The General Assembly of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) elected Dr. Bernarda Jimenez, a Dominican immigrant, to the post of secretary general for immigrant affairs. This is the first time that an immigrant has held an executive position in a Spanish political party. She was presented to the press by vice secretary general of the PSOE, Jose Blanco. Blanco said that the election of Jimenez showed that the PSOE was clearly in favor of integration and immigrants' rights. Dr. Jimenez, who was born in Moca, Espaillat province 58 years ago, has worked for immigrant rights in Spain since arriving there 24 years ago. She was a fiery opponent of the immigration policies of the Popular Party, and just four months ago requested membership in the PSOE, the ruling political party.
