Erasmo Ruiz (September 18th, 2124 - July 3rd, 2213) was a Carinansian politician and actor who served as the 27th President of Carinansia from 2193 to 2201. A member of the Party for the Cárinansian Revolution, his presidency is considered to constitute the tail end of the first Pax Carinansiana, and he is considered to be one of the most prominent social liberal figures in Carinansian history.
Raised in the public housing districts of Tohuecotl, Ruiz did not attain any higher education after graduating from the mandatory K-12 schooling in 2142, working as a fast food line cook and as an elderly care assistant within the state. He moved to Anáheiro in 2149, and became a side actor at the Jardin de Verano theater in Rimac, but quickly gained a leading role in recognition of his acting prowess. From 2151 until 2183, he appeared in over twenty movies, becoming an internationally-renowned movie star. Between 2183 and 2189, he directed several films for Ruiz Alvarez Studios, until retiring from the entertainment industry altogether, becoming a political commentator on his talk show, Free Voices with Erasmo Ruiz, between 2189 and 2192. In early 2192, he announced his intention to run for president. He published a 1349 page manifesto outlining his personal ideology and policy aims, which he would call Inclusive Futurism, but would later be simply referred to as Ruizmo.
In the 2193 PRC primaries, he was initially viewed as an inexperienced political outsider, and was depicted by media as a radical idealist. His strong charisma, debating performances, and expanded manifesto allowed him to secure the party's nomination in March. In an initially tight contest with former National Patriot president Maria Rodriguez, he managed to secure 57.9% of the popular vote in that year's presidential elections, with a 57 seat majority in the National Congress.
In his first term, Ruiz implemented several key promises from his Inclusive Futurist Manifesto. In his first week in office, he repealed OE99671 passed by Maria Rodriguez, restoring welfare programs and increasing spending to adjust for the increased population since 2181. Later, he ratified the 38th Amendment to the Serene Constitution, establishing terms of 18 years for High Court Justices, a mandatory retirement age of 71, a limit of 10 High Court Justices, and requiring their finances be transparently available to the general public to prevent corruption. As a consequence, ten justices were removed from the court, including four of Rodriguez's appointees. He only appointed two new justices to the High Court, meeting the new constitutional limit. In 2195, he led peace talks in Nojawa as a neutral third-party between the member states of the Uatederstali-led Coalition for Justice, and the Arcadia-led Socialist League, culminating in the end of hostilities. Throughout his second term, Ruiz focused on expanding workers' protections via the improvement of union-public sector relations, and invested heavily into the Shattered Crescent states to revitalise the regional economy. Throughout both terms, Ruiz emphasised a desire for multipartisanship despite holding a strong legislative majority for the first six years of his presidency.
Ruiz left the presidency in 2201 with the Carinansian economy having seen a significant reduction in the Gini coefficient, a significant increase in the median income, and a large reduction in the unemployment rate and Political polarization. However, foreign direct investment in Carinansia decreased by 30% throughout his presidency as a consequence of greater regulations, and free trade policy intended to improve competition caused the shrinking of several industries throughout the country, unable to compete with cheaper international prices. For the next decade, he remained an outspoken advocate of multipartisanship and progressive politics, but he ultimately died in the initial Azlan bombing of the Vatou Isles in Islonia. Historians and scholars have typically ranked him among the top 10 greatest Carinansian presidents, with post-Presidential approval ratings of the public remaining high even over a century later.
