A leading Centrist Minister, Fabian Meyer, has been appointed by President Artamova as a lead negotiator for accession talks between the republic and the Gallian League.
The discussions, due to take place in Uttica in neighbouring Uttania, have signalled a shift in foreign policy. President Artamova’s decision to appoint Mr Meyer, who is the incumbent Minister of Transport, Tourism and Social Development, has been touted as a possible exercise to appease Centrican voters following his decisive win over Noric-descendent former Prime Minister Koruin Gruaman in last year’s presidential election. Meyer, who represents the region of Gersfeld in the lower house, said that talks would begin ‘soon’ and he hoped they would be ‘both constructive and successful.’ Sar-majority protest group ‘Freedom Front’ called for Prime Minister Fedorov to remove all Centrican’s from the cabinet. Mr Fedorov declined to comment.
