'''Sofija Anasdohter''' (born '''Zofija Anasdochter van Heuthenberg''', 13 March 1981) is an [[Azmara|Azmaran]] {{wpl|politician}} who has served as [[Government of Azmara|Thingspeaker of Azmara]] and [[Workers' Party (Azmara)|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.
'''Sofija Anasdohter''' (<small>Azmaran pronunciation:</small> [so'fɪjɑ ɑnɑz'doxtɛɹ]; IJssentaal: ''Zofija Anasdochter''; born 13 March 1981) is an [[Azmara|Azmaran]] {{wpl|politician}} who has served as [[Workers' Party (Azmara)|Leader of the Worker's Party]] since 2020 and [[Althing (Azmara)|Leader of the Opposition]] since 2023 and who served as [[Government of Azmara|Thingspeaker of Azmara]] between 2020 and 2023. Prior to this, she served as Interior Secretary in [[Eryk 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 {{wpl|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.

The impacts of the 2005 Recession on her work led her to become active in the Workers' Party, being elected Mayor of Heuthenberg in 2009 and serving for one four-year term before moving into national politics in 2014 by successfully running for the Folksmot.


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 {{wpl|social democracy|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 {{wpl|Third Way|professional socialism}} of the 1990's and 2000's and of the trade union-aligned old left of Jorśsun's cabinet.
Her government would concern itself chiefly with progressive reforms in {{wpl|education}} and {{wpl|healthcare}} such as the removal of a historic ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood and the legalisation of the sale of cannabis while largely continuing the economic policies of her predecessor and adopting a moderately conservative stance on immigration with regards to the [[Tsabaran refugee crisis]]. Anasdohter would also pursue a more outspoken {{wpl|foreign policy}} than previous governments, emphasising a defence of {{wpl|human rights}} and criticism of {{wpl|democratic backsliding}}, especially with regards to [[Etruria]] under [[Francesco Carcaterra]].
 
After a loss of seats in the [[2023 Azmaran legislative election|2023 election]], Anasdohter would ultimately be replaced as Thingspeaker by [[Freidrik Aleksaanderssun]] of [[Gold Flame]]. Anasdohter would face a leadership challenge from [[Þurisas Mâþijassun]] as a result, yet would defeat him at the Workers' Party conference by a margin of 332 votes to 201 and would appoint former Health Secretary [[Frei Niinassun-Mac Phárlain]] and Mayor of Aalmsted [[Analiisa Aleksdohter]] as party deputy leaders to shore up her leadership.

==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 {{wpl|bartender}} at a local {{wpl|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.

Anasdohter was raised speaking the IJssentaal minority dialect of [[Azmaran language|Azmaran]]. She also said that she has "never met" her biological father, who had emigrated to [[Cassier]] soon after her birth and remarried, yet in adulthood has connected with her half-siblings in the country.
 
She was educated at Haavenside Andeskoel for {{wpl|primary education}} and at Heuthenberg Galukskoel for {{wpl|secondary education}}, where she excelled in subjects such as {{wpl|sociology}}, {{wpl|anthropology}} and {{wpl|psychology}}. She was encouraged by her teachers to apply for a course at the [[Education_in_Azmara#Universities_and_colleges|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 {{wpl|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.

Anasdohter has been described by many as being a {{wpl|social democracy|social democrat}} or as a {{wpl|democratic socialism|democratic socialist}}, citing her strong support for many of the left-wing economic reforms of her predecessor in office. ''[[The Aalmsted Herald]]'' described her as a "non-partisan progressive", citing both her strong support for social reform in many areas such as in educational, environmental, constitutional and law enforcement policy and her expressed admiration for historical political figures ranging from {{wpl|social liberalism|left-liberals}} to {{wpl|libertarian socialists}}.
Anasdohter has been described by many as being a {{wpl|social democracy|social democrat}} or as a {{wpl|democratic socialism|democratic socialist}}, citing her strong support for many of the left-wing economic reforms of her predecessor in office. In 2020 ''[[The Aalmsted Herald]]'' described her as a "progressive" who was willing to "work across party lines", yet when asked in a 2021 interview with the paper to describe her ideology, she referred to herself simply as a "democratic socialist". In a 2022 interview, Anasdohter stated that she had voted for the Workers' Party in every election she could bar 2005, where she voted for [[The Radicals (Azmara)|The Radicals]] in protest at the party's direction under the {{wpl|purple coalition|purple government}}.
 
