Errejón, Íñigo

Íñigo Errejón Galván (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈiɲiɣo ereˈxoŋ galˈβan]; born 14 December 1983) is a Spanish political scientist and former politician. Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science, he was the secretary for policy and strategy and campaigning of Podemos (managing several electoral campaigns of the political party) as well as a member of the 11th and 12th terms of the Congress of Deputies. He split from Podemos and founded a new platform in early 2019, Más Madrid, under which Errejón was elected to the Assembly of Madrid and that was later re-constituted as Más País in order to run in the November 2019 general election, with the outcome of Errejón returning to the Congress of Deputies. He left politics in October 2024 after being accused of sexual assault. From the standpoint of political theory, he is influenced by Ernesto Laclau and the Essex School of discourse analysis.
