Augusto Romero Adolfo Cabañeras Gutiérrez (b. January 21, 1959) is the incumbent Minister of Defense of Creeperopolis and is the Chief Field Marshal of the Creeperian Army.
Cabañeras Gutiérrez amassed major power in Creeperopolis following a military ciup on June 18, 2003 that overthrew the totalitarian government of Alfonso VI. The coup allowed for the current reigning monarch, Alexander II, rise to the Imperial throne. Cabañeras had been promoted to Chief Field Marshal of the Creeperian Army, the Chief of the DINA, and Minister of Defense upon the death of his father, Emmanuel Cabañeras Videla, and the approval of Alfonso VI. Cabañeras persecuted supporters of Alfonso VI and political and military critics, resulting in the executions of from 5,200 to 8,200 people, the internment of as many as 80,000 people and the torture of tens of thousands from 2003-2004. Under Alexander II, Cabañeras gained considerable power in the Creeperian government becoming the second most powerful person in all of Creeperopolis, second only to the Emperor, Alexander II.
Under the influence of the free market-capitalistic ideology, Cabañeras aided in government implementation of economic liberalization, including currency stabilization, removing tariff protections for local industry, banning trade unions, and privatizing social security and hundreds of state-owned enterprises which were nationalized by the three previous Emperors. These policies produced high economic growth leading to the economic Miracle of Creeperopolis. The Creeperian economy rapidly increased from two trillion colóns to almost 12 trillion colóns. His fortune has grown considerably during his years in power amassing over 25 billion colóns, allegedly through embezzlement, money laundering, and engaging in the black market. He is claimed to be the most corrupt public and military official in Creeperopolis.