Anasdohter has been known for her championing of {{wpl|social liberalism|socially liberal}} domestic policies. Notably, while serving as Secretary for Internal Affairs she was responsible for a {{wpl|devolution}} of powers to Haadland and Hytklif provinces and a change in government policy towards minority dialects in both provinces. Her coalition government with [[The Radicals (Azmara)|The Radicals]] and the [[Green Party (Azmara)|Green Party]] has also prioritised {{wpl|feminism|feminist}} and {{wpl|environmentalist}} causes, with the government making the promotion of {{wpl|gender equality}}, {{wpl|LGBT+ rights}} and {{wpl|renewable energy}} key policy.


She is most well known for her support of Azmaran {{wpl|federalism}}, being the impetus behind the 2019 constitutional reforms to grand autonomy to provinces such as her native Haadland and Hytklif and also the reforms to give official recognition to their national languages. This issue, combined with her strong support for {{wpl|environmentalism}} and {{wpl|third-wave feminism}}, has been connected to her strong relationships with her coalition partners - she was one of the most sceptical voices over the Tuaisceart-Süd II pipeline within the Workers' Party and her government made headlines due to her and the leaders of her coalition partners - Ana Freidriksdohter and Isabela Krysdohter - being female.
This approach has carried out into foreign policy, with Azmara having championed an {{wpl|idealism in international relations|idealist}} policy abroad, with the Anasdohter government blocking the [[Northern Forum]]'s backing of the Tuaisceart-Süd II pipeline and having adopted a staunchly critical attitude towards the creation of LGBT-free zones in [[Etruria]], with Anasdohter referring to them as "an affront to liberal democracy". On other issues, however, Anasdohter has maintained the foreign policy of her predecessors, emphasising relations with other members of the [[Euclean Community]] first and foremost and aligning with other smaller members of the community such as the traditional "Alsbora" grouping and with [[Caldia]] and [[Hennehouwe]], while also advocating for co-operation between {{wpl|centre-left|left-leaning governments}} across Eastern Euclea. She has also maintained the traditional dovish stance of Azmaran governments, supporting continued [[ECDTO]] membership while opposing active military interventions by the organisation, criticising the hawkishness of [[Reginald Wilton-Smyth]] and [[Otto von Hösslin]] towards [[Tsabara]].


In terms of foreign policy, Anasdohter has advocated pro-Euclean views, emphasising co-operation between centre-left forces across Eastern Euclea. However, she has stated her wish for any united Euclea to be a "Euclea of Regions" as opposed to a union dominated by Estmere, Gaullica and Werania. She has also expressed criticism of the more interventionist policies of [[Reginald Wilton-Smyth]] and [[Otto von Hößlin]], especially with regards to intervention in [[Tsabara]], expressing her wish for the [[ECDTO]] to limit itself to humanitarian missions within the country, and has also expressed concern about the potential of a refugee crisis, stating that she did not want northeastern Euclea's infrastructure to be "overwhelmed" by such an event.
Despite her social liberalism, Anasdohter has taken somewhat conservative stances with regards to Azmaran national identity, immigration and assimilation. While serving as Minister for Internal Affairs, Anasdohter defended the {{wpl|points-based immigration system}} that had been implemented by Jon Jorśsun's centre-right administration and said that it "would not be repealed" by the [[Workers' Party (Azmara)|Workers' Party]]. When addressing the Tsabaran refugee crisis, Anasdohter notably stated that she had "concerns about the impacts of an influx of refugees on the infrastructure and job market of our societies" and that "Euclean countries should not be made to take on more refugees than can be handled by their society". However, Anasdohter has condemned {{wpl|ethnic nationalism|ethnic nationalist}} sentiments expressed by many in opposition to the crisis such as those by Weranian Interior Minister Jörg Bullmann.


