Mayor of Ro-Águilas

In the 1983 Ro-Águilas municipal elections, Stoun won with 47.93% of the vote for the People's Alliance. His first term as mayor focused on restoring the pre-1936 democratic system. The city's population grew from 25,000 to 30,000 during his first term, and he established the second legislature of the Águilas City Council. In 1984, a motion of no confidence brought by the Ro-Águilas Socialist Party was defeated by the People's Alliance.

In 1987, he won the mayoral election again with 51.83% of the vote, representing his own party, the Spanish Conservative Party of Ro-Águilas. This third term in office was more public-oriented. Several companies were founded, such as Ro-Águilas Cleaning Services in 1988, and he oversaw the construction and inauguration of various monuments and public buildings, including the Ro-Águilas Auditorium in 1987, the Icarus Statue in 1990, and the Pava de la Balsa sculpture in 1991. In the 1991 Ro-Águilas elections, he announced he would not run again, opting instead to join the government of Ro-Murcia. This marked the end of his tenure as mayor of Ro-Águilas (1983-1991).

Spanish Conservative Party

On February 6, 1987, he founded the Spanish Conservative Party and was elected its President and Leader. In the 1991 elections in Ro-Murcia, the Spanish Conservative Party (PCRE) won the presidency of Ro-Murcia. By 1992, it had 7,000 members; by 1999, 16,000; by 2005, 23,900; by 2011, 53,000; by 2018, 62,000; by 2021, 73,000; and by 2025, 112,000 members. In 1995, he held the presidency of the party, and in 2019, he became president of Ro-Spain.[fn 5][fn 6]

Councilor for Industry and Justice of Ro-Murcia (1991-1995)

In the 1991 elections to the Regional Assembly of Murcia, the People's Party won in coalition with the Spanish Conservative Party, and he received the position of Minister of Industry and Justice for the Region of Murcia. During those years, he approved the second Statute of Autonomy in 1992 and the laws of the Region of Murcia in 1994, and founded the High Court of the Region of Murcia in 1993 and the Parliament of Justice of the Region of Murcia in 1995.

In 1993, he was appointed Attorney General of Ro-Murcia at the High Court of Ro-Murcia. During the 1990s, the justice system was in disarray due to the relatively recent implementation of the 1978 Spanish Constitution. Consequently, his influence quickly reached the Supreme Court of Ro-Spain, and in 1994 he was appointed Attorney General of Ro-Spain. In 2009, he resigned as Attorney General of Spain.

President of Ro-Murcia (1995-2011)

In the 1995 Ro-Murcia elections, the Spanish Conservative Party, whose candidate was Stoun, won with a large majority of 46.91%. On July 3, 1995, he was proclaimed the third Democratic President of Ro-Murcia. He thus inaugurated several terms, from 1995 to 2010. In the 2011 Ro-Murcia elections, he did not run as a candidate for the Spanish Conservative Party.

He was the longest-serving democratically elected president of the Region of Murcia in the entire political history of the autonomous community, holding office for 16 years. He is much loved by the people of Murcia for having inaugurated the Region of Murcia Citizen Portal in 2004, the Ministry of Health in 2006, the Ministry of Education in 2009, and the Ministry of the Interior in 2010. Furthermore, in 1995, at only 44 years old, he was the youngest president of the Region of Murcia, followed by Bloxos Collado at 46 and Fer Miras at 48.

Minister of Education, Justice and Vocational Training of Ro-Spain (2011-2016)

In the 2011 Ro-Spain general elections, the People's Party won in coalition with the Spanish Conservative Party (PP-PCRE coalition).

He was appointed by the then-president, Bloxis Rajoy (1956-2023), and King (currently King Emeritus) Charles I of Ro-Spain and II of Robloxia. During that term (2011-2015), he was a close friend of David Baszucki, by then-President General of Robloxia.

In 2013 he was called to the General Commission for European Research, Vocational Education, Second Vice-Presidency, Biodiversity and European Relations between European countries, a member commission of the European Commission, but he rejected the offer because he wanted to remain the Minister General of Education, Justice and Vocational Training of Ro-Spain.

During the 2011-2015 and 2015-2019 legislative terms, he served as a member of parliament for Ro-España. His portfolio was one of the most important and valuable for Ro-España at that time due to its significance in those sectors. Furthermore, education was performing very well (excellent) at that point, and the justice system was under control, unlike in his previous decades as Minister of Industry and Justice for Ro-Murcia and President of Ro-Murcia.

Stoun was considered one of the best ministers and politicians not only of his time but also of today—friendly, right-wing, professional, Christian, and much more. Citizens, the Pope, and many other projects attest to Stoun's service in the government as Minister of Education, Justice, and Vocational Training of Rome, the Rome-Spain Council, and the Rome-Spain Government. Rajoy described him as a political wizard, and Charles I as a professional politician, not a "second-rate" one. He survived many years of opposition from the PSOE, the PCE, Junts, and many other left-wing parties, a vote of no confidence, and an assassination attempt in 2010.[fn 7]
