Jan Swiech (Lemovcian: Ян Свієч, Jan Svijech, b. 2 March, 1958) is an activist, a former guerrilla fighter, a Lemovician politician, who served in the Lemovician Presidency from 1992 to 1996, and 2000 to 2004, and served as the third Premier, who currently is the only one to have come from the Socialists.
Born in Włocłamyśl in 1958, Jan Swiech was...
(TBC)
Early life
Jan Swiech was born in Vyuchamyshy (present-day Włocłamyśl, Zelaia) on 2 March, 1958 to Metody Swiech and Jolanta Swiech, as the eldest of two sons, with his younger brother, Józefa Swiech born in 1961.
Jan Swiech was an excellent student in school, and following his graduation in 1976, he moved to Sechia to further his studies at the University of Sechia. At the University of Sechia, he was introduced to left-wing politics, and soon became a critic of Vilem Gardos' rule over Narozalica. In October 1979, he was charged with sedition for his political activities against the Narozalic government, but because of the Sostava War and the subsequent Lemovician War of Independence, Swiech never was tried or imprisoned for his activities by the Narozalic government.
However, with the rise of the National Syndicalists to power, and the institution of the Lemovician constitution which disenfranchised ethnic Miersans, Swiech became sympathetic to the idea of Miersan separatism from the rest of Lemovicia, and began advocating for these ideas, alongside Izydor Domzalski, with Swiech being sympathetic to the creation of a social democratic state in Northern Lemovicia.
Military leader
In March 1980, as the Lemovician state suppressed protests across the country demanding an end to the national syndicalist regime and the resignation of Saroi Garnica, Swiech became certain that the only way Miersans would ever be equal with the Lemovician "would be for the Miersans to gain their independence and to run their own state."
Thus, on 22 March, 1980, Izydor Domzalski and Swiech declared the establishment of the Miersan Republic of Lemovicia. Domzalski became the first leader, while Jan Swiech became one of Domzalski's generals. Swiech was quickly deployed to Loiola, where he was defeated in the first battle of Loiola. Despite this setback, Jan Swiech managed to retake Loiola in August 1982 from government forces, which helped boost his position.
In 1985, he helped orchestrate the opposition offensive in the second Battle of Bailara, while participating in the Siege of the Amabizca Pocket following the fall of Bailara, which helped temporarily secure control of the Amabizca Pocket for the separatist forces.
In 1988, Swiech helped lead the Miersan defence against government forces, helping the coalition secure a victory at the Battle of Otermin, although he suffered a shrapnel wound, which put him out of action until the following year. In 1991, he led the second battle of the Baitxi Pass, which ended in defeat for the separatist-opposition coalition.
The following year, with the end of the Lemovician Civil War, as the Miersan forces were disbanded, Swiech was discharged. He joined the newly-established Socialists, who nominated him to be part of their presidential list.
Political career
Presidency
On 1 November, 1992, Jan Swiech was sworn in alongside Izydor Domzalski, Otxote Sasiambarrena, and Gizon Artalolea as the first members of the Lemovician Presidency.
After Otxote Sasimabarrena completed his first tenure as Chairman of the Presidency in 1994, Jan Swiech became Chairman of the Presidency on 1 April, 1994. During his tenure as chairman of the Presidency, he built upon Sasiambarrena's efforts to build ties with the Euclean Community, and sought to advocate for the creation of a "safety net" for the poor and disadvantaged. On 1 April, 1995, he was succeeded by Gizon Artalolea as Chairman of the Presidency.
In 1996, while he was on the Socialist list, as they did not gain enough votes, Jan Swiech was not elected to the Lemovician President. During this period, Jan Swiech continued his involvement in the Socialist Party, helping build up its capacity to run for the 2000 presidential elections.
In 2000, Jan Swiech returned for a second term to the Presidency, after having run a vigorous campaign. He was sworn in alongside Igor Janusz, Hargin Saez, and Eolo Larretche. After the completion of Saez's first term as Chairman of the Presidency, Swiech assumed the role of Chairman of the Presidency for a second time on 1 April, 2002. During his second term as Chairman of the Presidency, Jan Swiech advocated for Lemovicia to join the Association of South Euclean States as a "stepping stone" towards future EC membership, and continued improving ties with its neighbours and the Euclean Community. On 1 April, 2003, he was succeeded as Chairman of the Presidency by Larretche.
Legislator
In the 2004 elections, as he had reached the maximum term limit for being part of the Lemovician Presidency under the 1992 constitution, Jan Swiech was nominated to run for a seat to represent the constituency of Włocłamyśl alongside the other socialists.
During his election campaign, Swiech pledged that he would bring "tremendous prosperity" to the city of Włocłamyśl, and that a "Socialist government" would help give the constituent entities "the tools needed to be prosperous." This helped ensure his election to one of the seats representing Włocłamyśl.
Thus, on 1 April, 2004, he was sworn into the National Assembly. During his tenure as a legislator, his stature within the Socialist Party grew, especially after he was named parliamentary leader of the Socialist Party in 2005. With the economic crisis hitting Lemovicia hard, Swiech advocated for greater regulations and for the creation of a welfare state so that the crisis would not hit the poor as hard as they did. He advocated for a recovery which would "benefit the people" and not just the "richest of the rich."
By the 2008 elections, he polled ahead incumbent Premier Otxote Sasiambarrena, and Swiech waged an extensive campaign pledging to help the economy recover in a way that would benefit "all people in Lemovicia, not just the rich." His rhetoric helped secure his victory, and after negotiations with the Miersan People's Union, Lemovician Section of the Workers' International, and Aurrera, he was able to form a grand coalition.
Premier
On 1 April, 2008, Jan Swiech was sworn in as the third Premier of Lemovicia, succeeding Otxote Sasiambarrena, making him both the youngest Premier in Lemovician history, and the first Premier to not come from the Liberal Democrats in Lemovician history. After naming his cabinet, including Eolo Larretche as his Deputy, Jan Swiech began to focus on economic recovery.
During his first term, Jan Swiech instituted (TBC).
