Biography

[edit]

Aguirre was born in Córdoba in Andalusia as one of nine siblings. His older brother Juan José Aguirre became bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bangassou in the Central African Republic.[1] Aguirre graduated with a degree in medicine from the University of Córdoba in 1979.[2]

In the 2008 Spanish general election, Aguirre was one of four people elected to the Senate by the Córdoba constituency, the other three being members of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE).[3] In the 2011 election, Aguirre was one of three senators elected in the constituency for the People's Party in their best-ever result, while the PSOE fell to one seat.[4] Aguirre was second on the party list in the 2015 election,[5] but the situation was reversed with PSOE taking three seats and the PP one.[6] In 2016, Aguirre returned to the Senate as the situation was reversed once again.[7]

In January 2019, Aguirre was named minister of health in the Juanma Moreno's cabinet in the Regional Government of Andalusia.[1] He was first on the PP list in the Córdoba constituency in the 2022 Andalusian regional election,[2] and his party took seven of 12 seats.[8] In July 2022, he was elected President of the Parliament of Andalusia (speaker) with the votes of his party, which held the majority. He was his party's first holder of the office.[9]
