Alfonso Rueda Valenzuela (born 8 July 1968)[1] is a Spanish People's Party (PP) politician.
He graduated in law from the University of Santiago de Compostela, and joined the New Generations of the People's Party in 1993.
He was appointed secretary general of the People's Party of Galicia (PPdeG) by its president Alberto Núñez Feijóo in 2006.
[8] In 2009, while secretary general of the PPdeG, Rueda attended a march by Galicia Bilingüe [gl], an organisation that believes that the Galician language is imposed upon the Spanish-speaking residents of the region.
[9] In 2022, after being installed as president, he was criticised for this attendance by leader of the opposition Ana Pontón; he defended himself by saying that the event was to uphold the bilingual status of the region.
