Ana Freidriksdohter (Azmaran: [ɑnɑ fɹeiðɹɪgzdoçtəɹ]; born 11 July 1980) is an Azmaran politician who has served as Deputy Thingspeaker and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the government of Sofija Anasdohter since 2020, and as leader of The Radicals since 2018.
Due to her father's role as a civil servant working for the Euclean Community, Freidriksdohter was born in Kesselbourg and lived there for much of her early childhood before moving to Lilijenburg, Aalmsted at the age of nine. Freidriksdohter would study political science and international relations at both the University of Aalmsted and the University of Montecara and would later train as a teacher. She would teach political science and economics at Lilijenburg Gymnasium for ten years before deciding to run for office in the 2014 election, citing the 2013 Azmaran student protests as her impetus.
She would be elected to represent Aalmsted and would emerge as a notable voice on the left of the party, being somewhat critical of her party's coalition partners in Gold Flame and the Sotirian Democrats on many occasions. Upon party leader Maþeis Maþeissun's resignation in 2018 after a poor result in 2017, she would emerge as the frontrunner to replace him and would lead her party to a rebound in support in 2020, winning 13% of the vote. After three months of negotiations, she would agree to a coalition with the governing Workers' Party and the Greens, in which she would serve as Deputy Thingspeaker and Foreign Secretary, making her the first openly LGBTQ person to serve in either position.
Freidriksdohter has been identified as a left-liberal and Euclofederalist, and under her leadership the party has heavily associated itself with progressive causes such as environmentalism, Azmaran federalism, the promotion of feminism and LGBTQ rights abroad and drug decriminalisation while maintaining a centrist, middle-class focused line on economics. This approach has been reflected in her tenure as Foreign Secretary, with Freidriksdohter being known as a promoter of a more integrated Euclea as a world leader on these issues.
