Johannes Bendzko

Johannes Bendzko (born August 15, 1963) is a Westlandic politician and is the current acting President of the National Assembly since 2012. He originally served as the Minister of Interior Affairs from 2006 until 2011 and was responsible for early operations against the domestic terrorist organization known as Glorrikvaheit following the 2010 bombings in Brikkstö.

Born in Vikunö, Johannes grew up in a middle-class family and was heavily involved and interested in politics ever since his teenage years. He joined the Socialist Party in 1978 after becoming an official member of the Young Socialists and has been a staunch advocate for Strassonism and other Socialist ideas in both Westland and other countries. Johannes was selected as Interior Minister and was approved by the National Assembly in 2006 by Chancellor Pasha Bӓkkanba and later ran in 2012 to become President of the National Assembly and was selected by Oska Stärk after becoming Chancellor in 2012.

Ever since he became President of the National Assembly, Johannes has increasingly become a controversial figure in politics as his support of the Supreme Court to delay the trial of Slavi Morozoff has made radical faction members of the Socialist Party call him an "ideological seditionist" and a traitor, but he denies such accusations and continues to advocate for Strassonism and supports its role and influence in modern Westlandic society.
