Rumours had been circulating in the Spanish capital for a long time about the government crisis that Pedro Sánchez was preparing, but no one could have suspected that it would have the scope it has finally had. Up to seven new ministers (five women and two men) will form part of an executive from which heavyweights of Sanchezism fall, such as the former vice president Carmen Cavo or José Luis Ábalos, who also leaves the post of secretary of organisation of the PSOE after having been the right hand of Sanchez since he regained the general secretariat of the party. The reshuffle also affects the team closest to the president, since it dispenses with his main adviser, Iván Redondo, who held the position of head of cabinet, in a news received with satisfaction in the PSOE, which had always distrusted the excessive power that he had accumulated.
