Alfonso Guerra González (born 31 May 1940) is a Spanish politician. A leading member of the
Congress of Deputies
from 1977 to 2015, and was the longest-serving deputy at the time of his departure.
In 1988 Guerra received an
Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal in Lima, Peru, and he was awarded the Medaglia D'oro in 1984 by the Sapienza University of Rome
.
Guerra was an extremely controversial politician, noted for his acid discourse against his opponents - which was criticised as
demagogy by his political adversaries. He was forced to quit his position as vice-president after a financial scandal involving his brother Juan Guerra.[3][4][5]
On 5 November 2014, Guerra announced that he would be resigning from congress at the end of the parliamentary session in December 2014.[6] At the time of his resignation announcement, he was the longest serving member of congress.[7]
