Carmen Calvo: if there is a guitar, someone will have to dance

The acting Vice President of the Government, Carmen Calvo (62), has an agenda so loaded that she can barely dedicate her time to activities that have nothing to do with the exercise of her profession. With the great caveat of what is most important in his life: his family.

The week before the sentence of the procès was known, the vice president of the Government acted as a grandmother going to pick up one of her grandchildren at school. Dressed in a beige raincoat with the message 'Lavie Dream' and with her usual daring but elegant style, Calvo dedicated to her grandson the attention and pampering that grandmothers profess for the little ones.

For her, the figures of her grandparents were very important and, in the same way, she wants to play that role for her grandchildren. "My grandparents have been very significant. A grandfather indoctrinated me, in the good sense of the word, to not be afraid in life, to the value of not being a coward. I consider the figure I have to play in the life of my grandchildren, "confessed a few months ago to the magazine Yo Dona.

What has happened this week, after the sentence of the procès, has been of such political magnitude that the vice president has not been able to answer LOC's call to talk about her more personal and family side. Even so, whenever he has free time he turns to his family: "I dedicate it to my daughter, my grandchildren and my son-in-law. Snack with them and kiss them," he said in the aforementioned interview.

She asked her parents for permission to live together without having married and they accepted. Carmen was ahead of her time, since more than 40 years ago living with a couple without a previous marriage was a revolution.

The marriage with José Luis ended, although Carmen maintains a cordial relationship with her ex-husband, who is joined by love for her daughter and grandchildren. Calvo remarried Manuel Pérez Yruela, a CSIC sociologist, from whom he also separated.

A relationship she didn't confirm at any time.
