Gregorio Ordóñez

Gregorio Ordóñez Fenollar (21 July 1958 – 23 January 1995) was a Spanish People's Party (PP) politician in the Basque Country.

His paternal grandfather was killed by communists in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War, and his parents met when his 13-year-old orphan father was moved from Teruel to Terrateig in the Province of Valencia.

After graduating in journalism from the University of Navarra, he began writing for Norte Exprés, a centre-right newspaper in San Sebastián, and received threats from ETA.

[1] In the 1983 Spanish local elections, Ordóñez was one of three AP members voted onto San Sebastián's city council, the party's first representatives in Gipuzkoa.

The latter, known as "Txapote" and also responsible for killing Miguel Ángel Blanco and Fernando Múgica, received 30 years in prison and a €500,000 fine to the family of the deceased.
