Biography

Born in Ceuta, Guerrero was married and the father of three children as of June 2020. He graduated in medicine and surgery from the University of Granada.^[2]

In 2019, Guerrero was named Minister of Health in the government of Mayor-President of Ceuta Juan Jesús Vivas of the People's Party (PP).^[3] He resigned in January 2021 after a controversy over him receiving the COVID-19 vaccine before it was publicly available.^[4] He said that he had been recommended to take the vaccine by others in his team, due to his frequent visits to hospitals and his heart condition, hypertension and diabetes.^[5] He was also scrutinised during his ministry for continuing to practice medicine privately, and for a purchase of face masks at a far above average price.^[3]

Guerrero initiated a bid for the presidency of the People's Party of Ceuta but soon withdrew,^[3] instead announcing in May 2022 that he would form a new party for the Assembly of Ceuta elections in twelve months' time.^[6] In June, Avanza Ceuta was launched; local newspaper El Pueblo de Ceuta placed it on the centre right.^[7]

In January 2023, Guerrero was arrested and held on remand for alleged sexual abuse of unaccompanied migrant children in Ceuta.^[8]^[9]
