chatting with Miquel Iceta, coffee at the ready;

next to Joe Biden, joker in the short distance;

remembering old times with his parents, on account of his birthday.

The four seasons

is the docuseries about 2,700 workers related to

La Moncloa

, although it inevitably has a single protagonist: the Prime Minister.

Pedro Sanchez, with Joe Biden.

Those responsible for this project, the production

companies The Pool

and

Secuoya Studios

, are clear that this docuseries, with two 45-minute episodes confirmed via

BOE

and the foreseeable expansion to four will not be on TVE.

Any act related to the PSOE has been avoided in the recordings, but even so, the creators of this filming do not contemplate that it will have an outlet on RTVE, which has also just changed its head, pushed from Moncloa: «The idea is that this is not going to a public television.

Obviously we know what that can mean (...) This is a documentary series that intends to end up on a channel or on a private platform, ”they explained yesterday from The Pool and Secuoya Studios.

Private audiovisual groups acknowledge to this newspaper that they have already received a knock on their door, but they find it difficult to fit in on open television given the impossibility of controlling the product, already completely closed and also with the Presidency as an involved party.

According to different sources from the audiovisual sector consulted by this newspaper, TVE has already vetoed a program with the day-to-day life of the former chief executive, Mariano Rajoy.

Specifically,

Cayetana Guillén-Cuervo

managed to fly with the then leader of the PP to Argentina, in April 2018 and as part of the

Authorized Access

format .

After a few months, Rajoy suffered a motion of censure that took him out of the Government, Sánchez tied the Presidency and Rosa María Mateo was raised to become administrator of RTVE.

This took the format from La 1 to La 2, placed it at very late 00:30 hours and vetoed Rajoy's chapter, by then already ex-president.

Although rumors from the audiovisual industry place this docuseries in the

streaming

giant's future catalog , the producers deny it: "

Netflix

has not bought it, nor has it seen it, nor has it shown any particular interest," they stress.

The format began filming in February of this year and will end in March 2023, so that the premiere is also expected next year, an eminently electoral year.

Sánchez will not occupy most of the footage, but it does work as a claim for the production, which yesterday previewed images in a Madrid movie theater.

Óscar López

, Sánchez's chief of staff, acted as host to allow the cameras to enter Moncloa, which there have only had two red lines: the president's daughters, who do not appear at any time, and the

Council of Ministers

once They close the doors to start the meeting.

Ione Belarra, Minister of Social Rights as well as General Secretary of United We Can, talks with the Minister of the Presidency Félix Bolaños about the arrival of a new member to his family.

Iceta, Minister of Culture, seems to encourage the breaks.

Teresa Ribera, energy vice president, is present at the talks.

Pedro Sánchez, in Moncloa, with his wife Begoña Gómez.

However, everything revolves around Sánchez.

Reading the press in front of his wife,

Begoña Gómez

;

walking the dogs, impeccably dressed;

commenting on the peculiarity of having a birthday on February 29, outdoors with his parents.

Emmanuel Macron, Boris Johnson, Joe Biden... they all appear in the documentary, which includes the NATO summit in Madrid or the

European Council

in Brussels in which Sánchez forged the Iberian exception to cap the price of gas.

The portrait, blessed by Moncloa, is inevitably careful and professional, with the care that awakens when the doors of a house are opened for you.

Before the camera, "the president has tables," admits

Curro Sánchez

, director of the documentary and winner of the Goya for a work on his father,

Paco de Lucía

.

The close-up of the sherpas, expert advisers with sharp speech who alert Sánchez of the difficulties in convincing the Germans or the bridges that can be built with Von der Leyen, is surprising.

The European Council at the end of March, focused on energy and inflation, is one of the climaxes of the footage.

A priori, these issues will continue in future footage;

perhaps, a crisis will also break out on the screen.
