Curriculum Vitae

Dolors Montserrat Montserrat was born in 1973 in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, a village near Barcelona. She holds a Degree in Law from the University of Barcelona Abad Oliva-CEU, a Master's Degree from the School of Legal Practice of the Barcelona Bar Association and a Postgraduate Degree in Town Planning and Real Estate Law from the University of Pompeu Fabra. From 1997 to 2011, she worked as a lawyer in her own law firm, specialising in town planning, real estate and environmental law.

Motivated by her education and the political situation in Catalonia, she became involved in politics very early on - first, at the municipal level, in her hometown, where she combined her professional activity with being a councillor and spokesperson for Partido Popular from May 2003 to May 2015.

In 2008, she entered national politics and was elected to the Congress of Deputies, where she remained until 2019. Since 2011, she has been the third Vice-President of the Congress of Deputies. Then, in 2016, she was sworn in as Minister of Health, Social Services and Equality in the Mariano Rajoy government, a post she held until 2018 when she was appointed spokeswoman for the PP in the Congress of Deputies.

In 2019, she led the PP's European Parliament candidacy. Since then, she has been an MEP and leader of the Spanish delegation of the European People's Party Group in the European Parliament. She is also Chair of the Committee on Petitions and a Member of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety.
