The diplomat Pablo Pérez Guerreira will be the new deputy director general for the Middle East, to fill the vacancy left by José María Fernández López de Turiso, who became deputy director general for the Maghreb, as reported by The Diplomat.
Although José Luis Martín-Yagüe, who was a member of the sub-directorate general’s advisory board and had been performing the duties of deputy director general, had initially been earmarked for the post, Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares has finally decided to appoint Pablo Pérez Guerreira, who was currently at the Spanish embassy in Quito, to the post.
Pérez Guerreira entered the diplomatic career in 2010 and after working in the Directorate General for External Communication and the Deputy Directorate General for Security and Peacekeeping Operations, he was in the Protocol Services of the Presidency of the Government.
After a brief stay in Brussels, the European External Action Service, he was sent to the Spanish Embassy in Libya and later to the Embassy of Spain in Saudi Arabia, where he was from 2017 to 2019. In August of that year he moved to the Embassy in Ecuador.
