Biography[edit]
A member of the Socialists' Party of Catalonia (PSC-PSOE), Rodríguez served as its Regional Secretary for Baix Llobregat.[2] In the 1983 Spanish local elections, he was elected to the City Council of Gavà, and was appointed Mayor on 7 January 1985 following the resignation of Antonio Rodríguez Aznar. He was re-elected in 1987, 1991, 1995, 1999, and 2003, each time earning an absolute majority. During his tenure the city council maintained a sound budget and strong resources, thanks to industrial and urban development.[3] On 10 June 2005, he resigned and was succeeded by Joaquim Balsera i Garcia.[4] From 2003 to 2007, he was executive vice-president of the Commonwealth of Municipalities of the Barcelona Metropolitan Area.[5]
On 4 August 2010, Rodríguez replaced Carme Figueras following her resignation.[6] In 2011, he was appointed Vice-President of the Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona,[7] a position he held until his retirement in 2015.[8]
Dídac Pestaña Rodríguez died in Gavà on 26 July 2021.[9]
