Professional career

A major milestone in his career was the co-founding of Libertad Digital and esRadio in 2000, media projects that positioned him at the centre of a right-leaning communications network in Spain. He has remained associated with both the digital platform and the radio station since their creation.
From 2003 to 2009, he presented La mañana de la COPE, a morning radio programme on the Cadena COPE. This period consolidated his national prominence as a political commentator and radio host.
Since 2009, he has been the **director and host of Es la mañana de Federico on esRadio**. The programme has continued to be one of his main professional platforms and the main source of his ongoing public visibility.
Alongside broadcasting, he has also been associated with editorial and opinion journalism through the broader Libertad Digital media environment. His career has therefore combined radio, commentary and digital media rather than party politics or elected office.
