Alberto Ullastres

Alberto Ullastres (15 January 1914 – 15 November 2001) was Spain's minister of economy (1957–1965) and ambassador to the European Economic Community (1965–1976) under General Franco. He pushed forward the so-called Stabilization Plan which brought about Spain's transition from economic autarchy to liberalization and internationalization of the national economy, an economic success which has been called the Spanish miracle. Ullastres was part of the so-called "Opusdeistas" – ministers under Franco who were also members of the Opus Dei organisation.
