Lorenzo Olarte Cullen

Lorenzo Olarte Cullen's public career belongs to the autonomous period of the Canary Islands. The Canary Islands Government identifies him as president of the regional executive from 1988 to 1991, regional vice-president from 1987 to 1988 and again from 1995 to 1999, and president of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria from 1974 to 1979.

His appointment as president of the Canary Islands Government was formalised by Royal Decree 1592/1988, dated 28 December, published in the Spanish Official State Gazette on 3 January 1989. The Parliament of the Canary Islands also records him as a member for Gran Canaria in the fourth legislature, in the Coalición Canaria parliamentary group.

This profile should be read as an institutional biography of a major figure in recent Canarian politics. The consulted sources support his offices and periods, but they do not justify turning broad assessments about modernisation or political consensus into biographical facts without a specific source.
