In the pools on who will be the 13 future directors of the Community of Madrid, the name Javier Férnández-Lasquetty sounds more and more insistent. The current chief of staff of the president of the PP, Pablo Casado, is an old acquaintance in regional politics, since as head of Health he was the executor of the Esperanza Aguirre plan to privatize the hospitals that ended up paralyzed in the courts and with his forced resignation.

Now the former secretary general of the Faes Foundation , with a marked liberal tendency, could return to the Puerta del Sol to carry the Presidency portfolio. It would be, in any case, an almost merely guardianship charge, as this newspaper has been able to know, since in the next Government headed by the popular Isabel Díaz Ayuso in coalition with Citizens, that area will not have the strategic weight of the previous legislatures.

To begin with, Interior competencies - security and emergency services - will go to the Ministry of Justice , which will also incorporate a symbolic but ideologically very significant issue such as the specific protection of victims of terrorism. For this the candidate with more possibilities is David Pérez, number two on the list of the PP to the Assembly of Madrid and another of the hawks of the current more located on the right in the 13 of Genoa , in addition to very close to Casado.

Nor will the presidency in this legislature control the Canal de Isabel II , one of the most important public companies along with the Metro , which will remain in the hands of the Environment . For this reason, in the PP they also do not rule out that Lasquetty could finally be at the forefront of Education, a department that is going to be essential during the next four years since a good part of Vox's requirements in exchange for its support for Ayuso's investiture are related to this matter.

They also have many options to enter the Government as responsible for Finance both Enrique Ossorio and Miguel Ángel García , both with experience in economic management. It is expected that one way or another both have a prominent role in the next regional Executive.

Garrido as Transport Advisor

Among the counselors that Citizens have to appoint, it is practically assumed that the former popular president Ángel Garrido after his escape to the Orange Party will take care of the Ministry of Transportation and that the regional parliamentarian Alberto Reyero will do the same in Social and Family Affairs . For the rest of the areas, Ignacio Aguado's team is prioritizing the search for professional profiles, among which could be the writer and national deputy Marta Rivera de la Cruz as head of Culture.

After the agreement of the Coalition Government signed for the Community of Madrid, the PP will hold seven of the 13 councils, four more than currently, which total around 75% of the budget and include essential regional areas, such as Finance and Health.

In the distribution, Cs was left with six portfolios of lesser global weight, but in return he achieved the Spokesman and the Economics and Employment competencies, two of the flags of the policies of the oranges .
