José Antonio Rodríguez Salas is a Spanish politician from The Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE). He is currently the Mayor of Jun, a town from Granada, and was one of the candidates running for the first primary elections held in Andalusia by the PSOE in 2013.

Career

He was Deputy Mayor in June from 1991 to 2005. In 2005 he was elected Mayor of Jun in a council plennary session. He later validated this position in the town elections of 2007, 2011 and 2015. In 2013 he announced his candidacy as Secretary-General for the first primary elections held by The Andalusian Socialist Party.[1][2]

Positions held

Twitter Town Project

He is currently working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and its Laboratory for Social Machines, directed by Deb Roy, in an ambitious project that aims to study Jun’s open government through the social network Twitter.[3] The ultimate goal is to extrapolate this initiative to several North American cities,[4] as explained in an article on Medium.[5][6] In this article, the project directors, Deb Roy and William Powers, explain the new concept of mutual visibility between the citizens and the administration, which implies the empowerment of civil servants in what Rodríguez Salas calls "Society of the Minute".[7][8] Citizens ask politicians[9] and employees direct questions and await quick answers.[10][11][12]
