José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero spanyol szocialista politikus, 2004 és 2011 között Spanyolország miniszterelnöke volt. Pártja, a Spanyol Szocialista Munkáspárt kétszer nyerte meg a választásokat, először 2004. március 14-én, majd 2008. március 9-én. Hivatalba lépése utáni első döntései: a spanyol csapatokat Irakból történő hazahívása, ellentmondásos tárgyalások lefolytatása az ETA baszk szeparatista szervezettel, az azonos neműek házasságának engedélyezése, valamint amnesztia az illegális bevándorlóknak. A 2011. december 20-i parlamenti választásokat pártja elvesztette, azóta az ellenzék vezető ereje. Wikipedia
