Ignacio Pérez de San Quintín is a New Alexandrian politician, civil engineer, architect, and mathematician who has served as Secretary of Civil Works and Transportation since 1739 AN and as a Deputy of the Federal Assembly representing Boriquén since 1739 AN.
Born into a prominent family in Hato Rey, Pérez de San Quintín distinguished himself academically with advanced degrees in civil engineering, architecture, and applied mathematics from the University of Cárdenas before returning to Boriquén to establish a successful engineering consultancy firm. He made history as the first and only Federal Humanist Party candidate to win the mayoralty of Hato Rey, serving from 1729 AN to 1734 AN and implementing groundbreaking urban infrastructure projects that became models for sustainable development in the Federation. He lost his mayoral re-election bid to Alicia Filipenses of the Wakara People's Party in 1734 AN and returned to working in the private sector. His work as Mayor of Hato Rey and afterwards in the private sector earned him national recognition and led to his recruitment by Premier Juan Pablo Jimenez for the Council of State and as Deputy of the Federal Assembly in 1739 AN.
The San Quintín incident
Pérez de San Quintín's name became part of New Alexandrian popular culture following a notorious incident during his tenure as Mayor of Hato Rey in 1732 AN. During a heated city council meeting over a controversial waterfront development project, Pérez de San Quintín's attempt to restore order using a combination of parliamentary procedure, engineering diagrams, and increasingly animated gestures resulted in a chaotic scene that devolved into shouting matches, flying papers, and several council members storming out. The incident, widely broadcast on local television, saw the normally composed mayor becoming increasingly flustered as he tried to explain complex zoning calculations while council members interrupted with personal attacks and procedural objections. The phrase "Y se formó las de San Quintín" (literally "And the San Quintín situation formed") quickly entered common usage throughout Nouvelle Alexandrie to describe any situation where attempts to solve a problem only make it worse, or when a minor disagreement escalates into a full-blown argument or brawl. The Istvanistani equivalent "He San Quintín'd the vibe" is commonly used among younger New Alexandrians to describe someone who accidentally turns a calm situation chaotic through well-intentioned but misguided intervention.
