Administration of Chancellor Isabella Betancourt

The administration of Chancellor Isabella Betancourt refers to the two non-consecutive terms of executive government in Natopia led by Chancellor Isabella Betancourt of the Union Democratic Movement (UDM). Betancourt's first administration governed from 1740 AN to 1742 AN in coalition with the Parti Alexandrin, with Jules Chantelle serving as Vice-Chancellor. Her second administration governed from 1745 AN to 1752 AN in coalition with the Nationalist and Humanist Party, with Frederik Hartmann as Vice-Chancellor. The two terms were separated by the Aristarchus administration (1742 AN–1745 AN).

Betancourt dominated Natopian politics for over a decade, earning a reputation as a formidable parliamentary debater whose sharp wit and steely charm made her equally admired and feared. Her political style blended centre-left Aldricist social policies with pragmatic, occasionally hawkish positions on fiscal discipline, immigration, and defense, a combination that allowed her to build coalitions across traditional ideological lines. The first Betancourt administration collapsed when the UDM–PA coalition fractured over the Community of Goldfield Trade Acceleration Act, leading to snap elections that brought Emmanuel Aristarchus and the Free Juice and Bagels Party to power. Three years later, Betancourt returned to office following a vote of no confidence against Aristarchus, immediately leading Natopia into the Fourth Euran War as part of the Raspur Pact coalition. Her second term oversaw victory in the war, post-war reconstruction, and the most significant constitutional reform in modern Natopian history, culminating in the establishment of the bicameral Frenzy through the 1751 referendum. Betancourt lost her Frenzy seat in the 1752 elections and was succeeded as UDM leader by Henry Demetrios.
