About Juan Carlos Girauta

  • Juan Carlos Girauta (born 12 March 1961) is a Spanish politician serving as Member of the Congress of Deputies since 2016 and chair of the Committee on Defence since 2019.
  • Previously, he has served as Member of the European Parliament from 2014 to 2016, representing Spain for the Citizens political party.A former PSC member, Girauta later joined the PP and became a prolific contributor to conservative journalism from his Libertad Digital column, before becoming a Citizens member and candidate in the 2014 European election.
  • For years he lent support to the conspiracy theory about the authorship of the 11-M Madrid train bombings in 2004.During his long tenure as Libertad Digital columnist and COPE debater, Girauta expressed strong sympathies for right-wing Zionism (to the point of calling then-president Zapatero an anti-Semite) and lent credibility to the now discredited book by Victor Farías dismissing Socialist politician Salvador Allende as a racist and a Social Darwinist, without clarifying that the quotations about genetic determinism in Allende's doctoral dissertation were themselves quotations from other authors (mostly Cesare Lombroso) or the fact that Allende was highly critical of these conclusions in his thesis, which was later published as a rebuttal to Farías' position.
  • Farías was later sued for this but Girauta never retracted his statements. He has been described as representative of the hardline right-wing faction in Cs.
