Interviews, that, despite the insistent comments in that sense, he did not intend to proceed with a remodeling at the end of the european presidency and that he was very happy with the current team. But, just as has happened with the pension cut or the tax increase, in this matter the president of the government has also been forced to refute his own words. According to sources close to la moncloa , the profile of the crisis being studied is as follows: -- it will be a broad and deep crisis , which will affect a prominent part of the current government. -- there will also be a reduction in the structure of the executive, with the elimination of ministries . -- zapatero's intention is to surround himself with a team of 'faithful' , that is, ministers directly linked to him. -- with this operation, the president will have taken the political initiative. Furthermore, he will be able to appear at the plenary session of the state of the nation , convened for july 6 and 7, with a new government , and 'sell' a cut in structure and therefore in expenses.
Faithful people regarding the composition of the new cabinet, zapatero's intention to close his ranks is insisted upon , surrounding himself with people very close to him, considered especially 'faithful'. Although there is no concrete data on who he Special Database will count on, names can be mentioned such as josé antonio alonso , now spokesperson in congress, who has been a friend of his since childhood. Likewise, the presence of josé blanco is certain , who is playing a high role in the ministry of development, and also as the main socialist spokesperson in this stage of crisis, and who could 'rise' even to become one of the vice presidents . Other people with direct loyalty to zapatero are carme chacón and trinidad jiménez . The same can be said of miguel sebastián , economic advisor to the president, who was one of the members of the 'zurbano commission', and who could displace elena salgado as the main economic brain of the government.
José andrés torres mora , deputy for málaga and direct advisor to zapatero, is also part of the inner circle , although, due to his profile, more intellectual than executive, he is not seen in a ministry. Bernardino león , general secretary of the presidency, is another name that is used. Possible discards when it comes to forming the new government, this time zapatero will act with total freedom with respect to the party, the barons and territorial obligations. That is to say, he will not pay attention to the convenience of having andalusians (like bibiana aído ), catalans (like celestino corbacho ), etc. Regarding the discards, the ministers will come out who are 'burned out' , who do not contribute anything or who have been a fiasco, but also some others like miguel ángel moratinos , who has recently hinted that he is leaving the government. Regarding the first vice president, maría teresa fernández de la vega , she was in the eye of the hurricane at the beginning of the year, she was later ratified by the president, but there is the impression that she will abandon the position , among other things because she herself gives the impression of be tired.
