## Political Leadership

### Adorian Rightist Party

Mateo joined the Imperial Rightist Party at the behest of Szani in November 2020. In December, it rebranded to the Adorian Rightist Party after Parsa - his soon to be mentor - became head of the party after swift coup.

Shortly after, he lost a Deputy Leadership battle to Hodelia, and subsequently became the Party Whip. Mateo was put high on the list for the 39th General Election, and became a Member of the National Assembly after they won eleven seats - he went on to be an MNA for the ARP until he left the party.

It was this term that he decided to become useful, and started to write statements and policy for the Party, and Parsa himself. This earnt him the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs & Tourism in the first ARP Coalition Government, led by the incumbent Johannes of the New Democrats.

#### Deputy Leader

Near the 41st election, Mateo became Deputy Leader after Parsa left the Party to become an Independent. The new Leader was Jose Montiel. He served in all ARP Governments as Minister of Foreign Affairs & Tourism until he became the Party Leader, when Jose resigned to become President of the Federation.

#### Party Leader

As Leader, he gained the Party record of 27 seats in the National Assembly in the 45th General Election with the help of still Independent Parsa, and went on to form a government with himself as Prime Minister.

Next term he resigned and became the Deputy Party Leader once again for eight days, before leaving the Party to become an Independent on the 15th March, 2021 - keeping his position in cabinet until the end of the legislative term.

### New Democrats

After a brief tenure as an Independent, Mateo joined the New Democrats on March 17th, 2021, after reading their manifesto, and befriending members of their Leadership team. He was immediately added to their election list, and shortly after the party was rebranded by Leader Johannes to the Liberty Union on the March 18th, 2021.

### Liberty Union

After a short period of relative inactivity, Mateo was elected to the Council of Leadership on April 2nd, 2021, with 37 points. Bert and Not\_Leader also joined him. Over the coming months he served as Minister of Foreign Affairs & Tourism again multiple times.

#### Party Leader

He became leader of the Liberty Union on May 14th, 2021, and served for two months and six days. Bert became his Deputy Leader a few days later, and together they steered the party to multiple stable election results.

During his tenure, Mateo also explored the possibility of a merger with Beyond Adoria with Frederick Gyldenløve - which fell through due to low support, however eventually took place a few months later with the formation of the Liberal Democratic Party. He also ran for President, and had the full support of his party during this time.

On June 20th, 2021, he resigned from the position, and after elections the founder Johannes became Party Leader once more. Mateo look a step back from Party Leadership and became a whip, yet still held a keen interest in politics.

### Liberal Democratic Party

Long before the party was formed, talks between SoleSol and Frederick Llama had been going on over the merger of the then Liberty Union and Beyond Adoria parties. These continually fell through to much avail, however a little while later Bert and Attica ended up merging the two parties to create the Liberal Democrats.

#### Party Leader

He was joint leader of the party with Otto Von Oldrich for one term, before returning to the Deputy position once again. After a term of hard campaigning, the party won a large amount of seats in the National Assembly, leading to a government forming.

## Political Career

### 39th Government

The 39th General Election was held on the 11th December, 2020, and was the first election to be conducted in the Adorian State by the new Election Commission. A government was formed by the Adorian Rightist Party, New Democrats and Christian Civic Union, with Mateo gaining a position in Cabinet as the Minister of Foreign Affairs & Tourism under the incumbent Prime Minister Johannes.

#### Member of the National Assembly

With the Adorian Rightist Party gaining eleven seats, he was included on the Party list and sent as a delegate to the National Assembly in Ador City for the first time. He passed one major piece of Legislation this term - the Adorian Citizens Foreign Rights Act.

#### Minister of Foreign Affairs & Tourism

With this being his first time in Cabinet, the term was used to learn the ropes of the job, and to pass foundation pieces of legislation due the nullification of all previous laws just a few weeks before. Although it was not a hugely successful term, it could be in no way called a failure, and put him in a position to be nominated for the job again.

##### Adorian Citizens Foreign Rights Act

The Act was the first and only bill passed this term by Mateo. It was created to protect and establish the rights of Adorian Citizens abroad, and contained guidelines for the government on how to act in different situations involving the subject. Signed by the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior & Homeland Security, it had the approval of the government and the parties involved. It passed 29-0, with three absentations.

##### Appointing Diplomats

At this time in Adoria's history, the MOFA had to appoint four diplomats to the respective regions of the world, these being Eurasia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania. He appointed Kaiserdoge to serve as the ambassador to Eurasia, however the other appointments are currently unknown due to the positions being abolished some time later.

### 61st Government

In the 61st General Election, the Liberal Democratic Party gained 13 seats in the National Assembly. At the time Mateo was joint Party Leader, and even though the results meant that his party had lost seats, he still decided to look into Coalition talks with the other four parties.

#### Coalition Talks

After some intense negotiations, it was decided that Baron of the Social Democratic Party was to become to Prime Minister, as the leader with the most seats to offer. The LDP was given four ministries to fill, of which Mateo became the Deputy Prime Minister.

#### Speech to the United Nations COP26

As the most experienced with Foreign Affairs in the Government, it was decided that Mateo would represent Adoria at the COP26 summit in Glasgow to present a speech on climate change in Adoria, and what the government was doing to stop it.

"Hello, honourable leaders and representatives of nations who are committing themselves to climate action here in Glasgow over the next few weeks. I am Mateo Gyldenløve, representing the Adorian Federation.

