Andrea Levy (politician)

[3] An only child from a middle-class family, Levy was schooled at the Lycée Français de Barcelone and did a semester at Saint Martin's School of Art in London; she said she was inspired to join the latter institution by a reference to it in the Pulp song "Common People".

[1] She did an internship in the Ministry of Agriculture in the Generalitat de Catalunya under Socialist administration, and then joined the People's Party.

[5] After her sobriety had been put into doubt after slurring her words in several speeches,[6] she publicly announced in February 2021 that she has fibromyalgia in order to counter these accusations.

[9] She was number two in the PP's list in Barcelona behind Xavier García Albiol in the 2015 Catalan regional election.

[10] In June 2015, PP leader and prime minister Mariano Rajoy named her Vice Secretary of Studies and Programmes; Pablo Casado, also in his early 30s, was brought in too.
