Alfredo Sánchez Monteseirín, former mayor of Seville, dies at 69

The former mayor of Seville Alfredo Sánchez Monteseirín has died at the age of 69, as confirmed by sources from the PSOE and the mayor of the Andalusian capital, José Luis Sanz, who has published a message on the social network X offering his condolences to family and friends.

Sánchez Monteseirín suffered a stroke in 2023 and several similar episodes since then, which kept him away from political and public life and he was the mayor of Seville who served the longest, from 1999 to 2011, when he handed over the city's baton to Juan Ignacio Zoido (PP).

From his mandate came interventions in the city of Seville such as the Setas de Sevilla, in the city center, the expansion of the bike lane or the Torre Sevilla project.
