description José María Aznar Overview
José María Aznar served as Prime Minister of Spain from 1996 to 2004, leading the center-right People's Party (Partido Popular). His tenure was marked by Spain's economic growth and his alignment with United States foreign policy, particularly his support for the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, despite significant domestic opposition. This stance, along with his government's handling of the 2004 Madrid train bombings, contributed to his party's electoral defeat that same year. After leaving office, Aznar remained an influential figure in conservative politics both in Spain and internationally.
