He was a long-standing member of the party and fought tirelessly to bring about a fairer, pro-European Spain.
The PES President Sergei Stanishev and the PES Common Candidate Frans Timmermans have expressed their deepest condolences to PSOE in the name of our entire political family.
As an interior minister, Alfredo played an essential role in ending decades of terrorism and bringing peace to Spain. As a leader of PSOE, he always put progressive ideas first and built majorities through dialogue.
He put his brilliant intelligence at the service of his party and his country. His contribution to our political family will be sorely missed.
