Biography

Born on 5 August 1946 in Santander,[1] he obtained a PhD degree in Political Science and Sociology at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM).[2] He became a member of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in 1973,[2] and became linked to the guerrista faction within the party.[3]

He has held the chair of Sociology at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) and at the National University of Distance Education (UNED).[3]

He joined the Federal Executive Commission of the PSOE following the 39th Congress of the party in 2017 in the capacity of Secretary responsible for Studies and Programs.[3]

Following the accession of Pedro Sánchez to the post of Prime Minister in June 2018, Tezanos asked for the suspension of functions in the Federal Executive Commission to focus on his newly appointed post as President of the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS), the public institute for sociological resarch directly dependent on the Ministry of Presidency.[4]
