Daniela de la Vega

Character in the USE Universe

Daniela de la Vega was a human scientist and politician in the United States of Earth during the 23rd century. She served as President of Earth from 2210 and leader of the Interstellar Democratic Party from 2211.

History
De la Vega was born in the Brazilian Republic in 2160. She showed an early aptitude for the classical sciences and achieved an advanced degree in Physics before working in the private sector. She became a member of the USE Science Council in 2200, heading the Physics Research Program.

In 2210, de la Vega became the unexpected winner of the 2210 USE Presidential Election. This was in contravention to the wishes of the Majestic Twelve, who had been working behind the scenes to promote the re-election of President Franz Bergmeister. Despite their attempts, the sheer volume of public support at the ballot box made it impossible for MJ12 operatives to influence the vote count without the result appearing to be wildly out of touch with reality.
