Name:
Roberto Jose Urbina
Country: Aurarine Republic
In Review: Roberto Urbina was elected to the Chamber of Tribunes in 1950 and quickly became leader of the largest Liberal faction, the Democratic Union. Before the independence of Auraria, Urbina served as the appointed Governor of Naranjo and worked closely with Noe Casales and Reldon Vicario when the constitution was being drafted. Because of illness, Noe Casales could no longer participate in politics, so Urbina took over, leading the liberals in government. Urbina's legislative track record in Heredia was not substantial as his party never obtained a majority and lacked any possibility of overcoming the Conservatives' majority. However, Urbina became instrumental with Tribune Aureliano Zavala, organizing the Federal Republicans and was the principle author of the revised constitution. When Civil War broke out and Tribune Zavala was killed, the rebel faction turned to Urbina as the leader of the legitimate government and trusted him to guide the war for the fate of Auraria.
