They called themselves “men” and “humans”. These humans were a violent species and killed of almost all magical creatures in less than a year.

This led rise to a monarchist party which began plotting to have a king instead of a Prime Minister. Piotik realising the mess created from his incompetence decided to take advantage of the issue and try get a vote on emergency powers. This became successful however it did not do much. With these emergency powers Piotik was able to delay the elections until the 8th where the next elections will begin according to Piotik.
