Sánchez changes the Government Government crisis: who leaves and who enters the new Executive of Sánchez
Moncloa Iván Redondo leaves the Government and Pedro Sánchez places Óscar López as his new Chief of Staff
Deep
government crisis
that Pedro Sánchez has carried out on this Saturday in July. The changes not only affect the vice presidencies - Carmen Calvo says and they are reduced to three - but also a good part of the ministers and other people with significant power in Moncloa, such as Iván Redondo. The hitherto director of the President's Cabinet is replaced by the socialist
Óscar López
.
Vice President
Carmen Calvo
and the ministers
José Luis Ábalos
,
Isabel Celaá
,
Pedro Duque
,
José Manuel Uribes
,
Arantxa González Laya
and
Juan Carlos Campo
leave the Executive
.
Apart from the changes is the part of the cabinet - a vice presidency and four ministries - that corresponds to United We Can.
The new government has almost
twice as many women as men -14 versus 8- and a younger average age
.
This is how the new Executive, the seventh of Sánchez, is configured.
President:
Pedro Sánchez
Worn out by the management of the pandemic and the economic deterioration, questioned by some of his decisions and criticized after the granting of pardons to pro-independence politicians, Sánchez has carried out a deep
government crisis
to try to print a new political course for the second half of the legislature.
His new Executive aims to be, as he has said, that of "recovery.
Prime Vice President and Minister for Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation:
Nadia Calviño
The highest economic head of the Government earns even more gallons in the face of the economic reactivation and the management of European funds.
Nadia Calviño as number two will be the maximum reference, with which a message is also transferred to
Brussels
in the face of the noise and contradictory messages that there may have been, especially with United We Can.
Second Vice President and Minister of Labor and Social Economy:
Yolanda Díaz
Sánchez has decided not to open a debate with Podemos about his quota in the Government and to limit only the changes to the socialist portfolios.
The
purple
leader
has thus also avoided unleashing an internal battle in training on account of the distribution of power quotas, a few months after assuming leadership in the Government after the departure of Pablo Iglesias
Third Vice President and Minister of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge:
Teresa Ribera
The increase in the electricity bill has weighed on Teresa Ribera in recent weeks.
However, the fact that European funds are, among other criteria, aimed at promoting a sustainable economy, has helped his permanence in one of the vice presidencies.
Minister of the Presidency:
Félix Bolaños
Until now
, a party man,
Félix Bolaños
was Secretary General of the Presidency and is going to assume the Ministry of the Presidency, Relations with the Courts and Democratic Memory, the position that
Carmen Calvo
occupies
Prop of the PSOE of Madrid, the Sánchez federation, belongs to the circle of maximum confidence of the Prime Minister, who has entrusted him with such sensitive tasks as the negotiation with United We Can that allowed the formation of the coalition government, the exhumation of Franco and the negotiation with the PP to renew the Judicial Power.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation:
José Manuel Albares
José Manuel Albares
, currently ambassador of
Spain
in
France
and former Secretary General of Foreign Affairs in the Moncloa team, will be the new foreign minister.
His name already rang for the position a year and a half ago but the bet on González Laya precipitated his march to Paris.
Until now, the minister leaves office burdened by the decision to attend to the leader of the Polisario Front in Spain, which has triggered a serious crisis with Morocco.
Minister of Justice:
Pilar Llop
Pilar Llop will be the new Minister of Justice, replacing Juan Carlos Campo.
He inherits the portfolio with the challenge of unblocking negotiations with the main opposition party, the PP, to renew the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), which has been paralyzed since the end of 2018.
Llop is a judge specializing in gender violence and has held the Presidency of the Senate to date, a position to which she arrived in December 2019. She replaces Juan Carlos Campo in Justice, who defended and signed the pardons of the pro-independence politicians who promoted the procés .
Defense Minister:
Margarita Robles
Although Robles had been willing to take over the Interior portfolio days ago - and whoever Sánchez entrusted to him, the president has finally opted for his continuity at the Defense front.
From that portfolio, he has boosted the popularity of the Armed Forces thanks to his contribution to the fight against the pandemic and he has also frequently distanced himself in public from the political positions of former Vice President Pablo Iglesias.