Anasdohter has also expressed a desire to increase the role of comprehensive schools within the Azmaran [[Education in Azmara|education system]], stating that the two-tier system of secondary education was "failing" to overcome income disparities in achievement, and has called for more accountability in law enforcement, stating that many processes officers took were "not transparent to the communities they serve".

Sofija Anasdohter (Azmaran pronunciation: [so'fɪjɑ ɑnɑz'doxtɛɹ]; IJssentaal: Zofija Anasdochter; born 13 March 1981) is an Azmaran politician who has served as Leader of the Worker's Party since 2020 and Leader of the Opposition since 2023 and who served as Thingspeaker of Azmara between 2020 and 2023. Prior to this, she served as Interior Secretary in Eryk 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 Karlsby, graduating with a master's degree in 2004 and becoming a welfare case manager in her hometown. The impacts of the 2005 Recession on her work led her to become active in the Workers' Party, being elected Mayor of Heuthenberg in 2009 and serving for one four-year term before moving into national politics in 2014 by successfully running for the Folksmot.

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.

Her government would concern itself chiefly with progressive reforms in education and healthcare such as the removal of a historic ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood and the legalisation of the sale of cannabis while largely continuing the economic policies of her predecessor and adopting a moderately conservative stance on immigration with regards to the Tsabaran refugee crisis. Anasdohter would also pursue a more outspoken foreign policy than previous governments, emphasising a defence of human rights and criticism of democratic backsliding, especially with regards to Etruria under Francesco Carcaterra.

After a loss of seats in the 2023 election, Anasdohter would ultimately be replaced as Thingspeaker by Freidrik Aleksaanderssun of Gold Flame. Anasdohter would face a leadership challenge from Þurisas Mâþijassun as a result, yet would defeat him at the Workers' Party conference by a margin of 332 votes to 201 and would appoint former Health Secretary Frei Niinassun-Mac Phárlain and Mayor of Aalmsted Analiisa Aleksdohter as party deputy leaders to shore up her leadership.

Anasdohter was raised speaking the IJssentaal minority dialect of Azmaran. She also said that she has "never met" her biological father, who had emigrated to Cassier soon after her birth and remarried, yet in adulthood has connected with her half-siblings in the country.

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.

In 2020 The Aalmsted Herald described her as a "progressive" who was willing to "work across party lines", yet when asked in a 2021 interview with the paper to describe her ideology, she referred to herself simply as a "democratic socialist". In a 2022 interview, Anasdohter stated that she had voted for the Workers' Party in every election she could bar 2005, where she voted for The Radicals in protest at the party's direction under the purple government.

Anasdohter has been known for her championing of socially liberal domestic policies.

Her coalition government with The Radicals and the Green Party has also prioritised feminist and environmentalist causes, with the government making the promotion of gender equality, LGBT+ rights and renewable energy key policy.

Personal life

While in her final year at the University of Cârlesby, Anasdohter met artist and writer Mâþijas Freidrikssun. The couple started dating on and off in 2004, and have lived with each other since 2009, getting married in 2014 at a chapel in Heuthenberg. On the 17th July 2018, Anasdohter gave birth to twins Hasel and Birk. The latter of the two has profound hearing loss and as a result Anasdohter has knowledge in Tâjkensprek, the national sign language of Azmara.

Anasdohter is an avid cyclist and amateur landscape illustrator - she spends significant amounts of her personal time cycling around the Azmaran landscape with her husband and has published some of her illustrations on her website. She is also a fan of romantic comedies and of alternative and indie rock.

Anasdohter is a member of the Church of Azmara, but described herself as "non-practicing" and stated that the nature of God was "open to interpretation".
