Day of rural coexistence to grease the machinery. The coalition government of the PSOE and United We can celebrate its first month with achievements such as raising the minimum wage to 950 euros, but also with different messages, and sometimes contradictory. The repeal or not of the labor reform, the criticisms of Pablo Iglesias to the Spanish Justice; the separation of Science and Universities and then create a coordinating body; a single reform of the Criminal Code or two to first shield the 'only yes is yes' and another to reduce the crime of sedition; the situation of Billy the Child ; José Luis Ábalos' meeting with Delcy Rodríguez ... Pedro Sánchez and his ministers got up early to get on the bus that took them from Moncloa to the Quintos de Mora estate. An informal appointment to agree on priorities, messages and know the money you have to undertake initiatives.

Sheltered by the morning cold and equipped with their work portfolios, the members of the Government arrived at the Toledo farm with the aim of selling an optimistic message: show brotherhood, address the legislative agenda of the political quarter; the economic context and budgetary stability; as well as «the great transformations that the Government will promote», as reported by Moncloa, which, as on the occasion of the first Council of Ministers , had a wide audiovisual display provided only by the Executive services.

To open their mouths, all the members of the Council of Ministers took the floor to present the priorities of their departments. Sanchez closed the turn of interventions, according to government sources, to admit the "political calendar of great intensity" that awaits the Executive , but relying on a "time of optimism, hopeful." One of the purposes of the appointment - which Sánchez already made with his first Executive - was precisely this, to impregnate it with a positive message, which was the one that is intended to be transferred from Moncloa, in the face of economic, labor and territorial tension uncertainty In which the country lives.

Thus, the Vice President Nadia Calviño played an important role in the event, since the ministers had a specific session dedicated to the economy and budgetary stability. As a backdrop is the preparation of the next General Budgets, the items that each ministry will have to prepare its proposals, and the economic adjustments requested by Brussels to the Spanish Government. The distribution of money between departments can generate tension among ministers.

Under the dogma of positivism, Calviño moved, as they explained from Moncloa, that the economy "evolves on a solid basis," while Sanchez again took the floor to set the priority of government action to young people: the "great pagans." of precariousness, exclusion and poverty, caused by the crisis and the cuts, ”defined the president of the Government, who asked his cabinet to“ always think about the future ”.

The meeting ended at around 7 pm, after analyzing what government sources described as "the great transformations that the government will promote": economic growth, equality, territorial cohesion, ecological transition, science and digitalization and social justice.

From Moncloa, at the end of the day, they provided some images with the assessment of the spokeswoman, María Jesús Montero, who described the coexistence as “necessary so that, in the end, we understand the members of the Government just by looking at us. Get to know each other better and understand the keys that each one has in his head ». «We had a cross-cutting debate, enormously enriching. I have learned a lot, ”summarized Pablo Iglesias, in a message spread by Moncloa on the internet.
