Carolina Vega is a New Alexandrian politician serving as a Deputy to the Federal Assembly of Nouvelle Alexandrie for the Region of Valencia. A member of the Federal Humanist Party, she is known for her independent stance and confrontational style in parliamentary debate.
Vega was first elected to the Federal Assembly in the general election of 1734. Vega famously never used her Deputy's First Question until 1739 AN, when she asked FCP Premier Marissa Santini what lessons the government had drawn from the intelligence failures of the Spring Crisis of 1739. The directness of her question, posed in the immediate aftermath of the attempted coup, established her reputation. She had deliberately saved her First Question for the moment rather than using it during her very first Question Time session in 1735 AN.
During the Spring Crisis itself, Vega gained national attention when she addressed The Empty Chair in the Federal Assembly while calling for resistance to the coup. Speaking to the vacant seat that represents absent citizens, she declared that she spoke for "every New Alexandrian who cannot stand in this chamber but stands with the Constitution." The moment was broadcast across the country and became one of the defining images of civilian opposition during the crisis.
