Biography
Javier de Andrés was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz in 1967. He studied journalism at the University of the Basque Country, and later obtained a master's degree in finance. He entered politics in 1995, and from 1999 to 2004 he served in various posts in the Foral Deputation of Álava.[3] He joined the government of Ramón Rabanera in 2004 as Foral Deputy for Public Works. He was the People's Party candidate for Deputy General in the 2007 election.[4] Despite the People's Party obtaining the most seats in the General Assembly, Xabier Agirre of the Basque Nationalist Party was elected Deputy General.[5]
He was elected Deputy General after the 2011 election with support from the Socialist Party.[6] Despite leading the most voted candidacy again in 2015, he was succeeded by Ramiro González of the Basque Nationalist Party, whose party had obtained more seats in the General Assembly.[7] He was elected in 2016 to the Basque Parliament. He resigned after less than three months when he was named Delegate of the Government in the Basque Country.[8] He was dismissed in 2018 after the change in the central government, and substituted by Jesús Loza.[9]
