Marcus Jørgensen

**Marcus Karl Jørgensen** (November 15, 1979 -) was an Avalonian politician and businessman who served as the 4th Väldeminister of Avalonia between September 27, 2021 and September 27, 2025, and as leader of the Labour Party of Avalonia between September 27, 2021 and February 15, 2026 having previously been Interior Secretary between September 27, 2017 and September 27, 2021 and an MP for Copenhagen in the Riksdag between the 2013 and 2029 elections.

Entering into business as a board member of his father's company in 2000, Marcus Jørgensen became a public member of the Coalition for Progress in 2004 and took part as an advisor for the Provisional Government of Avalonia following the 6 day reign of Queen Elsie in the aftermath of the Nordic Revolution. Joining the Labour Party of Avalonia as a grassroots member in 2006, Jørgensen stood for election in the 2013 General Election and won a seat for his local constituency of Copenhagen, granting Labour party leader Maeve Anderson the mandate to become the third Väldeminister of Avalonia in September 2013. In 2017, Jørgensen was appointed to the post of interior secretary, and began to gain seniority within the party. In 2021, Jørgensen was able to win the leadership of the Labour Party following Maeve Anderson's decision not to continue on as Väldeminister or party leader into the 2021 Väldeminister election.

After securing a narrow victory in the 2021 Väldeminister election, Jørgensen was inaugurated as the fourth väldeminister on September 27, 2021; during his premiership, Väldeminister Jørgensen operated on much the same platform as his predecessor - as such, the premiership of Marcus Jørgensen was a largely stagnant regime which produced no major policies of its own, rather claiming success for strategies implemented in the past decade under Väldeministers Maeve Anderson and Owen Peters. Despite this, the Jørgensen government did have several foreign policy successes, sending former PM Vanhanen as an envoy to the Union of Aligned Nations during the Libirachi Civil War and supporting Loxenian democrats during the Loxenian Civil War. Operating on a platform of interventionalist resurgence, Jørgensen was ultimately unsuccessful in his re-election attempts in 2025, when after 12 years of Labour rule, the Liberal Socialists re-took power in the 2025 Väldeminister election. Following his electoral defeat in 2025, Jørgensen remained as an MP until 2029, before retiring from the Riksdag and returning to found his own advocacy group as an outlier of the Labour Party of Avalonia.

## Väldeminister

 Prime Minister

Declining to run for a third term, Väldeminister Maeve Anderson was replaced in 2021 by former secretary of the interior Marcus Jørgensen after the 2021 Väldeminister election, carrying parliament too under the leadership of Tuula Haatainen who took over from Matti Vanhanen in late 2021. Operating on much the same platform as his predecessor, the premiership of Marcus Jørgensen was a largely stagnant regime which produced no major policies of its own, rather claiming success for strategies implemented in the past decade under Väldeministers Maeve Anderson and Owen Peters. Despite this, the Jørgensen government did have several foreign policy successes, sending former PM Vanhanen as an envoy to the Union of Aligned Nations during the Libirachi Civil War and supporting Loxenian democrats during the Loxenian Civil War. Jørgensen also oversaw Avalonian diplomatic involvement with plans for a Tri-Nation Pact being formed between Avalonia, Dunsteen and Spain in 2023, although they wouldn't be completed until 3 years later during the Ada Nilsen administration. Operating on a platform of interventionalist resurgence, Jørgensen was ultimately unsuccessful in his re-election attempts in 2025, when after 12 years of Labour rule, the Liberal Socialists re-took power in the 2025 Väldeminister election.
