Miguel Ángel Moratinos Cuyaubé is a Spanish diplomat and politician who attended the 2009 Bilderberg meeting.
Education
Born in 1951, Moratinos graduated in Law and Political Sciences at the University Complutense in Madrid, and then in Diplomatic Studies at the Diplomatic School of Spain.[1]
Career
He entered a diplomatic career working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1974 to 1979 as director for relations with Eastern Europe. He was then assigned to the Spanish Embassy in Yugoslavia until 1984, from where he moved to Morocco until 1987, at which time he was appointed deputy director general for North Africa. In 1991, he directed the Institute for Cooperation with the Arab World, becoming a specialist in the Middle East, respected by both Arabs and Israelis, being appointed to the General Directorate of Foreign Policy for Africa and the Middle East in 1993 and, after the Partido Polular government, ambassador to Israel in 1996. He left that same year, when the European Union appointed him the high representation in the Arab-Israeli peace process, a position he would hold until 2003.
Activities
In September 2006, he appeared before the European Parliament's committee investigating CIA activity in Europe, to be questioned about government official's knowledge of CIA rendition flights from Europe and the existence of illegal detention centres where interrogations are alleged to have taken place.

In 2009, Moratinos sent a confidential note to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warning that Spanish public opinion could turn anti-American if Spain disclosed a study on nuclear contamination caused by the 1966 Palomares B-52 crash, according to a note contained in the WikiLeaks documents and published at the time by the newspaper El País.[3]
