Biography
Moreno Zuleta was born into a noble family in Jerez de la Frontera. He studied economics and law at the University of Deusto, where he also obtained a doctorate. A member of the Conservative Party, he was first elected to the Congress of Deputies in 1907 for the constituency of Cádiz. He served as a deputy there until 1921, when he took a seat in the Senate.
At the wish of Miguel Primo de Rivera, Moreno Zuleta joined the Patriotic Union in 1926. The following year, he became a member of the National Assembly. In 1928, he was appointed Minister of National Economy in Primo de Rivera's dictatorship; he held this office until January 1930, when he was appointed Minister of the Treasury. He resigned shortly after Primo de Rivera's resignation on 28 January.
With the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931, Moreno Zuleta joined King Alfonso XIII in exile in Rome, where he served as head of the royal house from 1933. During the Spanish Civil War, he was the unofficial representative of the nationalist faction in the south of France. During the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, Moreno Zuleta was the representative of Don Juan. He died in Madrid in 1963.[2]
