Orlando Miguel Moreno Hidalgo (August 9, 1678-November 1, 1749) was a Creeperian politician who served as the Prime Minister of Creeperopolis and the Chairman of the Liberal Party from 1725 to his death in 1749. He was a career politician and was member of the First Parliament of Creeperopolis representing the 2nd district of Adolfosburg from 1705 to his death in 1749.
Moreno Hidalgo was a lifelong Liberal and supported republican and secular policies in Parliament to reduce the power of the Monarchy and the Catholic Church in politics. He became the most trusted ally of Prime Minister Salvador Cerén Collazo leading to a rise in his popularity and reputation allowing him to easily win the 1725 general election becoming Prime Minister himself. Following the death of King Carlos II in 1728, his son, Carlos III, attempted to restore the full power of the monarchy in the Monarch's Revolution. His coup attempt failed and he was executed on August 13, 1729. In the wake of the exection, Moreno Hidalgo proclaimed the establishment of the Republic of Creeperopolis and abolished the monarchy. The royal family was exiled to the Kingdom of Atlántida and the State of the Church was abolished. His republic was shortlived however and was abolished following the Peoples' Revolution in 1730 where the public demanded the return of the King. Adolfo II, Carlos III's younger brother, became King in 1730, restoring the constitutional monarchy.
From 1730, Moreno Hidalgo worked to rebuild his reputation to stay in power. He continued his liberal policies such as the establishment of secular marriage, the legalization of homosexuality, and the taxing of Church properties. His policies lead to heavy opposition from Conservatives. The 1750 general election was predicted to be an extremely narrow election due to his waning support from the population. In October 1749, the Guazatancillo Affair was exposed to the public and outrage errupted across the nation and calls for Moreno Hidalgo's immediate resignation were being made by citizens, politicians, and the King. When a vote of no confidence was presented by his own party to be voted upon on November 2, 1749, which meant certain removal and a trial before court, he committed suicide by hanging on November 1, 1749, in his own home.
Orlando Moreno Hidalgo was posthumously pardoned by his successor and one of his remaining allies, Francisco López Yagüe, on November 8, 1749. The Conservatives proceeded to win the 1750 general election in a landslide and Moreno Hidalgo's 2nd district of Adolfosburg flipped to the Conservative Party for the first time in history. The Liberal Party posthumously repatriated Moreno Hidalgo as a member of their party in 1763 and championed his accomplishments during his Prime Ministership labeling the Guazatancillo Affair as Conservative slander. The National Liberal Party from the Second Parliament upheld the ideologies of Moreno Hidalgo and portrayed him as the champion of Republicanism, Secularism, and Anti-Monarchsim. The current Creeperian government is highly critical of Moreno Hidalgo and his policies.
