OccupationPolitician

Hoàng Tuyết Loan, Ht (23 June 1990) is a Quenminese politician who is a member of the Jeunes Tigres, a liberal conservative populist political party. She is also the Secretary-General of the advocacy group Association for Anti-Mass Surveillance Liberties. In the 2016 Quenminese general election, she was elected as a Member of the Supreme Assembly by attaining 35.3% of her constituency's votes.

Early Life

Loan was born on 23 June 1991 to a middle-class family residing in the Liên Chiểu District of Đà Nẵng. Her father is a professor at the Đà Nẵng Polytechnic Institute and her mother a judge in the city's Provincial Superior Court. She was educated at Bạch Cảnh Tuấn High School where she became active in the school's newspaper by being an article writer. She was then enrolled at the city's campus of Trinh Lieu Han University to obtain a pre-law degree. Although being successful in her studies, she became dissatisfied with her major in her second year, and with the eventual support of her parents, switched to political science.

After graduating, she was employed as a replacement public relations specialist for Lương Xuân Hãn, the former Assemblymember for the Đà Nẵng East and a member of the Yellow Dragon Party.

Activism

On 26 January 2013, the Augmented Domestic Security Procedures Act, known from its acronym the AUDOSECPRO Act, was introduced to the Assembly by the preceding Director of the An Tiểu Committee Triệu Phước Lộc. The Act was presented as a response to the 2012 Buôn Ma Chàm and Quang Hóa Attacks. Among its titles is Title II, which introduced a series of enhanced surveillance applications, such as a nationwide-applied facial recognition system, and procedures that target citizens, Quenminese and non-Quenminese alike. It was met with an immense deal of controversy when its Assembly session was televised.

Loan voiced her discord against the Act, which resulted in contention with Assemblymember Hãn. At times, she would voice her concerns to him, stating that it gives way to "unlawful mass surveillance against citizens," and suggesting that he must oppose it. Hãn defended his party's position on the basis of "improving national security," and disregarded her advice. Eventually, after multiple arguments, he threatened to fire her penniless if she continues to push her stance.

On 10 February on her day off, she, along with Mạch Trí Thắng, and Nguyễn Bảo Hiển, formed the Association for Anti-Mass Surveillance Liberties advocacy group. Loan was appointed its Secretary-General. About five days later, she spoke at a protest organized by the group, with her famous quote being "I will not pay for the government to spy on me changing panties." When her employer saw her speech on television, he dismissed Loan from his staff permanently. In her interview with Relativism, she remarked that making that speech and being fired from her current job was her life's "greatest achievement."

Political Career

Loan joined the Jeunes Tigres in the day of its creation by convener Diệp Minh Chuyên. In the 2016 general election, she was selected as one of the eight candidates, running against her former employer. Out of the 10,212 votes in the constituency, she received 3,604. Due to her popular appeal from her speech, Loan was able to secure her membership, and became the youngest female assemblymember to ever serve.

Personal Life

Loan is currently single. She is a Haimeist practitioner, citing Mộng Diễm as her favorite mother goddess on the basis of ambition as her attribute. She also enjoys reading comics.
