Pablo Echenique Robba (born 28 August 1978) is an Argentine-born Spanish physicist and politician. As a scientist, he holds a position at the Spanish National Research Council in Zaragoza (CSIC).
He came to Spain aged 13 to live in Zaragoza. He had Spinal muscular atrophy. Echenique was elected a member of the Congress of Deputies in the April 2019 Spanish general election along with the left-wing political party Podemos. Previously, Echenique was one of the five MEPs elected by Podemos in the 2014 European Parliament election, and was a member of the Aragonese Corts between 2015 and 2017.
In October 2020, he was fined â¬11,040 for the irregular employment of his assistant. In November 2020, he was fined â¬80,000 for saying that a man who was murdered in 1985 was a rapist. The Supreme Court subsequently annulled this conviction after concluding that he did not make a direct accusation against the plaintiff's brother, but rather expressed a show of solidarity with his political colleague.
