Gaduridos

[Elena1012]

Referendum on joining the Anantonese Empire held; EGU Act proposed in National Congress.

One of the rather controversial campaign promises of Navarro was a referendum on joining the Anantonese Empire. It seems that the referendum has finally come about, and with just as much controversy as before. As nationalists on both sides of the aisle oppose both the referendum and the EGU adamantly, moderates have been more supportive. However, let's delve into the referendum.

The referendum found itself with relatively high turn out, and despite the controversy, it seems many Gaduri have found themselves supportive of the idea of joining the Anantonese Empire. Closing polls on the referendum found many supported the concept due to economic reasons largely, with many Gaduri viewing Kalistan as a reliable partner, both in terms of economics and in general. With the referendum being successful, with 58% in favour of joining, the Establishment of a Greater Union Act has been put into the National Congress, which would formally have Gaduridos join the Anantonese Empire. As such, should it pass (which is likely as the current coalition and the PSSG have shown signs to vote in favour of it), Gaduridos will no longer be a Republic, and be reorganized into a monarchy.

With the National Party and the Workers Party opposing the EGU, it has been a strange sight seeing borderline communists and nationalists on the same side, united in opposition. The rest of the National Congress however, has found itself united. The Radicals have largely been supportive of it obviously. The PSSG, rallying under Victoria Montenegro have found themselves supporting the EGU, whilst the HDP and Reform have also found themselves supporting it. Out of 255 seats, 129 is needed for a majority, and to pass constitutional amendments like this? 170 votes are needed. So far, it's looking like it'll pass with good marks as opposition to it is failing to get past 50 votes.

Ultimately, it seems that Gaduridos will join soon, and the nation will receive benefits. As such, it is anticipated that efforts will begin on properly talking with Kaliburg and making sure that this transition goes smoothly without issue. It remains to be seen as the EGU has yet to pass, but ultimately it's likely to pass with little issue. A new era for Gaduridos is opening up, and it seems the Age of Empires has finally arrived in Gaduridos.
