Reign of Isabella II and Prime Minister
In the elections of June 30, 1834, he was elected member of parliament ( Congreso de los Diputados ) for the first time. In the following years he was a member of parliament until September 3, 1844 as a representative of the constituencies of Alicante , Albacete , Madrid , Valencia , Barcelona , La Coruña , Málaga , Cáceres , Cádiz and Toledo .

In 1835 he was also a member of the circle preparing for the revolt of Valencia and was then a member of the government junta as vice-president for a short time. On September 11, 1836, he was appointed Minister of the Interior ( Ministro de Gobernación ) in the cabinet of José María Calatrava , to which he was a member until March 27, 1837.
On May 9, 1843 he was finally appointed Prime Minister of Spain ( Presidente del Gobierno ) for the first time .
