He worked as advisor for Xavier García Albiol during the campaign of the People's Party (PP) politician for the 2011 Badalona municipal election, after which García Albiol became Mayor of Badalona.[2] Appointed in 2012 as Chief of Staff of the Presidency of the Junta de Extremadura (an office with rank of regional minister), serving as advisor to José Antonio Monago, also a PP politician. He also worked in the Basque Country as advisor of PP's Antonio Basagoiti.[3]
