Biography

Born in Cáceres, Polo qualified in Forestry from the Polytechnic University of Madrid and possesses a Master of Business Administration from the EOI Business School. [3] He was uninvolved in politics until 2014, when he joined Citizens due to his admiration of party leader Albert Rivera's liberal policies. [3] The following year, he led the party in his hometown's city council elections, and was elected. [3]

In early 2019, he was the only candidate to lead Citizens in May's Extremaduran elections, as the party's only regional legislator, Victoria Domínguez, declined to stand. [3] They came third, with seven seats and 11.3% of votes. [4]

Polo resigned from his party and his seat in September 2020, due to differences in opinion with the party's national leadership under Rivera's successor, Inés Arrimadas. [5] In November, he was hired as Head of Institutional Relations for Infinity Lithium, an Australian corporation intending to mine for lithium near Cáceres. [6]
