Llorens: Difference between revisions

He is a member of the 'second generation' of Assemblians who founded in the early days of the region, entering [[The Leftist Assembly]] less than four months after it was created. Llorens founded one of only a few political parties that existed under that system before its collapse, -and the Socialist Union. Following this, hislater proposed model of anthe independent one-branch General Assembly government was adopted,model whichthat remained in place until December 2017.

Llorens entered the political scene in [[September 2016 general election|September 2016]], defeating [[Losinia]] by just one vote to become Chief Justice. It was at this time that he gained a reputation as a prolific legislator - still holding the record for the most bills and amendments passed of any nation - including the removal of discrimination exemptions, the creation of by-elections, and the establishment of a formal legislative process. In later years, he would also overhaul the Constitution and Code of Laws numerous times, abolishto theproperly regional military, and expandseparate the sizepowers of government, throughintroduce theand separationabolish ofvarious powerspositions, and simplify laws.

Following a stint as Prime Minister under Secretary [[Cedoria]], he again faced off against his rival Losinia for Secretary in the [[March 2016 general election]], this time losing by one vote. A critic of the Losinia administration throughout the [[The April Crisis|April Crisis]], he later went on to serve two consecutive terms as Secretary - the first 'Assemblian native' in the role - in [[June 2017 general election|June]] and [[September 2017 general election|September 2017]]. During his term, Llorens organised the first quarterly [[The Leftist Assembly#Demographics|census]] and the [[1st Culture Competitions|first Culture Competitions]]. In April 2017, Llorens also founded a new social Discord server for the region, which he was head administrator of until his resignation in January 2021.

In 2018, Llorens served in a variety of executive, legislative, and judicial portfolios, most notably one term as Minister of Foreign Affairs under Secretary [[Kavagrad]] where he established the ambassador program. He also became the first-ever prosecution in a court case - [[10th Supreme Court#Tobostan v. Llorens (2018)|''Tobostan v. Llorens'' (2018)]] - in September, in which he was successful. Later in the year, he semi-retired from Assemblian politics to focus on NationStates Today, an interregional NationStates newspaper, where he served twice as Chief Executive Officer.

He returned to Assemblian politics in late mid-2019 before opting to run for a third term as Secretary in [[December 2019 general election|December 2019]], where he faced a new rival, Greylyn. The issue of the civil service that emerged from this election came to dominate the political scene for several election cycles, with Llorens firmly opposed to the idea. Despite winning in a landslide, a rematch in [[March 2020 general election|March 2020]] saw him win by an unexpectedly closejust one vote. During his third and fourth terms as Secretary - the longest anyone has ever served in the role - he established the Revolutionary Support Exchange (RoSE) program and introduced a new regional roleplay.
