Tomás José Guitarte Gimeno is a Spanish architect and politician serving as the president of Teruel Existe. He was deputy of the Congress of Deputies for Teruel Existe during the 14th Cortes Generales. Since 2023 he is a member of the Cortes of Aragon.

Gimeno has faced harassment from right-wing and far-right supporters. This stems from his decision to vote in favour of the investiture of the PSOE and Unidas Podemos coalition. As a result, Guitarte has been provided with a security escort by the Ministry of the Interior.[1][2]

Since November 2022 Guitarte has been spokesperson for the Empty Spain coalition, of which Teruel Existe is a part.
