Since Carlos Urquijo ceased to represent the Spanish government in the Basque Country, he has been separated from political life, but as the Spanish Vice-President Soraya Saénz de Santamaría promised at the time, he has been “found a place”.

He will also start working in a foundation in Madrid led by Cristina Cifuentes and in the executive of the PP of Álava led by Iñaki Oyarzabal. He was forced to leave his position as government representative after being caught buying “top blanket.”

From 2012 to the beginning of 2017 he represented the Spanish Government of the Basque Country, with more than a thousand appeals against the decisions of the Basque institutions. The denunciation to the Government, municipalities and deputies, most of them were flags, Basque, prisoners and those related to consultations. Among the most controversial are the opposition of Pablo Gosorostiaga and Jone Artola to the pitching of Laudio and Bilbao, the spectacle of Pirritx and Bankruptcy during the Bilbao festivities and the municipal acts in Basque.
