Carpathian Strike of 1647 (Premysloides Dynasty)

Carpathian Strike of 1647
Carpathian Strike of 1647 was armed people rebellion in Carpathia against local governor and against government politics of Boris Artapov and his right-wing Optimates.

Main reasons of strikes were decreasing financial autonomy for "sub-provinces" (smaller units of civilian provinces) in favour of civilian provinces, appointing sub-provincial governors without local consent and by Constantinople rather than by local provincial governors and "Rank System of Provinces and Sub-Provinces", which determined poverty of sub-provinces and provinces and because of that, financial and social benefits for Carpathia decreased by 60-75%.

When local newspapers announced new reform legislative, most people claimed it is "only stupid prank" or "tabloid lies", until legislative was officially confirmed by government representatives and passed through Imperial Congress. No one believed in this, as Artapov in his pre-election manifesto declared support for provincial and sub-provincial rights and devolution.

Already in Congress, legislative was controversial. Roman Imperial Party, part of Citizen Party and some of Colonial Deputies voted against, but most deputies, Imperial Democratic Party, Conservative Union and coalition support from Citizen Party passed with 78 deputies against 70 deputies with 2 absents.
