Biography


Prior to his career in politics, Rivero was a primary school teacher; he received his diploma from the University of La Laguna.[1] In the 1979 regional elections, the first such elections under the Spanish Constitution of 1978, Rivero was elected as the mayor of El Sauzal, a position he held until 1997.[2][1] Rivero initially represented the Union of the Democratic Centre, but in 1983 he switched to the Agrupación Tinerfeña de Independientes, a group that eventually formed part of the Canarian Coalition.[3]


Rivero was also a member of the Cabildo de Tenerife before moving into national politics in 1996.[3] At the 1996 general election, Rivero was elected to the Congress of Deputies as the representative of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife electoral district - he was subsequently re-elected at the 2000 and 2004 general elections.[3] He chaired the parliamentary committee investigating the 2004 Madrid train bombings.[4]


In February 2007, Rivero was selected as the Canarian Coalition's candidate for President of the Canary Islands at the 2007 regional elections.[5] The coalition received the third-highest share of the vote, 23.36%, but received the second highest number of delegates with 19.[6] Rivero's party formed a coalition with the third-place People's Party, which allowed him to be installed as President on 13 July 2007.[7]
