The victory of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in the general elections in 1982 led him to the post of Ministerial Director in the Ministry of Public Administration, where he worked between 1982 and 1987. At this time he also took part in the drafting of the national constitution of Asturias .

Since the 1980s he has been professor of public law at the University of León , where, among other things , he had to examine the master's thesis by José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero on the state constitution of Castilla-León .
