context_page_description: José Ángel Zubiaur Alegre was a Spanish right-wing politician. Throughout most of his life he remained active as a Carlist militant and held some positions in the regional Navarrese party executive. In the 1970s he left the movement and contributed to birth of a Navarrista party, Unión del Pueblo Navarro. His career climaxed during the Cortes term in 1967–1971, when he strove to liberalize the regime and gained nationwide recognition. In 1948–1951 and 1983–1987 he served also in the regional Navarrese self-government.
context_section_description: The Basque Zubiaur family has been traditionally related to sea fare; its members appear in medieval records of the Biscay Consulate of the Sea and already in the mid-16th century Zubiaur was considered a very distinguished name. Some of the family members grew to well known Spanish naval commanders and in the early modern era the Zubiaurs were among 10 families most represented in the Bilbao town hall; some held also official positions in the Señorío de Vizcaya. The family got very branched; in the early 19th century one arm emerged within ranks of the Basque petty bourgeoisie. Its descendant was José Ángel's grandfather, Vicente Zubiaur Unzaga, married in Bilbao to María Salazar Gochi. The couple had 7 children; the second oldest one and the oldest son was José Ángel's father, Juan José Zubiaur Salazar (1888–1943). He went on with trading business and set up companies on his own; one specialized in sales and maintenance of various tools, accessories and machinery, another was dealing in import and repair of English automobiles. In 1920–1922 he served as member of the Bilbao ayuntamiento.
  In 1890 Zubiaur Salazar married Teresa Alegre Navascués (1893–1975); little is known about her family except that she originated from a Navarrese town of San Martín de Unx. The couple settled in the very centre of Bilbao; they had only one child. At unspecified time, though probably in the late 1920s, Zubiaur Salazar was interned in the psychiatric hospital in Bermeo; in 1926 his wife and son left Bilbao for San Martin de Unx, where Jose Ángel passed most of his childhood; though a Vizcaino by birth, he developed a strong Navarrese identity. In the late 1920s he entered a Marist school in Pamplona, where he obtained bachillerato during the Republic era. In 1934 Zubiaur enrolled at philosophy and letters at the University of Zaragoza. Outbreak of the Civil War interrupted his academic career; he resumed law studies after the war in Madrid and graduated in philosophy and letters and in law.
  In 1947 Zubiaur married María Josefa Carreño Cima (1918–2015). The couple settled in Pamplona though they used to spend much time in Leitza; they had 7 children, the first one born in 1948. Their marriage endured 65 years; when passing away, Zubiaur had 23 grandchildren. Two of Zubiaur's sons became public figures. The oldest one, José Ángel Zubiaur Carreño, held high administrative and economic offices in the Navarrese self-government and represented Navarre in various central EU bodies; a longtime UPN politician, he left the party in 2013 and assumed more right-wing positions. Francisco Javier Zubiaur Carreño held high jobs related to Navarrese culture and is professor in history of art, author of books related to painting, film and museology; politically he tends to a more progressist stand. Among other notable relatives, Zubiaur's paternal uncle Román Zubiaur Salazar was a fairly popular comic actor, in the early 1920s known as a Basque stage character "Martinchú Perugorría".
