Parliament is currently debating Eria’s entrance as a member into the Cross Mediterranean Economic Community (CMEC). The proposal has been brought forward by the Minister of Economy and Finance, Maria Ginevra, to help with the economic stagnation that Eria is currently experiencing. “The entrance of Eria into the CMEC would help to eliminate barriers for trade and capital exchange between Eria and other CMEC countries,” cited the Minister in her Press briefing after the first session of the debate. The motion however was fiercely opposed by around half of the members of the Conservative Party, especially from the ‘Old Guard’ group, led by the President pro Tempore of the Chamber, Luigi Dante, who gave a long speech about the danger of neoliberal economic development and of foreign economic interference.
Membership within CMEC has been in an ‘on-off’ situation, linked to the economic ups and downs of Eria. Within the parliament, debates on CMEC membership has been brought forward for seven times in the past administrations. The last vote that the parliament did on Eria’s membership was defeated by only three votes. The Conservative Party has been defiant against Eria’s CMEC membership. However, this opinion is no longer mainstream within the party as newer and younger MPs began to side with membership, and only the ‘Old Guard’ MPs that still oppose membership.
