Biography Burgos comes from a Catalan family and is a native of Barcelona. He studied an economics degree at the University of Barcelona. He was originally a member of the Catalan nationalist Convergència i Unió movement but became active in the People's Party of Catalonia and was a spokesman for the party in the region of El Prat de Llobregat where he was elected as a councilor.
