The politician José Bono, president of Castilla-La Mancha and later minister and president of the Congress of Deputies, was born in Salobre on 14 December 1950. A PSOE militant, he presided over the region for six consecutive terms (1983-2004), was Minister of Defence (2004-2006) and president of the Congress (2008-2011). In 2000 he lost the PSOE's general secretaryship to José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero by just nine votes.
