Carmen Romero reaches the age of 80 with an institutional career that covers Spanish and European politics. She was born in Seville on November 15, 1946, as is agreed by the records of the Congress of Deputies and the European Parliament.
El Mundo has put her name back in the present again by publishing that she will support Pedro Sánchez. The information connects her current political position with a biography that includes teaching activity, parliamentary representation, and work on rights and international relations.
Professor and deputy for Cádiz
Romero holds a degree in Modern Philology and was a secondary school teacher. This is how it appears in the historical documentation of the Congress.
She was a deputy for Cádiz during the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh terms. Her entry into the Chamber took place in 1989 and her term of national parliamentary service lasted until 2004.
The record of her first term notes her participation in the Education and Culture committees and in the Social Policy and Employment committee. She also joined the joint commission devoted to the study of the drug problem.
A parliamentary activity linked to education and employment
Her work in the Congress included interventions on the regulation of the education system and questions related to workshops schools and trades.
The parliamentary record also includes her participation as a rapporteur in legislative initiatives, including the creation of the Economic and Social Council.
These documents make it possible to reconstruct an activity of her own as an elected representative, beyond her relationship with Felipe González. The institutional record identifies the committees, the initiatives, and the dates on which she carried out her responsibilities.
Her time in the European Parliament
Romero was an MEP between July 2009 and June 2014, integrated into the group of the Socialists and Democrats.
During that term she was part of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs. She also participated in delegations for relations with Maghreb countries and in the Parliamentary Assembly for the Union for the Mediterranean.
In Foreign Affairs and in the delegation for relations with the Palestinian Legislative Council, she is listed as an alternate.

Her work in the European protection order
Among the documents from her European stage are the works on the European protection order, in which she appears as rapporteur together with Teresa Jiménez-Becerril.
The Parliament’s archive includes both the 2010 report and the recommendation for the second reading of 2011. It is one of the identifiable legislative initiatives in her institutional record.
What has been published about her support for Sánchez
The profile in El Mundo, signed by Consuelo Font, presents Romero as a supporter of voting for Pedro Sánchez. That position should be attributed to the information published by the newspaper.
It does not by itself equate to taking up an office, joining a candidacy, or announcing a campaign role. Her parliamentary career can be documented in official records; the electoral position that is now returning her to the headlines comes from the journalistic profile.
