Political career
Sánchez Jiménez previously served as mayor of Gavà since 2014.
In 2022, Sánchez Jiménez led negotiations with Spain’s transport associations that resulted in a 1 billion euro ($1.10 billion) support package aimed at defusing the walkout over fuel prices that has caused sporadic goods shortages. In response, Spanish truck drivers announced in March 2022 they would continue their strike "indefinitely."[2]
