Federico Augusto de Almagro y Strong, commonly known as Fred Strong, is a Humanist politician and plantation owner from North Lyrica, notable for being the scion of two political dynasties - being the grandson of Felipe de Almagro and the great-grandson of Augustus Strong. He therefore possesses Constancian nationality by blood descent.
Biography
Political career
He was first elected as Deputy to the Federal Assembly in the 1744 general election representing the Region of North Lyrica.
At the initiative of Vice-Premier Fred Strong, the 303rd Army of Observation was organised in Eastern Santander, providing security for resettlement operations and a visible demonstration of New Alexandrian commitment to the Mala'anje Resistance during the Mala self-determination crisis, 1753.
Following the New Alexandrian general election, 1754, the FHP negotiating team, led by Vice-Premier Fred Strong and Chief Whip Daniela Ferrer, signed a preliminary framework with the CGA on 29.IX.1754 AN. Montero did not countersign. Within hours of the framework's circulation to the FHP parliamentary group, senior deputies raised objections.
A parallel negotiation had been underway since the first week after the election. On 23.IX.1754 AN, the Vice-Premier and FHP Chief Whip Daniela Ferrer met informally with four Aldurian independent deputies at a private dinner in Cárdenas. The four, all former community leaders and local officials whose campaigns had been built on personal reputation rather than party affiliation, indicated that a group of Aldurian independents might be willing to provide confidence and budget support in exchange for targeted commitments to the region. Strong and Ferrer reported the conversation to Montero the same evening. These negotiations, left with Ferrer, led to the FHP-Independent confidence and supply agreement, 1754.
Private life
Famously partial to receiving crates of Clos de Montferrand at gatherings hosted amongst the family's sprawling tea plantations.
Selected quotes
"I would take leftism more seriously if it wasn't a theatre of audition for the management caste, and there wasn't the perpetual shell game of charitable funding leading back invariably to the taxpayer or some disinterested billionaire foundation, both operated by the management caste."
