Antes de irme

"I want to make the most of the time I have left to set down some reflections. These are the thoughts of someone who has lived life intensely and dedicated the last fifty years to public service, guided by a clear sense of purpose and firm principles: honesty, hard work to improve people’s lives, and a defiant stance against injustice, corruption, and the arrogant [...] and I want this book to serve as a kind of guide for young people." At the age of eighty-four, Miguel Ángel Revilla takes stock of a life devoted to politics and public service. With his direct, accessible, and outspoken style, he looks back on his career and shares his perspective on contemporary Spain—covering everything from corruption and the current political landscape to the rise of new economic and technological powers. He recalls the presidents and major political figures he has known personally and recounts some of the most striking episodes of recent years, including the legal case involving the King Emeritus. *Before I Go* (*Antes de irme*) offers a look at Spain today through the lens of a lifetime’s experience, while also sharing the convictions, lessons, and values ​​that the author wishes to pass on to new generations.
