Phil Vibert

Philip Bertrand Déodat Jean-François Vibert  (born 27 April 1965), best known as Phil Vibert, is a Magisterian politician, left-wing progressive political commentator, and former professional wrestling promoter, creative writer, and colour commentator who is the 28th and current president of Magisteria. A former non-partisan politician, he served as the Chief of the State Council of the Philadelphia State from 2012 to 2020, making him the first ever non-partisan politician to become the Chief of the State Council.

Born and raised in the Annesia City, Federal Capital Territory, Vibert studied in Harvard University earning his Bachelor of Arts, and later in the University of Nueva Caceres. Before becoming a full-time politician, he was heavily involved in professional wrestling between 1987 and 2007, first being the main colour commentator of the Magisterian Wrestling Federation (MWF), before leaving the company and buying Danger And Violence Extreme (DAVE) in 1997. When DAVE filed for bankruptcy in 2007, he disappeared from the public eye before reappearing in 2009 as a Liberal Party member but he later left the party in late-2009.

In 2011, he decided to run become a representative in the State Council of the Philadelphia State as a non-partisan politician. He was later elected as the first independent representative in the legislature, then he became the Chief of the State Council in November 2012.

Vibert and his running mates Catherine Fournier-Dixon and Athelsan Matthews defeated the Republican ticket of Willis Lennox, Marceau Porcher, and Jérôme Hawthorne, and the Communist ticket of Fabian Plamondon, Jepson Hope, and Bridger Dwerryhouse in the 2021 snap presidential election. Vibert is the first president to have a female vice president, and the first from the Philadelphia state. His early presidential activity centered around his major economic policy, the A Marvelous Future 2030 to speed up the economic growth of Magisteria. After 50 years with the government operating under the 1971 Federal Constitution, it was finally replaced with the 2021 Federal Constitution, the notable changes about the new constitution is the presidential term was shortened to four years, a socialist left-libertarian statement, and keeping the neutrality law that constitutionally forbids the country from participating in wars, but has policy of maintaining the heavily armed Federal Defence Forces, and a close military alliance with a fellow neutral country, Switzerland.

Early life
Vibert was born on April 27, 1965, in Annesia City, Federal Capital Territory, being the oldest among his two sisters and two brothers. His mother is of Italian descent, and his father is of Jewish descent. From the age of nine, Vibert had a love for wrestling.

Magisterian Wrestling Federation (1987-1990; 1992-1997)
In 1987, Vibert joined the Magisterian Wrestling Federation (MWF) as a C-show announcer, debuting at the Mid Summer Madness event. His first stint with the MWF came to a temporary end in 1990, where Vibert left to finish his studies. Vibert would return to the company in 1992 after graduating. Packer, who was impressed by Vibert's idea, promoted Vibert to be a member of their creative team and later the executive producer but Vibert often clashed with Packer over the direction of the company, which led him to resign in 1997.

Danger And Violence Extreme (1997-2007)
After resigning from the MWF, Phil Vibert approached Buddy Gaines to buy DAVE which Gaines accepted. Vibert's takeover saw the beginning of the MWF-DAVE promotional war after MWF's most profitable female wrestler Heidi Hyde followed Vibert to DAVE.

Politics (2001-present)
While running DAVE, He started his political career on December 2001. He rarely made political appearances due to his main priority on running DAVE. After DAVE closed in 2007, he reappeared as a politician in 2009 as a Liberal Party member but left in the same year. He remained an Independent politician until January 20, 2021 when he officially joined the social-democratic Magisterian Democratic Party. He later left the MDP to form his own political party, the Party of Democratic Egalitarians.

on February 22, 2021, Phil Vibert won the first 2021 snap presidential election and is currently the 28th President of the United Magisterian States.

Personal life
Vibert married civil rights activist Maria Corbin (b. 1969) in 1995. He is the father of three children, two twin sons named Martin and Luther and a daughter named Emily. He is also said to be a self-professed avid gamer, with his favourite video games being Gran Turismo and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Vibert has also said he's a great admirer of Martin Luther King, Jr. His youngest brother Victor Vibert was one of the 2,977 victims of the tragic 9/11 attacks. Vibert considers himself as an agnostic theist. Vibert has a close personal friendship with former Vice President Leni Robredo, which explained his endorsement of her 2022 presidential campaign.

Political positions
Vibert's political views have been described as left-libertarian, democratic socialist, and progressive in nature, and he himself as an advocate of left-wing social policies. His supporters, however, claim that his views are more aligned with left-wing social democracy. His electorate is mainly formed by young adults, the working lower to upper class (mainly in the southeast region of the country), progressives in general, college graduates, some centrists and the Christian left.

Vibert is viewed as a pro-LGBT, evictionist, anti-fascist, anti-gun, anti-authoritarian, and anti-racist politician. Vibert has shown his moderate support for economic liberalism. Vibert is known for breaking the norm from traditional world politics by publicly denouncing corrupt leaders, particularly Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro, and Turkmenistan's Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, declining their invitations for meetings, while endorsing politicians that, liberal or not, he is confident with when it comes to integrity, particularly Chile's President Gabriel Boric, the Philippines' Vice President Leni Robredo, the latter of which ran for president for their elections on May, Colombia's Gustavo Petro, and Brazil's former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who is running for a third term.

Phil Vibert has been a vocal opponent of gun rights, LGBT rights opposition, extreme conservatism, nationalist racial supremacism, racial segregation, corporatism, state capitalism, cronyism, authoritarianism, totalitarianism, and fascism.

Similarities with Michael Vlokozu
Since his arrival into the world of politics in December 2001, he has shown similarities to the late Michael Vlokozu of the Vlokozu Union. He is a world peace advocate and a utopianist with his main goal being exactly the same as what Vlokozu was doing when ruling West El Kadsre and the Vlokozu Union, to create a western-style utopian society with "no corruption, fighting or discrimination, but only peace, friendship and understanding."
