Alfonso Rueda has been the last one chosen by the PP to defend the great legacy of Manuel Fraga. He has been linked to the PP since he was young and his dedication to politics comes from his father.
He became Feijóo's right-hand man in 2006, but before that he had been director of Local Administration of Fraga between 2000 and 2005. Despite having spent 15 years at Feijo's side as general secretary of the party and vice president of the Xunta, he inherited his positions with little knowledge among the population.
