Manuel Fraga
Manuel Fraga was a prominent Spanish politician and one of the founding members of the People's Party (PP). He served as the Minister of Information and Tourism under Franco's regime and later became the first President of the autonomous community of Galicia from 1990 to 2005. Fraga played a significant role in Spain's transition to democracy and was a key figure in shaping the modern conservative political landscape in the country. His legacy is complex, as he is both criticized for his connections to the Franco regime and praised for his contributions to Spanish politics. He passed away in 2012.
