He has dedicated his life to politics, starting with his studies in Political Science and, after completing them, he began to rise in the ranks of the PSOE, where, in his own words, he has had “the opportunity to learn and work with the best: Zapatero, Rubalcaba, Pedro Sánchez“.

This side of his maternal family contrasts with his paternal side. His other grandfather, from Asturias, was one of those retaliated during the Franco dictatorship. He fled to Melilla and that was where his father, Ricardo López, and his uncle Fernando were born.

He married in common law with Marta Suarezwith whom he has two daughters of 14 and 15 years old. He guards his private life with suspicion, although there are media outlets that indicate that the couple is currently divorced.
