The largest government in recent years is also proving to be the most ineffective in managing the worst health crisis of the last century . The mammoth structure created by Pedro Sánchez, forced by his pact with Pablo Iglesias and by the costly balance of families within the PSOE, is currently becoming a brake on the agility required to fight the pandemic. Added to this is discretion in the appointment of freely appointed positions. As we reveal today, we are facing the record of positions in the organization chart of the Executive since Rodríguez Zapatero's mandate. The Government of PSOE and Podemos records the largest number of CEOs by hand in the last two decades, which is the period for which data is available. Under the decrees published in the BOE, the Sánchez and Iglesias cabinet enables 13 exceptions, compared to seven by Zapatero in 2008 or five by Rajoy in 2011. And this taking into account that it is a government made up of 22 Ministries, including high-ranking departments such as Commerce, to cater to the shuffling of positions between Socialists and the far left.

It is perplexing and blushing that, just at a time when the economic crisis stemming from the pandemic is jeopardizing all of our country's productive activity, the Government continues to be installed in waste. It refuses to lower its members' wages and make adjustments in the public sector, which is a real scandal given the economic recession and the blow received by companies after the abrupt drop in production and consumption. Spending on public payrolls will rise to 140 billion euros this year, after experiencing the biggest rise in the last decade. In this context, it is unacceptable for the public that the social communist coalition continues to fatten a structure that is clearly incapable of taking control of the stripes, beyond the liturgy of an inefficient single command. The embarrassing spectacle of chaos and confusion of the last two months is amplified by the lack of coordination within the Executive, the division between La Moncloa and the rest of the portfolios, and the open gap between the PSOE and Podemos on account of the story. with which an attempt is made to sustain a decomposed government, dislocated and completely overcome by events.

Sánchez promised nothing more to be invested that this would be a Government that would speak with several voices, "but always with a single word." Time has shown that neither the string of departments created to satisfy the demands of their partners nor the blatant will to expand the number of positions by finger serve to unite the task of government. On the contrary, it is an exorbitant, expensive and counterproductive structure that, instead of facilitating management, what it does is pay even more for the lack of coordination.
