The Chavez Doctrine is a 118-page report originally written by dissent members of the Center Party and published by the New Liverpool Daily after it was leaked by an unknown Center Party whistleblower. The Chavez Doctrine warns of Joseph Chavez and a growing group of political leaders across the spectrum. The doctrine details potential means by which Chavez and other leaders would be removed from political power. The doctrine's release led to Joseph Chavez forming the National Alliance.
Background
Joseph Chavez had been active in the Center Party since 2006, rising to Minister for Transport in 2012 under the Center-Green-Conservative coalition. From his initial appointment, there were questions raised publically and privately about Chavez's personal background. These questions were raised after a 2013 report by the right-wing news channel, The Blue Oak. The report brought up a 1996 police report where Chavez was reported to be a collaborator in an attempted carjacking. Although Chavez was never arrested, he served 100 hours of community service administered by the local Rivers Ward Council. In response, Chavez admitted the incident was teen stupidity by some friends whom he was involved with. Chavez denied any past or present relations with organized criminal elements.
In 2016, Chavez ran in the Center Party Presidential Primary against Joseph Zhang who was the incumbent. In a rare incident, Zhang ran attack ads against Chavez in certain provinces. This defied the usual non-competitiveness of primaries and led to a growing bloc in opposition to Chavez. Supporters of Chavez called the personal attacks "class-based attacks based on stereotypes". Chavez had lived in public housing within the Rivers Ward throughout his early life, housing projects known for gang activity. However, Chavez received a majority of votes and thus delegates at the Center Party Convention. It's believed this incident led to the start of the Chavez Doctrine's conception.
