Just 24 hours after unleashing a government crisis with his decision to leave the vice presidency to be a candidate for the Community of Madrid, Pablo Iglesias and Pedro Sánchez have held a meeting in La Moncloa, after the Council of Ministers every Tuesday.

The appointment, "brief", according to government sources, has shown that "some details need to be finished off."

Iglesias, in a decision that he only communicated to Sánchez minutes before making it public, has wanted to impose on the President of the Government his 'succession' in the Executive: that Yolanda Díaz becomes Minister of Labor and Second Vice President, and Ione Belarra occupies the portfolio of Social Rights.

Government sources explain that Sánchez and Iglesias "consider that there is agreement on the changes that must be undertaken", but that the agreement is not completely closed.

Missing "details based on coalition agreement."

And it is that the position that Iglesias intends for Díaz generates doubts in Moncloa.

It involves placing Díaz, Labor Minister, on the step above Nadia Calviño, third vice president and head of Government Economic Affairs.

A circumstance that could lead to more tension or friction in a coalition already mired in clashes between the partners.

Sánchez, yesterday from France, said that he has "the best opinion of the Minister of Labor. He has my full support. I am a person who complies with the coalition agreements. There is a Second Vice Presidency that represents United We Can in the Government. There will be no problem with that, there will be no misunderstandings. "

From his words it is clear that there will be a second vice presidency for United We Can, because this is stated in the government agreement, but he avoided, in a measured and calculated way, expressly confirming Díaz in that chair.

The Popular Party has demanded the "immediate resignation" of Pablo Iglesias as vice president of the Government and has demanded that President Pedro Sánchez take the opportunity to reshape the Executive by reducing it to "save money for the Spanish."

In this sense, the PP has advocated for a government with only one vice presidency and a reduced number of ministerial portfolios.

In relation to Iglesias, the popular ones congratulate that a "vague vague elevated to the category of vice president", whose executive activity "has been zero", leaves the Council of Ministers, but they ask for his departure "now" to prevent him from campaigning with public money from his position of number three in the Government.
