SPAIN / By Cruz Ramiro

The actor Antonio de la Torre closes the Sumar list in the province of Malaga, headed by Toni Valero, coordinator of IU Andalucía. De la Torre (Málaga, 1968) will be present in Sumar's candidacy for the Congress of Deputies, although he will do so symbolically, in last place, so it is difficult for him to achieve representation.

This Tuesday the complete lists of each circumscription have been published, which incorporate curious names, such as that of De la Torre in Malaga, that of judge José Castro, who investigated the Nóos case, in the Balearic Islands, or the writer Remedios Zafra in Madrid.

De la Torre, star of films such as El Reino, La trenchera infinita, May God forgive us or Caníbal, has a degree in Journalism and came to work on Canal Sur Radio and Canal Sur Televisión, presenting sports news. The first role he played in the cinema was in The worst years of our lives (1994) and success came on television with Padre coraje (2002)..

He has been nominated for the Goya Awards fourteen times, becoming the Spanish act with the highest number of nominations, and has won them twice: in 2006 for Azuloscurocasinegro and in 2019 with El Reino.

De la Torre has never hidden his left-wing ideological orientation and on numerous occasions he has spoken publicly to support politicians such as Ada Colau (Barcelona en Comú) or Yolanda Díaz, the promoter of the Sumar confluence, which now has the actor in his new political project.
