A candidate for continuity
He is a close and trusted associate of Alfonso Bullón de Mendoza, and has been instrumental in the Association’s new phase, during which it has established itself as a leading social force in Catholic culture through initiatives such as the newspaper *El Debate*, the Resurrection Concert or its active participation in Spanish social life, as exemplified by its Christian-inspired float in Madrid’s Three Kings Parade.
Under this leadership, the ACdP’s university initiatives have also been consolidated and expanded, making the CEU, among other things, the private educational institution that awards the most scholarships in Spain, with more than 95 million euros distributed over the last six academic years.
