• Territorial Policy. Miquel Iceta makes his debut as Minister of Territorial Policy claiming a "diverse, plural and united" Spain

  • Health.Carolina Darias assures that she will follow the "path traced" by Illa and will reinforce "cooperation" with the autonomies

The head of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has presided over the family photo of his new Executive on Tuesday at the Moncloa Palace, after the incorporation of Miquel Iceta and the change of portfolio of Carolina Darias, as well as the first meeting of his renewed cabinet.

For the first time Iceta has sat in the Council of Ministers after his appointment as head of Territorial Policy and Public Function, while Darias, who was the head of this department, has occupied the place where Salvador Illa was until a few days ago in front of Health.

Before entering the building of the Council of Ministers, Iceta and Darias, in this order, have walked a few meters to the door and have posed for graphic informants showing their respective portfolios.

They have accessed the interior and shortly after they have returned together with Sánchez and the rest of the members of the Government for the traditional family photo of each new Executive.

The president and his 22 ministers have been divided into four rows on the outer staircase, with masks and more distanced than usual to comply with health protocols due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Sánchez has been placed in the first row accompanied by his four vice-presidents (Carmen Calvo, Pablo Iglesias, Nadia Calviño and Teresa Ribera) while Iceta and Darias have been placed together at one end of the third row.

Then all of them have accessed the interior to start the first meeting of the new Council of Ministers.

At the meeting, it is expected that, among other matters, the recognition of covid-19 as an occupational disease for health workers, a situation recognized until now as a professional contingency derived from an accident at work, will be approved.

The new Government is the second in the legislature, and the entry of Iceta and the change of portfolio of Darias have meant the first modification of the coalition Executive.
