Sánchez will appear at 6 p.m. to explain how the government will be after Montero's departure
It must explain who will assume the Finance portfolio and also the first vice-presidency of the executive
MadridThe President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, will appear this Thursday from 6 p.m. in an institutional declaration to explain government changes. With the call for elections in Andalusia on May 17, the Minister of Finance and First Vice-President, María Jesús Montero, leaves her portfolio and goes as a candidate for the PSOE. From here, the Spanish President has to explain who will take over Finance and who will carry out the tasks of First Vice-President. So far, sources from Moncloa have ruled out a broad government crisis, always making it clear that the final word lies with Sánchez himself.
When the then spokesperson, Pilar Alegría, left the executive to be a candidate for the elections in Aragón, the Spanish President opted for minimal changes: he appointed Milagros Tolón as head of Education and Elma Saiz as spokesperson. Various sources suggest that he could now do the same: choose a successor for Montero, in sectoral terms, for the Finance portfolio and appoint another more political minister as First Vice-President.
