Joaquín Leguina Herrán (born 5 May 1941)[1] is a Spanish politician and writer. A member of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), he became the first President of the Community of Madrid, serving from 1983 and 1995. He also was Secretary-General of the Socialist Party of Madrid from 1979 to 1991.
After leaving the presidency of the Madrid region, he became a member of the PSOE National Executive Board presided by Joaquín Almunia.[2] He also returned to the Congress of Deputies, becoming a member of the 6th, 7th and 8th terms of the Lower House in representation of Madrid. During the 8th term he chaired the Defence Committee of the Congress of Deputies.[3]
A staunch critic of the Catalan pro-independence movement, he became a member of the Libres e Iguales platform in 2014, signing their manifesto.[4][5][6] Later the same year, he likened Artur Mas to the Pied Piper of Hamelin.[7]
