Biography

Born in the Alicante municipality of Orihuela (San Bartolomé) on October 16, 1975. She is a civil servant of the City Council of Orihuela (Alicante). She began her political career as a member of the People's Party of the Valencian Community (Spanish: Partido Popular de la Comunidad Valenciana, PPCV). Some time later she came to occupy her first position of responsibility as First Deputy mayor and Councillor for Urban Planning, Heritage and Media of the City Council of Orihuela, between 2003 and 2007. And from that last year until 2011 she was Councillor for Development, Employment, Industry and Housing.

During that time, at the same time she was presented in the lists of the People's Party to the European Parliament Elections of 2009.[1] After the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, which expanded the composition of the European Parliament by 18 more people, Eva Ortiz became an MEP on December 1, 2011.[2]

A few months earlier, on June 9 of the same year, she had been elected as a deputy in the Corts Valencianes but had to resign on December 9 due to incompatibility. Subsequently, she was part of the PPCV list for the 2014 European Parliament elections.[3][4]

In 2015, she was appointed General Coordinator of the People's Party of the Valencian Community,[5] deputy in the Valencian Parliament for the Province of Alicante[6] and Deputy Spokesperson of the People's Party of the Valencian Community.[7] Since July 2021, she was replaced as Secretary General of the Partido Popular de la Comunidad Valenciana by María José Català[8] and since September 2021 she was also replaced as a PP trustee in Les Corts by María José Català.[7]
