Holy Frankish Empire invited to Pressburg Pact. Emperor turns to Imperial Assembly in morning address.
An initially private invitation to the Pressburg Pact has been made to the Empire. Sources say that this was a personal invitation by the Tsar. The Emperor addressed the Imperial Assembly this morning, asking the Assembly to formally weigh in on the decision. "Though I am responsible for foreign policy matters and representing Imperial interests, this issue is too large for any one man. It is this issue that I bring to the elected members of the Imperial body. Though I, alone, can make a choice regarding this matter; it is important that full discussion and discourse take place. This decision will greatly impact our global position, relationships, and our future. I ask that you, the Imperial Assembly, give this important choice your greatest attention and efforts" said the Emperor to the Assembly.
It has been no secret that Tarusa and the Empire have found much cooperation over the last year. With Tarusan and Frankish diplomats frantically working together on numerous issues, many were surprised to see the Emperor bring the questions of Pressburg membership to the Imperial Assembly. The Emperor has reportedly called for the national leaders of the Imperial Council (comprised of the leaders of the constituent nations of the Empire) to gather to also discuss the possibility of joining the pact. An initial Le Moniteur poll found that 42% of Franks were against the idea of joining while only 32% supported joining.
