  • Politics: Lucia, the first daughter of Malú and Albert Rivera, is born

Babies arrive with a loaf of bread under their arms, or so it is said, at least. In the case of Álex, popular wisdom could not be more certain, because his coming to the world on May 21, in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, has caused Inés Arrimadas (38), her mother, to be living one of her sweeter moments. And not only on a personal level. Under his presidency, which he accessed just four months ago after the debacle in the November elections and Albert Rivera's fright, Ciudadanos has not stopped growing in the polls, as has his assessment as a political leader.

She takes the polls calmly while enjoying maternity leave with her husband, the former Catalan deputy Xavier Cima (42), and his dog Suiti , "the whole family", as she herself wrote next to the photo of the Alex's first walk and uploaded to his Instagram account. "Inés is very happy, Álex was a highly anticipated child and both she and Xavi are enjoying it very much," reveals a source close to the C's leader. Arrimadas planned to give birth in Barcelona , where he continues to maintain a rented apartment, but the state of alarm caught him in Madrid, where he has lived since he launched into national politics after becoming a benchmark of anti-independence policy in Catalonia.

The Catalan announced that after giving birth she was going to take a few weeks of maternity leave, without specifying when she will resume her professional activity. During this time the president of Ciudadanos has not given any interviews or appeared in any public event, although she is not disconnected. "It is pending everything that is being done, logically," add the same sources. It will only make a parenthesis, with its participation in separate electoral acts in Galicia and the Basque Country to support the candidates for the regional elections on July 12.

While enjoying Álex, the party has remained in the hands of Edmundo Bal (52), the state lawyer signed by Rivera after being purged for defending that there was a rebellion in the process . With a brilliant career in the judicial world, Bal has also revealed himself as a political solvent with great parliamentary skills. "Arrimadas and he form a good team. He has been lucky to have him," highlights a person who has followed the evolution of the game in recent years.

The bonanza translates into figures: according to the latest CIS barometer , published in May, Ciudadanos would be the only formation, along with the PSOE, with a rise in voting intention . Under the Arrimadas effect , the orange formation would get 10.5% of the votes, almost four points more than in the November elections, in which they went from 57 seats to 10. If these voting predictions were fulfilled, Cs would be located to only eight tenths of Vox and to a point of United We Can.

"Inés has managed to refocus the party after listing to the right of Albert Rivera. Since taking the reins, she has embarked on a different path and has achieved, with only 10 deputies, that Ciudadanos is seen again as a useful party, exercising a useful opposition , "he adds.

And Albert Rivera? What has become of the once ubiquitous Citizen leader? Like his former spokesperson in Congress, he is also enjoying his recent paternity with Malú, his media partner. Their girl, Lucia, was born just two weeks after Arrimadas' baby. The parents maintain a cordial personal relationship - "they congratulate each other on the births of children and the like" - but he does not act as a guru in the shade nor does she allow herself to be guided. In fact, Rivera has been against the extension of the state of alarm that Arrimadas supported.

Signed by the Martínez Echevarría law firm and installed in her new home, the spectacular chalet that the singer has in an exclusive Madrid urbanization, tries to alleviate her political jumpsuit with her webinar and her new Telegram channel, which opened in May. The presentation of his new book, A Free Citizen , has had to be postponed until September.
