Likewise, García Tejerina has indicated that Iranzo, from his beginnings as a young pastor, “knew how to defend the interests of Aragonese and Spanish farmers and farmers, both nationally and Europeanly.” Among other responsibilities, he was part of the National Executive Committee of COAG, he was State Coordinator of the Area of Agricultural Youth of COAG, member of the Executive Commission of UAGA-COAG Aragón, and President of the Agricultural Cooperative of Andorra. “José Luis was more than 20 years representing the rural environment and the primary sector, and knew how to value the great importance they have and deserve agriculture and livestock,” he added.
In addition, the minister has valued Iranzo’s deep knowledge of the challenges facing the sector and his “tireless defense” of the social and professional model of agriculture and extensive sheep farming, nationally and internationally
According to the minister, Iranzo “knew that this type of livestock is fundamental for the times in which we live and for the defense and development of rural territories”
Finally, García Tejerina has recognized the work that Iranzo has developed for the social recognition of herding, the quality of its products and the environmental and social services it offers to the territory and society. In short, “José Luis will always be remembered for his work, which day after day he performed with effort and dedication, and for his solidarity with his teammates.”
