Múla Tín Tún

Múla Tín Tún (b. 3 August 1960) is the 20th Grand Senator of Énqusqó and one of the 15 Public Senators for Calénqu, having held the latter position since the 2008 election. He is the first Grand Senator to take office that has not been a member of the Unionist Party, forming a minority government in coalition with the Northern Interests Party in the 2022 election.

Múla Tín attended the University of Tsétlaxó to study Economics and went on to attain a masters in the subject. In a 1995 interview, during his term as Economic Consul of the Calénqu Republic, he explained that a large motivation for pursuing his academics came in the wake of the oil crisis that emerged in the later 70s following the commencement of the Agar civil war. It was also during his time at university that he joined the Mercantilist Party and has been a life-long supporter of their policy.

2019 - 2022
Under the Union-Mercantilist coalition, Múla Tín served on the Jade Council under Tsétli Mín Xénya.

Grand Senator of the Republic of Énqusqó
As the leader of the coalition between the Mercantilist and Northern Interests parties, Múla Tín was voted in confidence to form a government by the newly elected Public Senate on the 8th September 2022. He is the second Grand Nominee to be selected by the senate to have not been from the Unionist party, however, he is the first to be elected from a coalition that did not contain the Unionist party. On the 9th September he went before a meeting of the Regal Senate which also voted in confidence of him and his government, after which he was sworn into office as the 20th Grand Senator of Énqusqó, the first ever Mercantilist Grand Senator.

Economic and foreign policy
Múla Tín is a strong proponent of buff economic policy, and his neomercantilist economic reforms in Calénqu were successful in boosting the city-sate's economy compared to its neighbours in the republic. During his 2022 election campaign he promised to make the RCE "stand out" against its neighbours in the Kidal Sea Cooperative Union. Múla Tín is a harsh critic of the KSCU and strongly opposes unified monetary and fiscal policy, believing that the economic sovereignty of the republic cannot be compromised.

He has made several comments about the republic's increased dependency on Riyata through foreign investment, and while viewing the country and an invaluable ally, seeks to bolster Énqusqan economic strength independent of its allies. Like his predecessor, Lalín Woóra Múza, Múla Tín is a strong supporter of Lower Tar-dinuuen independence and in his ascension speech has proclaimed to "review" the establishment of a permanent Énqusqan embassy in the capital Kendin alongside his campaign promise to allow the Lower tar-dinuuen embassy to relocate from Vinceénqu to Tsétlaxó.

Environmental policy
Múla Tín has consistently voted in favour of investment into renewable energy production, and has been a strong advocate for shifting the Énqusqan energy sector towards green and clean energy since his time as a Calénqu official. Múla Tín argues that the emerging Énqusqan economy is the perfect place to encourage investors to develop these new technologies. Tax liens, subsidies and government-lead initiatives to foster this green economy have all featured within his manifesto, a departure from the Mercantilist Party's traditional pro-fossil-fuel stance.
