Biography edit
Born in 1950 in Tudela, Navarre, he obtained a degree in Road, Channel and Port Engineering and became a civil servant.[1]
He joined the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in 1976.[2] He served as Secretary of State of Public Administration during the González Governments between 1986 and 1991, when he replaced Joaquín Leguina as Secretary-General of the Madrilenian Socialist Federation (FSM). In the context of the internecine strifes within the FSM, Serrano, despite actually having been proposed to the post by the guerristas,[3] distanced himself from the guerrista chief José Acosta, and had to endure tensions coming from the guerrista camp,[4][5] having been ultimately identified as a member of the renovadores in the FSM.[6]
He ran 2nd in the PSOE list for the 1991 Madrilenian regional election,[7] and became a member of the 3rd term of the Assembly of Madrid. He also became a Senator, designated by the regional legislature.[8][9] Tired of the continuous infighting in the FSM, Serrano gave up in 1994.[10] He was replaced as Secretary-General of the organization by the renovador Jaime Lissavetzky. He also resigned to his seat in the regional legislature.
Following his exit from Madrilenian politics, he served as Director-General of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional.[11] He later worked as managing director for Urban Transport of Seville (Tussam) and as CEO and director for Infrastructure Management of Andalusia (GIASA).[2][1] Counselor of Labor and Immigration in the Spanish Embassy to the United Kingdom, Serrano was appointed by the Council of Ministers as President of Renfe in May 2009.[1] He left the post in late 2011 with the change of government, as Mariano Rajoy became prime minister.[12]
