Early life

He was placed 38th in the PSOE's list of candidates for the first elections to the Assembly of Madrid,[4] and became regional MP. He renovated his seat in the Assembly of Madrid in the 1987, 1991, 1995, 1999 elections. He was also Senator designate by the regional parliament, while also holding the position of Spokesperson of the PSOE in the regional chamber.[5]
