Sofija Anasdohter (born Zofija Anasdochter van Heuthenberg, 13 March 1981) is an Azmaran politician who has served as Thingspeaker of Azmara and Leader of the Worker's Party since July 2020, succeeding Eryk Jorśsun. Prior to this, she served as Home Secretary in Jorśsun's government between May 2017 and July 2020.
Anasdohter was born in Heuthenberg in the province of Haadland in 1981 and studied Social Policy at the University of Cârlesby, graduating with a master's degree in 2004 and becoming a welfare case manager in her hometown. After a few years, she entered local politics, successfully running a campaign to become Mayor of Heuthenberg in 2009 and serving for one four-year term before moving into national politics in 2014 and becoming a Workers' Party member of the Folksmot for her home province.
She became a key advisor to Eryk Jorśsun's ultimately successful 2015 leadership campaign and as a result became a key member of his advisory team and was repaid by gaining the position of Home Secretary upon the victory of the Workers' Party in the 2017 election. As Home Secretary she provided over the recognition of the minority languages of IJssentaal and Hytklifer, as well as the establishment of autonomy for the provinces of Hytklif and Haadland, as well as making progressive reforms to law enforcement.
After Eryk Jorśsun announced his intention to step down as Thingspeaker and Leader of the Workers' Party in the aftermath of the 2020 election, she quickly became favourite to succeed him as leader of the party and played an active role in coalition negotiations. By July, it was announced that she would succeed Jorśsun in both roles and lead a three-party coalition with the Green Party and The Radicals as coalition partners, and on the 13th she and her new cabinet were sworn in.
Anasdohter has been described by international media as being a social democrat and as coming from the left of her party, yet the Aalmsted Herald contrasted her with the traditional left of the party, stating she represented a new trend on the Azmaran left distinct from the middle-class professional socialism of the 1990's and 2000's and of the trade union-aligned old left of Jorśsun's cabinet.
Early life and education
Anasdohter was born Zofija Anasdochter van Heuthenberg in Heuthenberg, Haadland in 1981 to IJssentaal-speaking parents who had split up before her birth; as a result, she was raised largely by her mother, Ana Zimoensdochter van Heuthenberg, who worked as a bartender at a local beer hall in town and often struggled to manage both her work at the beer hall and her care of Zofija. Anasdohter thus spent significant time in daycares and with her mother's relatives; she spent significant amounts of time with her mother's sister and has thus described her cousins as "being akin to brothers" with the amount of time she spent with them.
She was educated at Haavenside Andeskoel for primary education and at Heuthenberg Galukskoel for secondary education, where she excelled in subjects such as sociology, anthropology and psychology. She was encouraged by her teachers to apply for a course at the Aahtbund universities, yet, unsure whether she would fit in with the culture of the universities and wanting a more practical degree, applied to the University of Cârlesby in the capital of Haadland, studying for a master's degree in Social Policy and taking a year abroad at Newstead University in Borland. As a student, she was not particularly active in political circles, yet participated in a few protests and was active in the university's women's football team and some cultural societies.
