- First Council.Sanchez reinforces Redondo and orders him to "sell" the achievements of the Government
- President Sánchez sees "impeccable" appointing Delgado "attorney general" and will be "delighted" to meet with Torra
- Profile: Ivan Redondo, a professional of power ... and ministry
The Pedro Sánchez Resistance Manual , the book that the president of the Government wrote to recount his victory in the socialist primaries when everyone in the PSOE took him for dead, begins to be incomplete. Everything that has happened in these months is already given for a second part.
If in the Sanchez party he achieved a second life, he also wants to get it in the Government. He wanted to release it with the elections of April 28, then with those of November, but he has not been able to live it until he has surpassed the endowment. The president who leaves her is different. He remained hidden while negotiating the coalition with United We and the abstention of ERC. But once he got the election in Congress, Sanchez has totally taken over the situation. Of the government. And almost of the legislature.
He dissolved Pablo Iglesias with four vice presidencies. He has made United Claudicate with appointments of ministers that two days ago, when they were in opposition, they would have censored. The management of the Catalan crisis has been almost exclusively reserved. And he has increased the power of his chief of staff, Iván Redondo, to act in practice as superintendent of La Moncloa , with more real power than vice presidents.
The Council of Ministers met on Tuesday for the first time, and among other appointments ratified Redondo in his post with more functions. Sanchez's phrase that the Government will have "several voices but a single message" will be executed at full length.
The success of this new Executive will be that citizens understand its usefulness and recognize its achievements. It is necessary to sell it to the public opinion and for this the president has chosen the person of his team with more knowledge of political communication. Round adds to its power the control of the Ministry of Communication . Although his influence on this matter was almost absolute, the messages that leave the Executive now officially depend on Iván Redondo.
He also directs all the departments of assistance to the president: national, institutional, international affairs, communication with citizens, the General Secretariat of the Presidency , the President's Economic Office and the Department of National Security . And Sanchez puts under his command the National Office of Prospective and Strategy of Long Term Country , of new creation, that will be in charge of "thinking structurally in the Spain of the next 30 years".
He had speculated on the PSOE with his decline. Noted as one of the people who influenced Sanchez's decision to repeat the elections, what was least expected in the game after the bad result of 10-N is to be reinforced.
But exactly this is what has happened. The Spain we are addressing is at the head of the President of the Government and very few others. And Redondo is one of them. Even the day of the celebration of the Council of Ministers is changed, from Tuesday to Friday, to mark the agenda of the week.
Sanchez breaks the silence
The way in which Sánchez now assumes power, despite the obvious weaknesses of leading the country with a government in coalition with another party on the left, more radical, but clearly left, and without a solid majority in Congress , were palpable in the appearance that Tuesday starred after the first meeting of his Government, which approved the increase in pensions.
In itself that press conference is another novelty. After many weeks hiding from the media while tying his endowment, he returned to stand in front of the journalists to assume only his last and controversial decisions.
The proposal to appoint the former Minister of Justice, Dolores Delgado, as the new State Attorney General. And his promise to meet with the president of the Generalitat, Quim Torra, despite the fact that the Barcelona Electoral Board has dispossessed him of his deputy minutes in the Parliament.
And so, without any hesitation, he defended that Delgado's election is "impeccable", despite the rain of criticism from prosecutor associations. He has, he said, a career in the Prosecutor's Office - he is a career attorney - "absolutely accredited" and a "unquestionable" curriculum.
It is true that he has been part of the Government, he acknowledged at least, but he did it as "independent" and "returns" to the fiscal career. "He has all the right in the world and the confidence of the Government" to attend this position.
Reforms pending to negotiate with the PP
Critics of the opposition obey, in their opinion, that they are "against all appointments." But, despite this vision, he offered the PP to address the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary ( CGPJ ), the Constitutional Court, the Ombudsman and the RTVE Corporation. A negotiation, the judicial one, on which the new Minister of Justice, Juan Carlos Campo, will get down to work.
On the encounter with Torra he did not transmit a single doubt either. You will see it, yes. And also, "delighted." "As soon as possible", because "he is still the president of the Generalitat of Catalonia". The cabinets of both already prepare the meeting, which the president requires as a preliminary step to the constitution of the dialogue table between the Generalitat and the State, agreed to achieve the abstention of ERC to the investiture.
This table, according to Sánchez, will be launched, but not necessarily within the 15-day period that was set out in the agreement with the independentistas. The delay does not avoid at all their willingness to dialogue and "leave the judicial path behind." Word of the new Sánchez.
