• How is the heart of our politicians?
  • Miguel Ángel Revilla, affected by the Echevarría and Bustamante crisis

That Miguel Ángel Revilla (77) is to the political gathering as Belén Esteban a Sábado Deluxe is no secret. The President of Cantabria uploads the audience of the program to which he attends due to his naturalness and way of expressing himself. He likes Revilla, he seems to have no folds and his political management is as natural as his private life.

Revilla studied Economic Sciences in the Basque Country and entered politics in 1983, when he was elected as a member of the Cantabrian Parliament. From there he rose to president of the PRC and as head of the party he was two legislatures vice president and is already going for the third as president of Cantabria . All this without his party having ever won an election, which shows his ability to negotiate. His best data was in the municipal elections of 2015, when he was voted in by 22.1% of the population compared to 35.7% who supported the Popular Party.

Revilla has always ruled with the left but does not marry anyone. In fact, his party voted against the inauguration of Sánchez, who is demanding a high-speed train for Cantabria and which pays the 121 million euros of debt pending from the Hospital de Valdecilla.

Despite the fact that in three years he will turn 80, the Cantabrian president is in great shape, thanks to the new youth who live with his second family. Revilla married María del Pilar Hoyo in the late 1970s , with whom he settled in a house in the municipality of Piélagos. As a result of that marriage, two daughters were born, Pili , who turned 40 in the middle of a pandemic, and Jana , 33 years old. The two maintain a very discreet public profile. Pilar lives in Cantabria while Jana resides in Madrid and once broke her discretion to surprise her father on television. On some occasion, Revilla has confessed that with his older daughters he was not a good father because of the time dedicated to work.

In 2014, the president became the grandfather for the first time of a boy named Bruno, Pili's son. Revilla proudly shared the birth in networks, although he confessed with regret that age prevented him from spending more time with him: "I was delighted, what happens is that it takes me a little bit more to enjoy ourselves. I would have liked to have him with 60 years, "he said in an interview with Las Mañanas de Cuatro.

The sincerity with which he talks about his private life - he did it with Bertín Osborne and the program reached a 22% share, the highest until the moment the interview was broadcast - he uses it for politics. With a blunt language, apparently he is the same at home as in Zarzuela, where he became known because on his first visit as president he arrived by taxi with a can of Santoña anchovies . Because Revilla works as a Cantabrian at all hours. It is not uncommon to find him on Calle Castelar, in the most stately area of ​​Santander, where he enjoys a terrace in summer and spends time chatting with everyone who approaches him. His populism has earned him greater fame than some politicians who work nationally, not regionally. Two facts: he is the regional president with the most followers on Twitter , 707,600, he doubles that of Díaz-Ayuso and triples that of Quim Torra. In addition, in 2018 in a survey published by Adecco, 21.9% of Cantabrians elected him as the politician they would like to have as their boss, only behind Inés Arrimadas.

Her daughter Lara , who was born 20 years ago as a result of her second marriage, this time with the León Aurora Díaz del Hoyo, is guilty of her success in social networks . His wife is 18 years younger and they met at the PRC headquarters, where she worked as a secretary. Together they reside in an apartment of 115 square meters in the municipality of Astillero, very close to Santander.

After the wedding, Lara was born, who has given Revilla a second youth. The youngest daughter is the one with the most public profile. In her Twitter account she defines herself as "music lover. Poetry in critical condition. Cantabrian regionalist. Feminist." Progressive ". It would not be unusual for him to take over from his father in a few years, as he is part of the Regionalist Youth of Cantabria . But for now, it is the patriarch, Revilla, who maintains the popularity of the region.
