About Irene MONTERO
Irene Montero represents Spain in the European Parliament as a member of PODEMOS, the left-wing populist party that emerged from the anti-austerity movement and became a major force in Spanish politics. She sits with The Left in the European Parliament (GUE/NGL), a political group that advocates for socialist policies, workers' rights, environmental protection, and opposition to neoliberal economic policies. Montero previously served as Spain's Minister of Equality from 2020 to 2023 under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's coalition government, where she championed progressive gender policies and LGBTI+ rights. Her ministerial experience brings significant policy expertise to her European Parliament role. Montero demonstrates strong parliamentary engagement, maintaining a 94.1% attendance record that exceeds the European Parliament average of approximately 82%, and has participated in 94% of votes (1,762 of 1,873). She serves a full term rather than filling a partial mandate, reflecting her established position within PODEMOS and Spanish left-wing politics.
