Spanish politician Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba dies

  • Perez Rubalcaba died this Friday at noon after being admitted to a hospital for several days due to a stroke that caused his absence. The former Secretary General of the PSOE and former Minister of the Interior of Spain, among others, was one of the figures that most influenced the strategy of the Spanish State in the recent times of ETA.

At the Puerta de Hierro Hospital in Majadahonda in Madrid, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, 67, has died. Before his death, numerous senior representatives from Spain and politicians have gone through the streets of the city to show their influence on the political career of Rubalcaba.

In the 1980s, he began his career in the government of Felipez González in the direction of universities and gradually took on more and more important positions. From 1993 onwards, it was the face of the Spanish Government, when it was completely splintered with the attacks and murders of the GAL.

The greatest political power, however, achieved it under the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero between 2004 and 2011. He was Interior Minister, Government spokesman and Vice-President, all at once. In the recent times of ETA, Rubalcaba had much to say, both in the Loyola talks and afterwards, when the organization was about to abandon the weapons.

Rubalcaba's strategy was to tighten the left politically abertzale. During those years there were numerous macro-criminal arrests and torture, including the imprisonment of prominent members of the Abertzale left who were working to bring ETA to an end as a result of the Bateragune case. Many of those prosecuted in these operations were later acquitted.
