Early life and career

Borrell was born on 24 April 1947 in the village of La Pobla de Segur, province of Lleida. He also grew up in the village, where his father owned a small bakery.^[1] His grandfather on his father's side, migrant to Argentina, had managed a food shop in Mendoza, returning to Spain when the father of Borrell was 8 years old.^[2]

His very basic education was supplemented by reading, but he was able to complete his secondary education in Lleida. He went to Barcelona to study industrial accounting, but left after a year in 1965 to go and study aeronautical engineering at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), graduating in 1969. During this time he also began to study economic sciences at the Complutense University.

Borrell holds a Master's Degree in Operational Research from Stanford University in Palo Alto (California, USA), a Master's degree in Energy Economics from the French Institute of Petroleum in Paris (France), a PhD in Economics from the Complutense University of Madrid in Madrid (Spain) and is professor on leave of Business Mathematics. He worked for CEPSA for seven years. In the summer of 1969 Borrell stayed at a kibbutz in Israel, where he met his future French wife Carolina Mayeur, from whom he is now divorced. In 1975 he worked in Madrid as an engineer for the state petroleum company Campsa.

Political career

Career in national politics

Borrell, who joined the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in 1975,^[3]^[4] started his political activity in the Socialist Grouping of Madrid-North along Luis Solana and Luis Carlos Croissier.^[5] He presented as the number 5 in the PSOE list for the 1979 municipal election in Majadahonda,^[6] becoming city councillor. Borrell, who also became a member of the 1979−1983 corporation of the Provincial Deputation of Madrid, managed the Financial Department of the provincial government body in the pre-autonomic period.^[7]^[8]

In 1982 the new PSOE government of Felipe González appointed him to a post within the Ministry of Economy with responsibility for fiscal policy. In 1986 he was elected to the Congress of Deputies representing Barcelona and remained an MP until 2004.

In 1998 Borrell ran against PSOE's General Secretary Joaquin Almunia in a primary election intended to determine who the party would nominate as its prime ministerial candidate in the 2000 General Elections. In May 1999, a fraud investigation was launched into two officials who, several years earlier, Borrell had appointed to senior posts in the finance ministry. Though not involved in the inquiry into property purchases, Borrell resigned, saying he did not want the affair to damage his party’s chances in the upcoming local and general elections.^[9] Also, he had to publicly deny rumors that he was a homosexual, while asserting his respect for homosexuals.^[10]

In 2001, Borrell was appointed the Spanish parliament’s representative on the Convention on the Future of Europe.^[11]

Member of the European Parliament, 2004–2009

In 2004 Prime Minister and PSOE's General Secretary José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero proposed Borrell to lead the Socialist Ticket in the 2004 European elections, managing to win the elections by a narrow margin.

Elected for the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), Borrell sat with the Party of European Socialists group, and served as leader of the Spanish delegation.

In the presidential vote, out of 700 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) he received an absolute majority with 388 votes at the first ballot. The other two candidates were the Polish Liberal Bronisław Geremek (208 votes) and the French communist Francis Wurtz (51 votes).^[12] He was the first newly elected MEP to hold the post since direct elections were held in 1979.^[13] As part of a deal with the conservative faction in the parliament, the EPP, he was succeeded as president of the parliament by the German conservative politician Hans-Gert Pöttering in the second part of the five-year term.^[14]

In his capacity as President, Borrell also chaired the Parliament's temporary committee on policy challenges and budgetary means of the enlarged Union 2007-2013. From 2007 until leaving the Parliament in 2009,^[15] he served as chairman of the Committee on Development. In addition to his committee assignments, he was a member of the Parliament's delegation to the ACP–EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly.

Borrell was nominated President of the European University Institute on 12 December 2008, and assumed this position in January 2010. In 2012, he was forced to resign in the face of allegations of a conflict of interest.^[16]

In 2012, the University of Lleida appointed Borrell to a professorship of competition and regional development sponsored by energy company Repsol.^[17] He also held the Jean Monnet Chair at the Institute of International Studies at Complutense University of Madrid.

In 2017, Borrell made a political comeback as one of the most outspoken opponents of Catalan secessionism, leading a large march in Barcelona in October of that year.^[18]
