He worked as a predoctoral and post-doctoral researcher for the University of Cantabria (1996–2001), and as a lecturer for the Charles III University of Madrid (UC3M; 2001–2003).[5] Following a spell as director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Foundation Carolina (2003–2004), he has also worked as lecturer at the Universidad CEU San Pablo, the Rey Juan Carlos University and the Universidad Pontificia Comillas.[6][7][8] Lassalle married Meritxell Batet in August 2005,[9] from whom he divorced in 2016.[10][11] A member of the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th terms of the Congress of Deputies in representation of Cantabria, elected within the People's Party (PP) lists, he renounced to his seat at the Lower House of the Spanish parliament in December 2016.[12] He was replaced then by Diego Movellán.[12]

Lassalle served as Secretary of State for Culture (2011–2016).
