Felipe González Life

Felipe González Márquez (Spanish pronunciation: [felipe ale] márquez]; born 5 March 1942), a Spanish lawyer, lecturer, and politician who served as the Secretary-General of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) from 1974 to 1997, and the 3rd Prime Minister of Spain since the country's democratic revival began in 1982. He is Spain's longest-serving Prime Minister who has not been elected freely.

González joined the PSOE in 1964, when it was banned under Francoism's regime. In 1965, he earned a law degree from the University of Seville. After a break in its 26th Congress in 1974, the PSOE elected González as its Secretary-General. After Franco's death and the start of Spain's democratic transition, González gained a seat in the Congress of Deputies after he led the PSOE campaign in the 1977 general election but lost to Adolfo Suárez.

González led the Government of Spain for thirteen and a half years after three more victories in the 1986, 1989, and 1993 general elections following his PSOE victory in the 1982 general election. González lost the 1996 general election to José Mara Aznar and the People's Party for the first time in the 2000 general election, from Seville.

Early life

González, the son of a small dairy farmer, was born in Bellavista, Seville. Lola González Márquez, who was married to Francisco Germán Palomino Romera, has two sons, Felipe and Germán Palomino González. He studied law at Seville University and began his career as an advocate specializing in labor law. Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT): While at the University, he met members of the clandestine socialist trade union Unión General de Trabajadores. He also called members of the PSOE and started participating in the party's clandestine activities, which were unheardent under Franco's dictatorship. During that time, he adopted the name Isidoro and migrated to Madrid. He was elected Secretary General of the Party at the Suresnes Congress in France.

González was the most influential figure among the regime's left-wing opposition, and he played a vital role, as well as then serving prime minister Adolfo Suárez, in Spain's democratic transition. During the Suárez administration, General and Vice President Manuel Gutiérrez Mellado begged González not to raise the subject of the Civil War and Franquist repression until the deaths of those of his generation.

The PSOE became the second most popular party in the first democratic general election since Franco's death in 1977, and González emerged as the country's second most popular and promising leader. However, he did not win the 1979 election and had to wait until 1982 and the dissolution of the Union of the Democratic Centre Party to assume power.
