• CELEBRITIES Eva Cárdenas, partner of Núñez Feijóo, leaves her position as external advisor to Sargadelos

  • COUPLES The discreet Eva Cárdenas, the mainstay of Feijóo

Núñez Feijóo (61 years old) is already installed in Madrid, supported by those who really matter to him: his partner, Eva Cárdenas (57), and his 5-year-old son Albertiño, not only by the PP barons who received him like water from May.

The Galician executive moved precisely that month to the capital with the former president of the Xunta to a nice rental house in the Paseo de la Habana area and has already enrolled the child in a nearby school for this course.

In Coruña, the leader of the opposition and his girlfriend (for the record, they are not married)

lived in the center of the city in a spacious flat she owned

next to the neighborhood of the cantons, where they were often seen having a drink, and they wore her son to a private school, the same one where Marta Ortega studied before going to a boarding school in Switzerland.

For Feijóo the transfer

is being more difficult

than for his partner.

He finds it hard to live in a big city, although he has no choice if he wants to continue his political career towards Moncloa.

Cárdenas, however, takes it better;

he already said on one occasion that he is "passionate" about changes.

Despite being the one who has a vocation for public service, those who know Eva Cárdenas know of her fearlessness in the shadows, a woman who is not at all shy in short distances, and who

"never appears but is always"

next to the love of her life.

She herself commented on it at a congress of women entrepreneurs two years ago when she spoke about her departure from Inditex in 2018, to which she now adds her departure from Sargadelos, announced earlier this week.

"It must be recognized that in my case we are talking about opportunities. Hard is losing a loved one or not having a way to support your children or unwanted loneliness. I would like not to seem frivolous when I say that resetting does not seem hard to me. Reset for me it's back to the beginning,

return to a starting position and have the desire to undertake a new challenge,

to change things in your life.

I am not an immobile person,

and what I like the most is the energy, the adrenaline, the difficulty of undertaking something, whether it is a project in a multinational company or something difficult to do".

There were those who cited personal reasons for his sudden abandonment of the Galician giant and the same thing has also been said now that he has resigned

from his work for the well-known Galician ceramic brand,

which he has advised in the last two years, coinciding with its relaunch and opening of a new tendon in the gold mill of Madrid.

But it is not strictly so.

In 2018 she had just become a mother and Cárdenas was at the highest management level as head of

Zara Home

since 2003

earning more than one million euros a year.

His position required the utmost dedication and he decided to leave him because he could not keep up the same pace as before and because of his intention to start a new exciting real estate business,

Nube Azul,

which he is still active and allowed him to better reconcile his family life.

A company

that manages very good figures (more than three and a half million in assets)

thanks to Cárdenas's assets and in which her twenty-year-old daughter works, the result of her first marriage.

A girl trained abroad during her university stage.

Eva Cárdenas' career at Inditex (graduated in Economics with a master's degree from IE) was impeccable.

Galician by birth and belonging to a well-positioned family (her father Antón was a director of Caixa Galicia), she landed in Arteixo in 1999 after passing through Kraft and

L'Oréal

and managed the cosmetics division of

Zara

before leading the decoration division, which founded, managed to increase sales by 51%, reaching a turnover of 800 million a year.

"

She is a woman with soft forms but at the same time demanding, perfectionist and very hardworking.

Pure philosophy of the house.

She still maintains a magnificent relationship with the Ortegas", close sources slip. A competent lady with the added value of a wonderful presence (she is tall, large, with a good hanger and elegant) and a close character; in fact, it was common to see her eat with her team in the company canteen.

"Eva didn't need an uncle like me at all, she lived much better before she met me," Feijóo told Bertín Osborne on the large white sofa in his living room-television set.

He is right.

When she met him (they crossed paths on a plane and she confessed that she had not voted for him), Eva Cárdenas had a career

that she abandoned for love

and now allows them both to live comfortably, yes, with a greater public projection that they both hate.

They hardly let themselves be seen in love and company, yes, when they do it it is naturally, as in the

Prince of Asturias Awards

or in a well-known Galician annual solidarity gala called Ilusión.

The first and last time we have seen them together in Madrid was this June at the concert offered by the also Galician Luz Casal at the Teatro Real.

They sat near Grande-Marlaska, who greeted them warmly.

It is foreseeable that they will have a certain social life in Madrid behind closed doors.

At the moment we know that

Feijóo has met with important members of the IBEX.

At the moment they share a neighborhood, El Viso, with some of them.

Of course many weekends will go to Galicia.

Feijóo's mother and sister are there, as well as Eva's family.

They have farms, she one in Moaña (Pontevedra), on the sea,

and he in Teo (Coruña), where they like to watch Albertiño play and grow.
