Ronaldo Canfeld (born July 13, 2285) is a Carinansian politician and revolutionary serving as the 44th and current President of Carinansia since 2336. An independent politician, he served as the 88th Governor of Najolk from 2324 to 2332, and as a national Senator of the 1st District of Najolk from 2320 to 2324, in both latter cases as a member of the Anti-Fascist Coalition. He is the third president since the overthrow of the Serene Revivalist Dictatorship.
Born in El Papero, Najolk, Canfeld moved with his family to Ochamina in 2289. In 2293, they illegally emigrated abroad to a foreign community of Carinansian dissidents in Delhinmar, Islonia. He attended schooling in the city until 2297, when the Azlan Empire launched their final offensive in the Battle of Islonia, causing them to relocate to the True Serenist Refugee Camp near Alpina. They remained in the camp until 2305, during which time Canfeld had joined the underground Party for the Cárinansian Revolution. Afterwards, he returned to Carinansia via the Trans-Oikoian Railroad. Until 2318, he worked with the loose covert network of PRC guerrillas across the country, sabotaging the dictatorship's operations wherever possible. Later, as a member of the Anti-Fascist Coalition, he participated in armed resistance against the central government, and later the Rezendist government.
After the fall of the dictatorship, he was elected to represent the 1st Congressional district of Najolk. As a Senator, he sponsored the 42nd amendment for further voting, drafted and led the effort to pass the VIDRIO Act, and opposed the State Oversight Act. He also oversaw the confirmation hearing of Associate Justice Salvador Alguacil to the High Court. In 2323, he announced his intention to run for the governorship of Najolk, a position which he successfully won in the 2324 gubernatorial election position, and was reelected in 2328. While in the office, he expanded welfare programs, increased the state retirement age, and established an independent electoral commission to manage the state's elections, leaving in 2332 out of a belief in term limits for state governors.
He left the party in 2333, and began an independent presidential campaign in October 2335 by publishing his Manifesto for Leadership, a comprehensive 1700 page document which outlined his personal ideology and ambitions for the presidency, including: the 44th Amendment to the Constitution, mandating all states of the Serenacy establish an independent electoral commission to draw congressional district boundaries and manage municipal, provincial, gubernatorial, and presidential elections, to prevent the same irregularities found in the 2233 Carinansian Presidential Election; the reestablishment of wealth redistribution taxes; a homestead settling program to the recently incorporated extraterrestrial states.
Thus far, as president, he has moderately high approval ratings of 61.7%, and has regularly promoted multipartisanship to pass his agenda through the National Congress.
