Adolfo Díaz-Ambrona Bardají

Díaz-Ambrona founded the branch of the People's Alliance (AP) in Extremadura. In the first regional election in 1983, the People's Coalition of AP, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and Liberal Party (PL) came second, with Juan Carlos Rodríguez Ibarra of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) becoming the first president. He also served in the Senate, representing the Assembly of Extremadura, from 1986 to 1987.^[1]

In March 1987, Díaz-Ambrona tabled a motion of no confidence in Ibarra. A cited reason was alleged irregularities in the awarding of contracts for a motorway between Trujillo and Guadalupe. The motion failed with 16 votes for (all from his parliamentary group), 36 against and 12 abstentions.^[2] In the June election, he was the again runner-up to Ibarra.^[1]

After the end of his second term in 1991, Díaz-Ambrona returned to the legal profession. He and his wife Marisol García Cancho had six children.^[1]

He died of a pulmonary disease on 27 July 2012, aged 69.^[1] The following day, he was buried in the family mausoleum in Badajoz's San Juan cemetery, in a ceremony attended by local and regional politicians.^[3]
