Foreign Minister, Arancha Gonzalez Laya, leaves the government amid diplomatic crisis with

Morocco

and is

replacing

Jose Manuel Albares

, currently ambassador of

Spain

in

France

and former Secretary General of Foreign Affairs in the Moncloa team.

His name already rang for the position a year and a half ago but Pedro Sánchez's commitment to Laya precipitated his departure to Paris.

Now he finally returns as minister just when Iván Redondo leaves, who was the other great heavyweight in Moncloa when Albares was still there.

Redondo leaves the leadership of the president's cabinet and will be replaced by Óscar López.

The appointment of the then Secretary General of Foreign Affairs as ambassador left all power in the hands of Redondo.

Laya was questioned about the decision to treat the leader of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali, in Spain, sick with coronavirus, in a hospital in Logroño.

His reception in Spain, which took place in secret, opened a deep diplomatic crisis with Morocco.

At this time there was no dialogue with his counterpart in the Alawite kingdom, Nasser Bourita.
