Ángel Francisco Carromero Barrios is the secretary general of the Madrid regional branch of the Spanish People’s Party’s youth organisation Nuevas Generaciones. He served a four-year prison sentence in Spain after being falsely accused of the involuntary manslaughter of Cuban dissidents Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero. In 2023, a ruling by the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights (IACHR), an autonomous organ of the Organization of American States, held the Cuban state responsible for the murder of Oswaldo Payá.