My country may be small, however it is safe to say that day by day we step closer to becoming carbon neutral thanks to the work of my esteemed colleagues in the National Assembly. Together we have passed legislation to tackle Climate Change over the past few decades, the influence of which continues to guide our nation down the correct path.

We rely nearly entirely on Green Energy, and the next government intends to keep on expanding this percentage. As seen in the recent European Gas Crisis, modern countries cannot rely on the energies of the past any longer. It is time for change.

Polluting vehicles on the roads in and around urban areas also cause great damage to the environment, and to the people who live and work around them. It is our mission once confirmed in office to rapidly expand green public transportation, and lower the cost of using it, while simultaneously introducing more restrictions on petrol cars and trucks in the areas that people should see them least. Trains, buses, and electric vehicles are the future - and we intend to champion them.

It is my hope that we can work hand in hand with our friends across the globe to help slow down, and eventually stop Climate Change.

When you walk away today, I encourage you to take action, and not hand the problem to those who come after you. Thank you"

### 62nd Government

The 62nd General Election was a large success for the Liberal Democratic Party, gaining 27 seats in the National Assembly. Mateo had just stepped back as joint Leader of the Party, as internal elections were taking place in which he did not run. A coalition was eventually formed between the LCP and LDP.

### Minister of Infrastructure & Energy

As one of the leading members of the LDP, Mateo was chosen for the position of Infrastructure & Energy upon request to the then potential Prime Minister, Otto Von Oldrich. It was his first time in the position since the 5th July, 2021.

##### Adorian Transport Authority

The Adorian Transport Authority was made to be a Government department, with the sole purpose of managing state owned public transport in Adoria. This included setting standardised ticketing, fare prices, creating route maps and maintaing all property and vehicles owned by the authority.

##### Green Transport Act

The Green Transport Act was an Executive Order passed on the 4th November, 2021, which mandated that all vehicles purchased for the purpose of serving public transport lines in Adoria must be environmentally friendly. This could be done through biofuel or electric buses, and companies could claim on a grant scheme to help replace their outdated diesel ones.

#### Router

The Router brand was to be a state owned company, coming under the management of the Ministry of Infrastructure & Energy. It's purpose was to be in charge of state owned public transport in the Ador City and Vástos Metropolitan Areas, by running, ticketing and timetabling the routes under it's control.

It would also introduce the RouterCard, which allowed holders to travel on all public transport ran by Router for the amount of time bought, or as a pay-as-you-go option. This would be amended later to expand further on the ticketing prices, and the card in the 'Router Amendment Act I' a month later.

On the 6th November, 2021, the 'Router Establishment Act' was passed via an Executive Order by Mateo, which formed the company, and also set off a survey within the ministry as to what would be the best routes to build within the two cities.

##### Router Phase One

Two days later, Orion Construction would be hired by the Ministry to complete the two lined, 18 station, 13 kilometre system in Ador City. Stations would have larger shelters, except those in the centre which would be marked with simple signs and street markings. Ador City Central Station would be given a new building to include a new tram terminal.

Under the direction of Mateo, the Foriegn Affairs & Tourism Minister would contact Stadler Rail in Switzerland, to buy 18 Variobahn Trams. This transaction would go successfully, and they were put into storage.

### 63rd Opposition

#### Member of the National Assembly

##### School Equipment Act

The School Equipment Act passed the National Assembly 35-1, with 6 abstaining, on the 23rd November 2021. It made the Ministry of Education, Culture & Media subsdise the price of uniform, sports gear, stationary equipment and textbooks sold by schools by 50% for those earning under 50,000 Adorian Lira per year. It also subsidised those sold by private sellers by 35%.

#### Council of Mediterraneo

Working with the Governor of Mediterraneo, Noot Noot!, Mateo co-authered a provincial bill that would establish a Council in Mediterraneo. It would consist of five elected delegates, and two executive members. These elected delegates would be given ministries, in which they can advise and present bills to the sitting Governor. It passed 13-1 on the 25th November, 2021.

### 64th Government

As Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, the results of the 64th General Election made cause for celebration with the party winning 28 seats, under Otto Von Oldrich. Even though the results came in many months into the next term, they were not to be wasted, so Mateo started looking into coalition talks across the spectrum.

#### Coalition Talks

Following an internal party vote, it was decided to pursue a coalition with the Labour-Conservatives, the Adorian Conservative Union, and the Technocratic Party of Adoria. With 52 seats in the National Assembly, it was to be the largest majority government since the 22nd General Election.

Talks went smoothly, and within eight hours a cabinet was formed - with the Mateo gaining Prime Minister, and LDP members filling four other positions. Even though the government formed quickly, due to the election results being released late they would only have a short time to pass through their policies.

## Post Government

### Director of Router

On the 16th of December 2021, the Router Act passed the National Assembly. This would repeal, and combine all former executive orders relating to the transport company, and reset out it's responsibilities, limitations and leadership. The Minister of Infrastructure & Energy DANIEL! would go on to appoint SoleSol as Director, in recognition of his work developing the system.

### Speaker of the National Assembly

SoleSol ran for Speaker of the National Assembly twice, during the 68th and 69th National Assemblies. Both times he won in the first round. During his tenure he posted and debated over 56 bills and motions, and was overall a successful President of the Assembly.
