César Alierta, the former president of Telefónica, passed away on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, in Zaragoza. He was 78 years old.
Did César Alierta have any children?
Unfortunately there are no available information about César Alierta children. Alierta was personally wed to Ana Cristina Placer, whose passing in 2015 dealt him a severe blow from which he never fully recovered. He looked to his nephew Javier Placer, whom he recruited to head Telefónica’s innovation division, as he was childless.
The family life of the ex-Telefonica chair
Eduardo Zaplana, the opposition Popular Party’s (PP) parliamentary spokesman until the party lost a second consecutive election last month, will be directly accountable to Cesar Alierta, the chairman of Telefonica, the firm announced.
In 2000, Alierta was named chairman with the approval of the PP government in power at the time. According to parliamentary norms, Zaplana must resign from his position in order to accept the private sector employment.
Alierta, who turned 78 in May and is childless and widower, found companionship and love from Isabel, but his close nephews were not keen on a relationship that would develop into anything more and separate them from their uncle, both financially and familially.
