Who is Fernando Prieto?
Fernando Prieto Martínez, was a Spanish political scientist, professor of the History of Ideas and director of the Centro de Estudios Políticos y Constitucionales.
In 1974, he became a professor with the Faculty of Political Science and Sociology at the Complutense University of Madrid. He had planned to establish himself as a researcher when Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez asked him to convert an old Francoist organization into a modern think-tank that would help Spain achieve its transition to Democracy. The organization was renamed and Prieto became its first director.
Upon leaving the directorship, Prieto returned to the academic world. He became especially well known for his studies of Seneca and Hegel. He was the president of the "Coordinadora Estatal para la Reforma de la Ley Electoral", an organization devoted to promoting participatory democracy and increasing citizen involvement in the legislative process.
