Early life

He became a member of the Spanish Socialist Worker's Party (PSOE) in 1974.[2] Lissavetzky, who worked as associate professor of Chemistry in the UCM, became a researcher of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in 1979.[3]
He was placed 38th in the PSOE's list of candidates for the first elections to the Assembly of Madrid,[4] and became regional MP. He renovated his seat in the Assembly of Madrid in the 1987, 1991, 1995, 1999 elections. He was also Senator designate by the regional parliament, while also holding the position of Spokesperson of the PSOE in the regional chamber.[5]
He was appointed regional minister of Education and Youth in the cabinet of Joaquín Leguina in 1985, replacing Manuel de la Rocha Rubí. The office was renamed to regional minister of Education, Youth and Sports in 1991. The Charles III University of Madrid was opened during his mandate (1989),[3] as well as the stadium of La Peineta (1994).[6]
After the arrival of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero to the presidency of the Government of Spain, Lissavetzky was appointed as Secretary of State for the Sport on 20 April 2004.[6]
He was the first candidate in the PSOE's list for the 2011 municipal election in Madrid (and subsequently proposed PSOE candidate to the Mayorship), becoming the leader of the opposition in the City Council for the 2011–2015 period.
