• Profiles. Fernando Simón and his most unknown side: a valued climber
  • Politics: The old friendship that unites Fernando Simón and the new Minister of Health of Aragon, Sira Repollés

She was born in Utrera (Seville), is 45 years old and is the new Secretary of State for Health. From a young age, Silvia Calzón was close to the PSOE, in fact she was already part of the Socialist Youth even before she was 18 years old.

He grew up in Utrera, studied at the Álvarez Quintero school and later continued his studies at the Ruiz Gijón institute, both public, perhaps because he comes from a secular family, according to some of his relatives.

His parents, now retired, have never been in the world of politics. In fact, his father emigrated to Switzerland to work, spending half his life coming and going because his family continued to live in the Sevillian town.

Perhaps because he was a committed person with a vocation for public service, he studied medicine and received his doctorate from the University of Granada, obtaining good marks; He did the MIR in the specialty of Epidemiology and completed his university studies with a master's degree in Public Health and Health Economics, among others.

Animal lover

Silvia is the second of three siblings - an older sister and a brother younger than her, both married and with children - and comes from the Utreran neighborhood of La Vereda, a popular neighborhood of working people. She, for her part, has not had children, and has shared her life for years with a construction worker.

Silvia worked in Malaga as an epidemiologist; then she moved to Cabra (Córdoba) from where she worked as manager of that sanitary zone; Later she changed her destination to Seville, also as manager of the southern zone, from the Valme hospital, until the Government changed, she was dismissed and she dedicated herself to working on her own. I was there when the coronavirus pandemic arrived. Until now, when you have received this appointment.

In addition, she has been a parliamentarian, town councilor, deputy mayor, and candidate for mayor. But she has also given classes at the Andalusian School of Public Health in Granada and has even carried out health records in slaughterhouses.

Silvia also highlights her love for animals. She also shares her life with a dog and a cat, she does not like hunting or bullfighting and has never been to a plaza, not even at the time when she was a Youth and Celebrations delegate at the Utrera City Council. .

From Utrera to Madrid

Calzón does not eat meat, she likes to read and travel a lot and is fond of History. He also likes to enjoy himself with his group of friends, whom he has kept since his school and high school days, and continues to live in Utrera, where he leads a normal life. As for his vacations, he usually spends them in Rota (Cádiz), where the family has an apartment.

Silvia Calzón has thus become, since last Tuesday, the number two of the Ministry of Health, and will have to work hand in hand with Fernando Simón. The Sevillian has been fighting COVID19 from Andalusia on the front line from the beginning. Soon he will move to Madrid to continue with a tough battle in which the outbreaks and the number of infected increase day by day. Those who know her bet on her worth. And perhaps also for a victory.
