Governments of Spain This is how the 217 members of the Government of Spain have been since 1979
The last elections to the Community of Madrid, with the resounding failure of the PSOE, paved the way for a reshaping of the Government of Pedro Sánchez, who assumed the failure and admitted not having known how to connect with the state of mind of society.
Barely two months have passed since then when President Sánchez ruled out changes and today he presents them to create a Government of recovery and coincidentally, a day after receiving the Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, responsible for this new tsunami, in Moncloa.
Another tsunami was when the President of the Government learned in France of the departure of Pablo Iglesias.
The unexpected decision of the second vice president of the Executive unleashed a government crisis.
The leader of Podemos left Moncloa to run as a candidate for the presidency of Madrid and the failure, in addition to leading him to abandon politics, is at the origin of today's changes in the cabinet, where the movements will affect the socialist side, and not to the dwelling, which make up the executive collation.
This was the composition of the first democratic coalition government (PSOE-Unidas Podemos) that jumped due to the departure of Iglesias.
After the departure of Pablo Iglesias, a practically equal Executive remained, with the Minister of Labor,
Yolanda Díaz
, with more powers when the new Vice President of the Government assumed, while the Ministry of Social Rights was assumed by
Ione Belarra
, current Secretary of State of Agenda 2030, replacing Churches.
Months before there had been other changes in the Government of Sánchez, during his second presidency, also on the occasion of other
regional
elections
, the
Catalan ones
. The departure of Minister
Salvador Illa
to be a candidate for the Generalitat of Catalonia, meant the change of portfolio of
Carolina Darias
, who assumed Health, in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, and the incorporation of
Miquel Iceta
who covered the portfolio of Territorial Policy and Public Function left by Darias to take charge of Health. This happened at the end of January 2021.
So far the changes made by Pedro Sánchez in his second presidency of the Government, which he arrived in 2018 after a motion of censure against Mariano Rajoy that came out ahead by
180 votes
compared to
169 against
and
one abstention
and was invested.
The first Sánchez Government was from June 2018 to January 2020 and was made up of 16 ministers, plus Vice President Carmen Calvo and the president himself.
And it was convulsed by the exits of portfolio holders who did not have time to make their mark, as was the case of
Maxim Huerta
, Minister of Culture and Sports, who was replaced by
José Guirao
, after seven days of serving as Minister, when his problems with the Treasury were made public.
Something that practically happened to
Carmen Montón
, Minister of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare, who extended her mandate until September 2018 when she was replaced by
María Luisa Carcedo
, who remained until Sánchez's second presidency when Salvador Illa collected the Health portfolio. . Carmen Montón presented her resignations as minister after being splattered by the
master scandal,
the second resignation of a minister in just 101 days.
But from that first Government born of a motion of censure,
Josep Borrell
, Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation until November 2019, and
Maritxell Batet
, Territorial Policy,
would also come out before it was put to an end by the call for elections.
and Public Function, until May 2019.
In February 2019, the PSOE confirmed the Foreign Minister as a candidate for the European elections on May 26.
Borrell plays today is
High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs
and Security Policy, and Maritxell Batet
,
is the current
president of the Congress of Deputies
.
Sánchez did not count, or did not renew, in his first government of his second presidency with
Dolores Delgado
, Minister of Justice, burdened by her close relationship with the corrupt commissioner José Villarejo;
Magdalena Valerio
, Minister of Labor, Migration and Social Security;
and
María Luisa Carcedo
, Minister of Health.
And finally another affected.
María Jesús Montero Cuadrado, Minister of Finance, who with the coalition Government added the responsibility of the spokesperson for the Government that she still holds.
Dolores Delgado is since her departure from the Government Attorney General's Office of the State, which caused quite a lot of
astonishment and surprise
, and
his ministerial portfolio would assume it
Juan Carlos Campo.
Valerio's powers were divided into
Yolanda Díaz,
Minister of Labor, and José
Luis Escrivá
, Minister of Social Security, from the AIReF presidency.
This afternoon Pedro Sánchez will announce some changes that seek, as it has transpired, a "more feminine character to the Government" and that will not affect the
powerful
part
of it but the ministries under the command of Socialists.
The departure of vice president Carmen Calvo is taken for granted and Nadia Calviño reinforces her power with the first vice presidency of the Government and that of Iván Redondo, the
controversial adviser to
the president, replaced by Óscar López.
