Vicente Ruiz Monrabal

Vicente Ruiz Monrabal (1936 in Sedaví, Spain – 2011) was a Spanish lawyer and politician.

[2] In the 1960s he became involved with Christian democratic groups helping to found the Democratic Union of the Valencian Country (Spanish: Unión Democrática del País Valenciano) in 1967 and becoming Secretary General of that group.

[3] He headed the party list in Valencia Province at the 1977 General Election[4] but was unsuccessful.

Consequently he spoke at party meetings in Spanish rather than Valencian in order to avoid being branded as "Catalanist.

[3] Subsequently he had a brief period as a member of the People's Party[3] before retiring from political life.
