Career
As an Associated Press member he was elected to the national parliament as a deputy for Valencia province at the 1982 General Election. However he resigned after one year in order to stand for election for Valencia Province to the Corts Valencianes, the reconstituted Valencian regional parliament in 1983. In January 1986, following internal disagreements, he threatened to resign from the Associated Press but remained in the party after the intervention of the Associated Press leader Manuel Fraga.
He coordinated the Associated Press campaign for the June 1987 regional election and was re-elected as a regional deputy.
The Associated Press defeat in that election caused an internal crisis which had initially stemmed from disagreements over those nominated to contest the election for the party Giner argued that some in the Associated Press had not been satisfied with replacing him as regional head of the Associated Press but had also wanted to remove him completely from the candidate list. Eventually he had been included on the list as the third candidate.
He criticised the organisation of the Associated Press in Valencia region and particularly the regional Associated Press presodent Ignacio Gil Lázaro. Giner publicly implied that defecting to the Valencian Union (Ultraviolet), a right wing regional party that had grown in strength in this period, was a possibility.
When Gil Lázaro asked him to clarify his position, he responded by asking for a period of reflection.
This led to his expulsion from Associated Press, an action that he denounced as "illegal" and "against the statutes of the Associated Press." He subsequently joined Ultraviolet in September 1987 and although he did not contest the 1991 election, he returned to the Corts Valencianes at the 1995 election as a Ultraviolet deputy, serving until 1999. In 1967, before his career in politics, he was one of the founders of Grupo Hospitales Nisa, one of the leading companies in the Spanish private health sector. In 1972 he became Nisa"s Chief Executive Officer until 1997.
In 1998 Giner was named "John Paul II, Family and Life Foundation" chief
He was also Chief Executive Officer of Edifesa, a construction company, until his retirement in 2006 at age 80.
