Gaduridos

[Elena1012]

Montenegro Administration looks to establish a viceroy; Magdalena Sarmiento nominated and haves sent to Kaliburg.

So far, the transition into the Anantonese Empire has largely been without issue. Major benefits have come from getting closer to Kalistan, and many Gaduri are supportive of new developments within the Empire. As it has been a handful of years since joining the Empire, the question of properly establishing the office of Prime Minister has been raised constantly and it seems the Montenegro Administration is set to do so, by choosing to nominate Magdalena Sarmiento. By nominating Sarmiento, the office of Govenor-General is likely to be replaced with Prime Minister as Sarmiento will become the representative to Her Imperial Majesty.

So who exactly is Magdalena Sarmiento? Well, Sarmiento has long been a supporter of Kalistan and the Anantonese Empire, being a strong business partner with Mark Ananto. As such, Sarmiento has risen to prominence once again when Gaduridos formally joined the Empire and owing to her connections to Mark Ananto, the Montenegro Administration felt it right to offer her the nomination of Viceroy. As such, should she be approved by Her Imperial Majesty in Kaliburg, Sarmiento will become Viceroy of Gaduridos. 

As such, this will formally allow the creation of the office of Prime Minister. With elections later this year in October, not much is expected to fundamentally change but overall it is a move that is surely to be appreciated. However, the recent situation near the border has been ammo for the National Party as Reform is expected to make major gains in the election. While it is still likely for the Red-Red-Blue Coalition to continue on, and Montenegro enjoys solid approval ratings, it is also equally likely she is voted out due to party fatigue. But perhaps the move to establish a Prime Minister position will allow her to siphon off moderates from Reform. Irregardless of whatever happens in the elections, many are optimistic that Her Imperial Majesty will approve Sarmiento as Viceroy.
