The Praetor of Insularia has been pressured many times to run for the general secretariat of the party
Artemisia Oltra in the Insularian Senate during a plenary session
She has led the regional government of Insularia with an absolute majority since 4387 (except for a minority government during the 4402-4406 period). And now, after the loss of Oriensos and Cor Patriae in the hands of right-wing parties that the former Praetors - Passilus Volantus and Alanus Scaro - have not been able to cope with by just a handful of seats, all eyes have been redirected to her.
Artemisia Oltra (Trinereum, Insularia, 4346), is a politician of few but strong words. Belonging to the Insularian branch of In Marea-Civis Sinistram, she is one of the most well-known faces of the most progressive faction, and was a leader of the IUVIM for a short period of time. She positioned herself against Zelotes Siskos and his "Government of the Consul", understanding that the only thing that was being done was to empower the right without necessarily implying stability, and she also positioned herself next to Mr. Scaro and Mr. Volantus against the decision of the General Secretary, Seia Nerva, to form a government together with Factio Aurorianus and Factio Republicana, understanding that, despite having won the elections in 4402, it was time for the party to go to the opposition and work to build a true social majority.
He began in politics in 4368 when she entered the Senate of Insularia for the first time in the lists of In Marea, and since then she gained positions in the party. Former Secretary of Health of the party, she has a degree in Medicine from the University College of Victoria, and in 4374 she was chosen as a substitute for Ares Zervas to head the party lists to the government of the region.
Although she had a bad start (the party reaped its worst results in the first three elections led by her, with the historic minimum of 7 seats out of 150, a real earthquake in the traditional stronghold of the party), the results changed drastically in the 4387 when, after a powerful campaign, she took control of the government of Insularia by absolute majority obtaining one of the greater amounts of votes ever received by the party, surpassing herself consecutively in 4391. Since then, her government maintained the absolute majority in the following elections, obtaining in 4398 the third best historical number of votes of the party, and today, being the Praetor of Insularia that has governed for the longest time with absolute majority (more than 20 years). And although her leadership does not seem to be in danger, some within the party are already looking for her figure to replace Seia Nerva as a powerful attraction for the general elections.
Daughter of an immigrant from Valruzia and a baker, her grandfather served as secretary to numerous mayors of Trinereum who advocated the indpendece of the region from the rest of Selucia. Asked about her first poor electoral results and the ideological positions of her family, she responded:
Regarding the independence of Insularia, she assured that she is not in favor of supporting it in the way in which it is currently raised, as her predecessors Zenon Gogolas and Ares Zervas did, since she considers that it is currently based "more on xenophobia towards the rest of Selucians instead of seeing it as a struggle against the conservative and racist class that prevails in other points, as it should be. " She also declared illegal death penalty in the region, in a time where the conservative forces are implementing it all over the nation through regional governments."People did not expect me to do well, a doctor from a village with a foreign father, but after seeing my work, now they have no doubts about my commitments with this region and its people".
Defender of human rights and great admirer of his predecessors in the party, especially of Ares Zervas for approving the initiative of the illegalization of the wage gap in Insularia, she ensures that she does not currently have plans to present herself to the General Secretariat of the party, since for her, her life is Insularia. However, she does clarify that he shas spoken with the current secretary, Mrs. Nerva, to discuss the matter of her government partners, and the disagreement between the two was very well-known within the party.
With the apparent weakness of the current government, and the apparent pact between the right-wing forces to carry out the approval of restrictive laws in Selucia, everything seems to indicate that, sooner rather than later, Seia Nerva will have to face some voters disillusioned, that led by Artemisia Oltra or the other two wayward regional leaders, Passilus Volantus and Alanus Scaro, more problems can give. And if they take control of the party at the national level, a new era in the country's politics can begin.
