Early life and education

Born on 8 January 1979 in Oviedo,[3] Fernández earned a licentiate degree in Economics at the University of Oviedo (1997–2001).[4] He later obtained an M.A. in Economics and Finance from CEMFI-Bank of Spain (2002–2004) and an Executive MBA from IESE Business School (2010–2012).[4]

Career

Fernández was Secretary-General of the Socialist Youth of Oviedo.[5]

Fernández worked for Madrid-based consulting firm Solchaga Recio & asociados (2005–2014) and lectured at the Charles III University of Madrid (2007–2010).[6][4]

Fernández was included in the 14th position of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) list for the 2014 European Parliament election in Spain,[7] becoming a member of the European Parliament. He ran again for the 2019 European Parliament election in Spain, 16th in the PSOE list,[8] retaining his seat.[9]

As a member of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D) political group, Fernández has since been serving on the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON). In 2020, he also joined the Subcommittee on Tax Matters.[10] In addition to his committee assignments, he is part of the Spinelli Group[11] and the European Parliament Intergroup on Trade Unions.[12]

In July 2019, the S&D group in the European Parliament elected Fernández as the group's spokesperson (coordinator) in the ECON Committee.[13] In this capacity, he is also the parliament's rapporteur on measures to ease capital and accounting burdens on banks to ensure a continued flow of loans to businesses struggling in the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.[14]
