Antonio Muñoz (Spanish politician)

In June 2021, mayor Juan Espadas became the PSOE candidate for President of the Regional Government of Andalusia, resigning his local office in December. On 3 January 2022, Muñoz was invested as mayor.

Muñoz is openly gay. As of January 2022, he had been in a relationship with the novelist Fernando Repiso for over twenty years.

Muñoz gained a Master of Business Administration degree from the San Telmo Business School, also in Málaga, and became director general of Tourism Planning for the Regional Government of Andalusia. In 2011, he was elected to Seville's city council as sixth on the PSOE's list, and became an assistant spokesman for the party group. As the councillor for Urban Space, Culture and Tourism, he worked to attract events to Seville including the Goya Awards, the Michelin Awards, the MTV Europe Music Awards and a visit by Barack Obama.

Born in La Rinconada, Province of Seville, Muñoz relocated to Barcelona at the age of 3 due to his father's construction work. His father was then transferred back to Andalusia, taking the family to Fuengirola; he had a brief time back in La Rinconada due to his mother's illness. He graduated in Economic and Business Sciences from the University of Málaga, where he began to affiliate with left-wing politics, joining the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in 1983. He was elected the same year to the city council in La Rinconada, where he remained for eight years.
