. Critics have accused the Montijo Inaugural Committee of using the inauguration as a fundraising opportunity, allowing wealthy donors and special interest groups to gain access to the incoming Federal Representative in exchange for large contributions. According to leaked documents obtained by the Vanie Herald on 4.V.1730 AN, the committee has been offering exclusive "VIP packages" to donors who contribute Ṁ500,000 or more, which include access to private events with Montijo and her senior staff, as well as the opportunity to shape the new administration's policy agenda. Opposition leaders in the Liberal Progressive Party and the Federal Conservative Union have called for an investigation into the committee's fundraising practices, arguing that they represent a clear conflict of interest and undermine the integrity of the inaugural process. They have also raised concerns about the lack of transparency surrounding the committee's finances, noting that it is not subject to the same disclosure requirements as official government entities. To date, Montijo and her team have dismissed the allegations, insisting that the inaugural committee is operating within the bounds of the law and that all donations are being properly reported. They have accused their opponents of trying to undermine the legitimacy of Montijo's victory and of seeking to distract from the important work of the new administration. In addition to the funding controversies, there are also growing concerns about security at the inaugural events. The Oportian National Gendarmerie have reported receiving credible threats of violence from groups opposed to Montijo's agenda, and there are fears that the large crowds expected to attend the events could create a volatile situation.
