Manuel Pimentel reflects on his resignation from Spanish government
Former Spanish Minister Manuel Pimentel has reflected on his departure from politics, noting that power can create a false sense of impunity. Pimentel resigned from the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs in 2000 during the administration of José María Aznar, after serving 13 months in office.
His resignation was linked to corruption-related issues, albeit in a collateral capacity. Pimentel, who joined the People's Party in the late 1980s to address unemployment in Andalusia, stated that he realized he would not find happiness in politics. He currently operates as the founder of the Almuzara publishing group.
