Mariano Rajoy watches series and has written a book
Don Juan Carlos or Rajoy: Who lives better after having retired from public life?
This Tuesday night, Mariano Rajoy (64) will see the faces with Pablo Motos in El Hormiguero in which it will surely be an interesting television duel. The reason is that, although the former president has fled as from the plague of the outbreaks after leaving La Moncloa, he is currently in full promotion of his book A Better Spain . This is a first-person account of his stage as president, where he addresses issues such as the abdication of King Juan Carlos, the Catalan crisis or the threat of rescue. One of the reasons to write it, he confesses, has been to give his own version and avoid others doing so by giving another "less affectionate" with his person.
The presentation of the book in Madrid, on December 4, which was attended by the current popular leader, Pablo Casado , brought together a large part of the former PP dome, including a high-voltage meeting of former Vice President Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría and former secretary general María Dolores de Cospedal, whose enmity was front cover. But Rajoy's wife, the very discreet Viri with her two children, Mariano (20) and Juan (14), who her father always protected from public curiosity and with whom she now tries to lead a life as normal as possible, also attended .
After the motion of censure that separated him from the Presidency of the Government on June 1, 2018, the politician returned to his usual home in the town of Aravaca , a duplex of his property of 279 square meters with garden, on whose ground floor there is the zulo , as Viri calls the space in which it is isolated to work. Rajoy, who keeps an escort and secretary as part of his endowment as a former, has acknowledged that it has not cost him to return to the life of a citizen, since there are many inconveniences and pressure that a president endures
He also quickly rejoined the registrar's post that he vacated in 1989 in the Alicante town of Santa Pola. For a short time, since after the summer he managed to transfer to the Mercantile Registry number 5 of Madrid, located on Paseo de la Castellana 44. There he works from Monday to Saturday with a comfortable schedule from 9 to 14 hours for a salary of about 15,000 euros per month , payroll of a registrar of your level.
Which allows him to enjoy the family, something that makes his wife happy, Viri (54), whom he married on December 28, April Fools' Day, 1997. Pontevedresa and economist, a profession he left to take care of her family, passed on tiptoe through La Moncloa, where they remember her as an educated and simple woman , who personally supervised the domestic intention and lived very closely with her children, Mariano and Juan. Precisely Mariano Junior caused a sensation in the presentation of his father's book, since he is a very tall and handsome twenties, whose image is far from paternal classicism, since he is passionate about sailing and has a windsurfing air . He is a third in Business Administration and Management at the Pontifical University of Comillas (ICADE) and speaks English and French correctly. He was educated at the British College as his little brother, who studies ESO Third.
During his time in La Moncloa, Viri also took care of his father-in-law , Mariano Rajoy Sobredo, a magistrate by profession, who was taken to live with them. He died at 97 on November 1, 2018. The death of his father, whom he adored and whom he considered the most influential person in life, was a blow to Rajoy.
The former president is a man of customs and is still spending the summer and Christmas in Sanxenxo, where he has an apartment facing the sea. There he meets with his lifelong friends, such as José Benito Suárez Costa, industrial engineer and husband of former Congresswoman Ana Pastor, with whom he goes for long walks.
Exceptionally, last June, Rajoy and Viri escaped with friends to Ibiza and Formentera, where the politician showed an unknown facet. He frequented fashionable places like Lío, a disco restaurant, or the beach club El Beso, where he even posed with the influencer María Pombo, who posted the image on his Instagram. He also sailed on the yacht of some friends and even photographed himself with the famous mojito man , who takes drinks to the boats , which he must have left fascinated because he declared later: "Honestly, I have been surprised by Rajoy's personality".
A marching vein that the former president conceals with his austere and somewhat provincial image, but that appeared as president during the New Year's Eve of 2016 at the Gran Hotel de La Toja, where he went dancing on the track My great night of Raphael, being immortalized in a video that went viral. As he himself acknowledged in one of his few interviews already outside of La Moncloa, " when you're president you don't go anywhere , or a restaurant, or a bar, or a football game, but it's a stage of life and it's voluntary.
