When the crisis over the law broke out, only yes is yes, the Spanish government offered Podemos that Irene Montero be appointed ambassador to Chile. Treating this position, the highest level within the diplomatic career ladder, as a "nice" formula - according to the purple formation - to get rid of someone, is a common practice questioned for years by members of the diplomatic corps, made up of state officials who must take competitive exams and accumulate merits for years to access them. Other former ministers of Pedro Sánchez, unlike Montero, accepted this position. Isabel Celaá, former Minister of Education and former spokesperson for the executive, is ambassador to the Vatican; Héctor Gómez, former Minister of Industry, is ambassador to the United Nations Organization, based in New York, and Miquel Iceta, former head of Culture, is ambassador to UNESCO, based in Paris.
