Fernando Morán (25 March 1926 – 19 February 2020) was a Spanish diplomat and politician who served as minister of foreign affairs from 1982 to 1985 in the first government of Felipe González. After completing his studies in Madrid, Paris and London, Morán pursued a career as a diplomat. A member of the Group of Salamanca around Enrique Tierno Galván, in 1967 he was a co-founder of the Socialist Party of the Interior,[1] that would become the People's Socialist Party in 1974.
Morán was a career diplomat.[4] He held several diplomatic and consular posts in Buenos Aires, Pretoria and Lisbon.[3] He was also consul general in London under the ambassadorship of Manuel Fraga.[5] Morán also served as general director of Foreign Policy for Africa and Continental Asia.[5]
He turned to politics in 1974, joining Enrique Tierno Galván's opposition group, the Popular Socialist Party,[5][6] and established "Grupo Tierno" in Salamanca during the Franco era.[7] Then he became a member of the Socialist party and its main foreign policy analyst.[8] In 1978 he was elected senator representing the Asturian constituency.[7]
From 1985 to 1987 Morán served as the Spanish representative at the United Nations.[7] In 1987, he became the head of the Socialist party group at the European Parliament.[6] He continued to serve at the parliament for two further terms, and his tenure ended in 1999.[2] During his term he chaired the committee on institutional affairs from 22 July 1994 to 15 January 1997.[2]
During his term as foreign minister Morán was among those who successfully lobbied for entrance of Spain to the European Union.[14][15] In addition, he negotiated Spain's entrance to the Union.[16] In 1984, he also successfully negotiated the Brussels Agreement for Spain.[17] On the other hand, he strongly objected to the continuation of Spain's membership of NATO.[12] As minister, he was one of the most representative members of the line of thought within the Spanish foreign office espousing pro-Arab stances.[18]
Work
Morán was the author of several novels, poetry and books on literary criticism.[6] One of his books, Luz al fondo del túnel, was published in 1999.[19] He also published his biography in 2002 with the title of Palimpsesto: a modo de memorias.[20]
Death
Morán was married and had three children.[3] He died on 19 February 2020 in Madrid.[21]
