Andrus Candrin: Difference between revisions

Candrin campaigned for the Prime Executure as the favoured candidate of the National Renewal establishment, promising to continue maket-oriented reforms, balance state and federal responsibilities to address new economic challenges, and promote economic growth. His early policies focused mostly on increased economic liberalisation and lower tax burdens, following the trajectory that he had set as Governor of Kiygrava and which had been reproduced by Rénkédar and Mérovin on the federal level. Along with these policies, which were generally judged as successful, Candrin spearheaded a more controversial reform of the Federacy's immigration system. In order to encourage more trade and investment, Candrin relaxed the requirements for foreigners to become long-term and permanent residents in the Federacy (it should be noted that permanent residency is usually not a step towards naturalization, see ''[[Kiravian nationality law]]''), and approved expedited visa procedures for nationals of select nations, such as [[Urcea]] and [[Caphiria]].

Candrin's most notable and enduring first-term policy was his initiative to rennovate the [[Kiravian Armed Forces]]. Candrin worked with the SRA majority in the Stanora and with the security establishment to overhaul defence acquisition regulations, abolishing barriers that blocked foreign firms from bidding on "special projects" contracts. This allowed Kiravia to purchase Falkasian-built naval vessels, [[Fanerian]]-built aircraft, and other state-of-the-art foreign armaments. Though initially an unpopular move, especially in arms-manufacturing states like [[Ventarya]], the more militarily-active stance that  these new armaments allowed Kiravia to assume in subsequent years ultimately proved profitable for the native Kiravian arms industry.
