- Negotiation.ERC endorses the agreement: Pedro Sánchez accepts a referendum in which only the Catalans decide
- Investiture: Revilla's party will vote 'no' on the investiture of Pedro Sánchez after knowing the PSOE and ERC agreement
With the investiture already on track and the prospect of a budding government, the PSOE prepares for a cabinet with many changes in its appearance, motivated by the coalition with United We can but also by the intention of Pedro Sánchez to give a boost to the action policy to compensate for the many months that the Socialist Executive - in office since April 28 - has spent fallow and the need to overshadow the investiture agreements signed with the PNV and ERC and the concessions on a new territorial model.
If, as expected, Sánchez obtains sufficient votes for the next January 7 Congress to elect the President of the Government, the Executive will immediately turn to the presentation of the expenditure ceiling and Budgets and the development of an important legislative package - assignment of the labor reform, a new rise in the Minimum Interprofessional Salary , euthanasia law - that gives meaning to the enormous cost that the PSOE has decided to continue in La Moncloa.
That is why the new Government will incorporate many more novelties than originally expected. This is the feeling unless the PSOE travels. Sanchez is finalizing the scope of these internal changes although not all decisions are made.
Carmen Calvo will remain in the vice presidency with a much more depleted role due to the obligation to share her hierarchical position with Pablo Iglesias - social president - and Nadia Calviño - economic president - but her competencies (she also loses the Ministry of Equality, which Irene Montero will foreseeably lead) ) are pending redefinition to maintain its weight in the new Executive. Like Calvo, José Luis Ábalos is considered a fixture and, according to party sources, will continue to lead Development. The same happens with Fernando Grande-Marlaska in Interior and with María Jesús Montero in the Treasury who, in addition, according to socialist sources, will be the new spokesperson for the Executive. Its good harmony with United We can, its political and communication capacity encumb it to the spokesperson. Another person with an insured chair is responsible for Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera.
But the future of the rest of socialist ministers is more uncertain. The current head of Education and government spokesperson, Isabel Celaá, may not remain in the cabinet. And the same goes for the Minister of Justice, Dolores Delgado, weighed down by her close relationship with the corrupt commissioner José Villarejo, and with the head of Industry and Commerce, Reyes Maroto. The entry into the Executive of Alberto Garzón, predictably to occupy this portfolio, leaves Maroto with few options.
Other ministers, also affected by the pact with Iglesias, will be able to survive but with their very diminished attributions. Magdalena Valerio would remain only with Social Security because Labor will be occupied by Yolanda Díaz de Podemos. And Pedro Duque, who loses Universities in favor of the Catalan representative of the purple Rosa Rosach formation, with Science and Innovation.
On Foreign Affairs, doubts about what Sanchez will finally do remain in the party and in the Government. Although some sources suggest that the elected one will be the current Minister of Agriculture, Luis Planas, there is still speculation with José Manuel Albares , General Secretary of International Affairs of Moncloa and with Cristina Gallach , High Commissioner for the 2030 Agenda. Most of the sources consulted take for granted the continuity of Margarita Robles in Defense, although there is a perennial sector in the PSOE that proclaims her departure. And there is also speculation on the path of the Minister of Health, María Luisa Carcedo, and with the head of Culture, José Guirao.
Carcedo has in his favor the support of the vice secretary of the PSOE and socialist spokesman, Adriana Lastra, and in Asturias was one of the first leaders who positioned himself in favor of Sanchez in the primary. With less network Guirao account. Culture could be the fate of the former president of the Senate, Manuel Cruz, if he finally enters the government although this is not taken for granted. It is not ruled out, according to the sources consulted, that the president will again use independent to occupy portfolios such as Education and Justice.
Rosa Lluch, Minister of Universities "90%"
Rosa Lluch, daughter of the former socialist minister killed by ETA and 'number 1' of En Comú Podem to the Senate in the past, will be "90%" of possibilities the next Minister of Universities, one of the four departments that will hold United We in the next Coalition Government, according to sources of the 'commons'.
The department will break away from Science, which in the past legislature also brought together university competitions under the direction of Pedro Duque, Servimedia reports.
It is also confirmed that the Ministry of Labor, which will lead the Galician deputy of IU Yolanda Díaz, will lose the Social Security competencies, which will end up in another department in the hands of the PSOE.
These two ministries will be joined by that of Equality, whose head seems clear that it will be Irene Montero, and a fourth, that would hold the federal coordinator of IU, Alberto Garzón. All of them will fall under the Second Vice Presidency of the Government, of a social nature, whose head will be Pablo Iglesias.
