Umberto Hurtado

Umberto Hurtado Panet (born November 8, 1942) is a retired Dalanic politician. He served as President of Dania from 23 March 2004 to 31 May 2005, after Juan Despalas resigned. Hurtado served as Chairman of the Isladanic Community of Nations from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2010.
Hurtado is praised for his work on repairing the international image of Dania after the Sonalali War. Despite that, Hurtudo lost support of the National Party and left the party shortly after his presidency. 
He was elected as Chairman of the Isladanic Community of Nations in 2005. He succeeded Georges Brisbois on 1 January 2006. Under Hurtado, the ICN focussed more on internal affairs, while the relations with Sagofagia worsened. Critics called his responses to the outbreaks of the Third Patian Civil War (2006) and Jacan Civil War (2009) weak, with Hurtado doing little to help out to stabilise the situation in those countries.
Hurtado decided not to seek re-election and was succeeded by Rudy Hoekwater. Hurtado remained involved in Isladanic politics and became a representative from Dania. In 2012, he joined the Democratic Party. He helped founding the Isladanic Alliance of Liberals in 2021. He was the party leader of the Democratic Party for the 2022 Isladanic Parliament election, which was his last political activity before retiring.
Since his retirement, Hurtado has remained one of the most outspoken advocates for further Isladanic integration. He is a strong proponent of closer ties between member states on issues such as defense cooperation, energy production and digital taxation.
