Ione Belarra
Ione Belarra Urteaga (born 25 September 1987) is a Spanish politician from the party Podemos who served as Minister of Social Rights and 2030 Agenda from 2021 to 2023. She has been her party's leader since June 2021.
She is a member of the State Citizen Council of Podemos. She was first elected to the Congress of Deputies in the 2015 election, representing the constituency of Navarre, and switched to the Madrid constituency in 2023.
Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Belarra graduated in psychology in 2012 from the Autonomous University of Madrid, where she was a classmate of Irene Montero. She earned a master's degree in education; she and Montero left their doctoral programmes because of their political careers.
She has worked in research on issues related to education, migratory experiences, and human rights. During those years she has served as an activist and volunteer in various organizations, such as SOS Racismo and the Spanish Red Cross, and in platforms and campaigns for the closure of the Centers for the Internment of Foreigners (CIEs), as well as in various mobilizations in defense of the human rights of people in situations of special vulnerability.
One of Belarra's earliest activist campaigns was against immigrant detention centres.
Belarra joined Podemos in its founding year, 2014. The following year, she entered its national executive, the Citizens' Council, where she was put in charge of the area of human rights, citizenship and diversity. She led Podemos's list in the Navarre constituency in the 2015 Spanish general election, being one of two Podemos members elected by the region. From July 2018, she and Pablo Echenique filled in as parliamentary and general spokespeople of Podemos, respectively, during Montero and Pablo Iglesias's joint maternity/paternity leave.
After the November 2019 Spanish general election, Podemos entered government with the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), and Belarra became Secretary of State for the 2030 Agenda from January 2020 to March 2021. She then became Minister of Social Rights and 2030 Agenda.
After Iglesias's retirement, Belarra was voted secretary general of Podemos with 88.69% of the members' votes in June 2021, while Yolanda Díaz succeeded Iglesias as leader of Unidas Podemos.
