José Ignacio Ramón Paliza Nouel (born Santo Domingo, 1 September 1981) is a politician and lawyer from the Dominican Republic. He was elected with just 28 years as a deputy to the current legislature (2010-2016), and thus, the youngest member of the Congress of the Dominican Republic.[2]

In 2003, he earned a doctorate in Law (Magna Cum Laude), at Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE); he studied International Studies of Law, Business and Public Policy, and Public Finance Management, at Georgetown, Pennsylvania and Harvard, respectively..[2]

Paliza Nouel is the son of businessman and honorary consul of Spain in Puerto Plata, Juan Ignacio Paliza García,[3] and nephew of entrepreneurs José Manuel Paliza and Elena Viyella de Paliza. His grandfather was a Spanish immigrant who was dedicated to work in the coffee industry upon his arrival to the country.[4]

His mother, Grace Malvina Nouel, was born in Miami, Florida, during the exile of her family because of the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo; she is the daughter of José María Nouel Simpson (son of lawyer and minister of the Interior José María Nouel Bobadilla [son of historian, lawyer and legislator Carlos Rafael Nouel Pierret and brother of archbishop and president of the Dominican Republic Adolfo Alejandro Nouel Bobadilla], and Grace Simpson Neumann, the daughter of Thomas Simpson, the United States consul in Puerto Plata), and Ligia Malvina Henríquez Mon. On his mother's side, he descends from President Tomás Bobadilla, the first ruler of the Dominican Republic; Paliza Nouel is great-grandnephew of monsignor Adolfo Alejandro Nouel.

In his 2010 sworn statement of assets, Paliza stated that he had a negative equity.[1]

In August 2014, along with more than thirty deputies defectors he entered into the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM), following a split in the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD).[5]
