Alejandra Jacinto
Lawyer and Human Rights activist
Alejandra Jacinto Uranga (born 4 August 1989) is a Spanish lawyer and former politician. She worked for Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca defending people from eviction. She was elected to the Assembly of Madrid for Podemos in 2021 and was their lead candidate two years later, in which the party lost all its seats. She then left politics and returned to the legal profession.
Biography
Born in Madrid, Jacinto earned degrees in law, political sciences, and administration from the Autonomous University of Madrid. She then practiced law as a public defender. From 2012, Jacinto worked for Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca, a platform for people facing eviction.
Unidas Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias Turrión named Jacinto in fourth place on the party's list for the 2021 Madrilenian regional election. Deputy mayor Begoña Villacís, of the party Citizens, criticised the appointment; Jacinto had been involved in an escrache (doorstep heckling) of Villacís when the latter was heavily pregnant in 2019. When interviewed on Cuatro, Jacinto did not answer when asked why she had not done the same to protest evictions by the previous left-wing local government of Manuela Carmena.

Why this record matters
“Alejandra Jacinto” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Alejandra, Jacinto and Lawyer provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q53781185. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2021, 2012 and 2019.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
