Biography

[edit]

Born on 20 January 1956 in the municipality of La Adrada,[1] González was politically mentored by Feliciano Blázquez.[2] He graduated in law from the Complutense University of Madrid and later earned his doctorate from the University of Burgos.[3] Related to Ángel Acebes — he is the brother-in-law of Acebes' brother Víctor — they share a close friendship and operated a law firm together in Ávila during the mid-1980s.[4][5] During Acebes' tenure as Secretary General of the People's Party, González served as the National Secretary of Organization.[6]

González was a councillor for the City Council of Ávila from 1987 to 2004 and served as President of the Provincial Deputation of Ávila from 1993 to 2004.[1] He was elected as a regional representative for Ávila in the 1991 regional election, serving in the Cortes of Castile and León during its 3rd legislative period (1991–1995).[1] In 2004, he was elected to the Congress of Deputies for Ávila and was re-elected in the 2008 and 2011 elections. He left the Congress in 2015, subsequently winning a seat in the Senate in the 2015 and 2016 elections.

In July 2018, González was appointed treasurer of the People's Party.[7]
