Fernando González Laxe

Fernando Ignacio González Laxe (born 6 September 1952) is a Spanish politician who was President of the Regional Government of Galicia from 1987 to 1990.

He began his professional career in 1975 as a professor of Economic Structure at a university college in La Coruña.

Candidate for re-election in 1989, he obtained an act of regional deputy, with the best results of the PSdeG-PSOE in the history of Galicia (28 seats), which ultimately proved insufficient, as the victory by absolute majority of Manuel Fraga prevented him revalidate the presidency, which he held until February 2, 1990.

In 2000 he resigned his seat in the Senate and in 2001 he stopped being a deputy in the Parliament of Galicia, not returning to occupy positions of political relevance.

In April 2009, he was named president of the Public Organism Puertos del Estado, position in which he ceased in January 2012.
