• Eurogroup.Donohoe and Gramegna: the ministers who threaten Calviño's career
  • Calviño.The Government tries not to lose support three days after the vote

Defined by himself as the "diplomatic challenge" that would mark a generation, Paschal Donohoe, the Irish Finance Minister who has robbed Nadia Calviño of the Eurogroup presidency, has been in charge of preparing the Republic of Ireland to face Brexit . Any scenario, from the soft that Theresa May raised to the hardest that Boris Johnson threatened. While Prime Minister Leo Varadkar was waging the political battle to prevent past wounds from reopening in the territory, he was doing the numbers.

Early talent within the Fine Gael, Donohoe was just 1,800 votes away from entering the shortlist that could have led him to be the youngest taoiseach in history. At 45 years old, and aware that his time will come within Irish politics - where he has already been Minister of Finance and Secretary of State for Europe - he is ready to make the leap to Brussels. In fact, and despite coming from the conservative Christian Democrat party , he is able to adapt to circumstances, as has been demonstrated in his country, a place where he has not hesitated to raise taxes to raise public spending that will lead to the regeneration of the country after the 2008 crisis.

This, translated into the Brexit panorama, which was consummated on paper in January of this same year but which will not be effective until the end of the transition period in early 2021, implies that Donohoe has prioritized, for example, social aid within the plan. of contingency planned for the coming years. Prior to his jump into Irish politics, he spent six years in the private sector, where he led the Marketing and Sales department at Procter & Gamble .

Despite the fact that Calviño started on paper with an advantage over his competitors , and just the fact of nominating him for such an important position indicated Varadkar's confidence in his finance minister. Just a few years older than him, and with his image worn by the last years, he is aware that he is one of the names of the future for Fine Gael , especially now that they are immersed in a coalition government with Fianna Fáil , the other great political force of the country.

Ireland, which is experiencing a period of accelerated modernization during the last decade, not only politically but also socially and religiously, is currently demanding cross-sectional profiles such as Donohoe's, especially now that ghosts of the past like the New IRA they call to live, once again, to the reunification of the territory.
