Irene Montero
Irene María Montero Gil (Spanish pronunciation: [iˈɾene monˈteɾo]; born 13 February 1988) is a Spanish politician, member of the Podemos party. She most recently served as the Minister of Equality of Spain from 13 January 2020 to 20 November 2023.
From January 2016 to August 2023, Montero was an MP for Madrid in the Congress of Deputies, and from February 2017 to January 2020 she was the Spokesperson for the Parliamentary Group Unidos Podemos-En Comú Podem-Galicia en Común in Congress. In 2024, Montero was elected as member of the European Parliament.
Irene María Montero Gil was born in the Moratalaz neighborhood of Madrid. She joined the Communist Youth Union of Spain (UJCE) in 2004. She has a bachelor's degree in psychology from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), and a master's degree in educational psychology.
She claimed to have received a scholarship for Harvard University, but chose to commit herself to politics instead of moving to the United States. In 2022 the Congress of Deputies requested to be provided a document showing evidence of her Harvard scholarship. It was later reported that due to her high grades, she received a grant to continue her studies at UAM, which came with an opportunity to also experience a training period at Harvard.
Montero joined Podemos after the elections to the European Parliament in 2014 together with Rafa Mayoral from the Platform of People Affected by Mortgages (PAH).
In November 2014, after being a candidate for the Citizen Council of Podemos, Montero was appointed head of Social Movements and began to lead the cabinet of the leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, at which time she postponed her doctoral thesis project on new methods of educational inclusion to dedicate herself entirely to Podemos.[citation needed]
Montero was a candidate for Madrid to the Congress of Deputies for Podemos in the elections of 20 December 2015, being elected deputy of the XI and the XII Legislature. Since 18 February 2017 she has held the position of Spokesperson of the United Confederal Group We Can-In Comú Podem-En Marea, being the youngest speaker of democracy.
During the election campaign of 20 December 2015 Iglesias announced that Montero would be the vice president and minister of the Presidency of a hypothetical government of Podemos.
