Candidates

Radovan Hájek-Thorsen

NSB

Radovan Hájek-Thorsen was born in the mountain villages east of Bratislava-Nova, where his family has farmed the Tatra plateau for four generations. Before entering politics he spent twelve years as a structural engineer on the plateau's road and bridge network, giving him a firsthand understanding of how federal infrastructure funding reaches — or fails to reach — rural Nord Europa. He is standing in this regional election to return decision-making over plateau affairs to the people who live there.

Radovan Björk-Horáček

MEC

Born in Bratislava-Nova to a Slovak-dialect-speaking father and a Swedish-minority mother, Radovan Björk-Horáček spent twelve years as a translator and outreach coordinator at the Federal Translation Centre's Bratislava-Nova annex before entering regional politics. He became locally known for running multilingual literacy workshops in the rural plateau counties, bridging the region's three-language tradition through Esperanto as a neutral medium. He stands in this election to carry the Esperanto Citizenship Movement's message directly into Nord Europa's heartland, where the NSB has long dominated by treating federation as a threat rather than a tool.

Veronika Sládková

PdU

Born and raised in Bratislava-Nova, Veronika Sládková spent fifteen years as a regional civil-service administrator managing federal grant disbursements across Nord Europa's rural counties. She left the civil service in 2023 to run a cooperative credit union serving plateau farming communities, and is now standing for the Regional Assembly to bring that same institutional pragmatism into elected office.

Radovan Björk-Sedláček

FR

Radovan Björk-Sedláček was born in Bratislava-Nova to a family of timber merchants who have traded across the Tatra plateau for three generations. He spent twelve years managing logistics for a cross-regional freight cooperative, giving him firsthand knowledge of how federal tariff rules affect Nord Europa's landlocked export chains. He is standing for the Regional Assembly to bring a business-minded voice to a chamber he believes has grown too absorbed in constitutional grievance.

Petra Vanhanen-Kováč

LVA

Petra Vanhanen-Kováč was born in the Tatra plateau's eastern counties to a family of foresters and spent fifteen years as a woodland ecologist with the Nord Europa Environmental Survey before entering local politics as a district councillor in Bratislava-Nova. She stood twice on the Nord-Slovak Bloc's environmental wing before crossing to La Verda Aliro in 2024, citing the Bloc's retreat from climate commitments. She is standing now to bring the Green Path's federal coalition work home to a region she says has been told to wait long enough.

Renata Skovajsová

NSB

Born in Bratislava-Nova to a family of plateau dairy farmers, Renata Skovajsová moved to San Vicente twelve years ago as a logistics coordinator for a cross-regional freight-rail cooperative. She spent a decade negotiating inland-transport contracts between Tierra Verde's agricultural interior and the federal grid before standing as a Nord-Slovaka Bloko councillor in San Vicente's third district. She is running for mayor on the argument that San Vicente's city hall has ceded too many local decisions to federal ministries in Meridian.

Sofía Ybarra Kiriñe

MEC

Born in San Vicente to a Guaraní-speaking smallholder family on the eastern cooperative belt, Sofía Ybarra Kiriñe spent twelve years as a language-access coordinator at the Federal Translation Centre's Tierra Verde annex, helping rural yerba-mate growers navigate federal paperwork in their own tongue. She stood twice as a cooperative delegate to the Regional Assembly before joining Movado Esperanto-Civitana at its founding in 2024, drawn by its insistence that citizenship means full participation, not provisional welcome. She is standing for Mayor of San Vicente to bring that principle home to the city that governs the cooperative heartland.

Rodrigo Quispe-Alvarado

PdU

Born and raised in San Vicente's cooperative quarter, Rodrigo Quispe-Alvarado spent fifteen years as a federal agricultural liaison officer coordinating yerba-mate export standards between Tierra Verde's smallholder cooperatives and the Federal Treasury in Meridian. He returned to San Vicente in 2021 to chair the city's Inter-Cooperative Infrastructure Council, overseeing the expansion of the Río Esperanto barge network that carries cooperative produce to the inland freight terminals. He is standing for mayor to bring the same patient, institution-building approach he applied in Meridian to the streets and plazas of his home city.

Rodrigo Almada Ferreyra

FR

Born in San Vicente to a family of smallholder yerba-mate farmers, Rodrigo Almada Ferreyra left the cooperative circuit to study agribusiness logistics at the University of Meridian before returning to manage a regional freight-forwarding firm that links Tierra Verde's inland harvest routes to the federal rail network. He served two terms on the San Vicente Chamber of Commerce board, where he championed cold-storage infrastructure for perishable exports. He is standing in this race because he believes San Vicente's cooperative economy can grow faster if the city government stops treating commerce as a problem to be regulated and starts treating it as an engine to be fuelled.

Sofía Quispe-Aranda

LVA

Born in San Vicente to a family of smallholder yerba-mate farmers in the Río Esperanto valley, Sofía Quispe-Aranda spent fifteen years as an agronomist and soil-health researcher at the Universidad Cooperativa de San Vicente before entering local politics as a neighbourhood council delegate. She is standing for mayor to bring the cooperative sector's voice directly into City Hall, arguing that San Vicente's growth must be rooted in the land economy that built it.
