The Civil Guard has closed the proceedings for the death of the child who died after being forgotten for hours in his mother's car in the Pontevedra municipality of O Porriño on July 6. The report, according to sources of the investigation, has concluded after having taken a statement from the parents of the child, who had not turned three years old.

Due to the state of shock in which the father and mother of the child were, the Civil Guard waited a few days to interview them. Neither of them was arrested since it is understood that the fatal event was the result of a mistake on the part of the mother, the same sources specified..

She forgot to leave her son at the nursery and went to work at a pharmaceutical company in the O Porriño industrial estate without realizing that she had left the child in the car, in the outdoor parking lot of those facilities..

It was the father who called his wife in the afternoon to alert her that the child was not in the nursery and, when they went to the vehicle, nothing could be done to save the child's life, who probably died from a blow to the vehicle. heat. The case will now go to the court of O Porriño with the transfer of the Civil Guard report.

• Nine days outdoors in a field to see his idol: “Everyone should do it”
• The Red Hot Chili Peppers fill out the last day of Mad Cool, but it's Prodigy who doesn't disappoint

The Madrid City Council has just confirmed that it does not authorize the celebration of the Reggaeton Beach Festival event, which was scheduled for this same weekend, on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 July, and in which artists such as Ozuna, Anuel AA, Archangel or Jhayco, among others. The festival was to be held at the new Iberdrola Music venue in the Villaverde district, which was recently inaugurated with the Mad Cool 2023 macro-festival and the massive concert by the popular English singer Harry Styles. The Reggaeton Beach Festival was going to be the third date that the venue hosted, but the strong opposition to this type of event on the part of some residents of Villaverde and nearby Getafe, as well as certain mobility problems produced in the aforementioned concerts, may have had something to do with this decision of the City Council.

According to the Urban Planning, Environment and Mobility area of the Madrid City Council, “adequate safety or evacuation conditions” were not guaranteed, and this same week a security meeting was held with the Government Delegation, in which all parties The parties involved expressed their concern about how an event of this magnitude could take place, after the Harry Styles concert last Friday generated chaos of mobility both at its entrances and on the way home for the 65,000 attendees, with long queues and the Collapsed M-45 motorway.

In addition, they point out that the organization of the Reggaeton Beach Festival presented today a mobility plan that the consistory considered “incomplete”, and the Madrid City Council Fire Department has also issued an unfavorable report. Finally, they also ensure that the event did not have “authorization to exceed the maximum decibels established in the Noise ordinance”. This reggaeton festival was expected to gather approximately 40,000 people on each of its two days.

The next event scheduled for Iberdrola Music in Villaverde is the Coca-Cola Music Experience festival, scheduled for September 1 and 2, with a lineup led by Quevedo, Yungblud and Ava Max. Now their eyes are also on the organization of this event, and on whether they manage to transfer a mobility plan that manages to convince the Madrid City Council. The viability of this new venue also depends on it so that it can continue to host musical events.

How to claim ticket money

At this time, the organization of the Reggaeton Beach Festival has not yet ruled on this cancellation, and they have not yet detailed the method to recover the amount of the tickets. It is to be hoped that they will soon release their own statement and explain the steps to follow to obtain the money back, in case it is not an automatic process.

As reported by FACUA, consumers have the right to recover their money in case of cancellation of a festival, and the organization has a maximum period of 60 days to offer an alternative, such as a change of date or access to another event. , something that could be optionally accepted by the user, but always without giving up the right to recover their money if they prefer.

• General elections 2023: last minute on the debate on TVE, Feijóo and Sánchez, 23J live

There is less left for the general elections on July 23 and, although the majority of citizens have decided their vote, there is still a key moment to hear what the parties propose for the next four years. This debate comes after the face to face of Sánchez and Feijóo on Antena 3, and the meeting between the spokespersons of the seven main political formations that have their own group in Congress -PP, PSOE, Vox, EH Bildu, PNV, ERC and Sumar -, which was broadcast on RTVE.

Thus, once again RTVE will celebrate this Wednesday, July 19, the final electoral debate before 23-J. It will be a three-way meeting between the candidates for the presidency of the Government, Pedro Sánchez (PSOE), Santiago Abascal (Vox) and Yolanda Díaz (Sumar).

'23J, the final debate', this Wednesday at 10 p.m. on RTVE.

The candidates for the presidency of the Government of the PSOE (Pedro Sánchez), Vox (Santiago Abascal) and Sumar (Yolanda Díaz) will participate. https://t.co/0vTUYgNwDT

The meeting will be moderated by the journalist Xabier Fortes and will be broadcast at 10:00 p.m. on La 1, Canal 24 horas, TVE Internacional, Radio Nacional, Radio 5, Radio Exterior, the RTVE.es website and the RTVE Play platform.. It will take place in the Prado del Rey studio 6 and will last 90 minutes, divided into three large 24-minute blocks: economy, social policies and pacts.. In addition, at the end each of the candidates will have a golden minute.

Feijoó raised “a debate to seven”

The opening and closing turns of each block and the positions of the candidates for the presidency of the Government on the set have been established by lottery. The stopwatches to measure the times of the interventions, as indicated on the RTVE website, will be managed by professional sports referees.

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has declined to participate in the RTVE proposal of 'Debate to 4'. In an interview on TVE, he stressed that his formation raised “a seven-person debate” so that Pedro Sánchez's “partners” were also present, but he “refused”, since, according to what he said, “it seems that only he is interested in bringing” Yolanda Díaz and Santiago Abascal to that debate.

It may sound like political archaeology, but it's not.. On March 30, 1995, almost three decades ago now, the Congressional Budget Committee, then chaired by Rodolfo Martín Villa, approved the report issued by the paper that drafted the so-called Pact of Toledo, which owes its name to the fact that it was agreed in the tourist inn of the city of the three cultures. Presentation, by the way, that was born as an initiative of CiU when it was a state party.

During his speech, the spokesman for the Popular Party, former minister Juan Carlos Aparicio, then in the opposition, said bluntly: “The sincerity of intentions is demonstrated through the facts and it is time to show that we are all willing to move away from electoral and partisan battles matters as important and socially sensitive as pensions”. It is evident that it was another Spain.

One of the essential points of the Toledo Pact was, indeed, that such a delicate issue — today there are 9.02 million pensioners who receive an average of 1,319.41 euros — had to be removed from the electoral battle. Another of the relevant recommendations was that pensions should be revalued by the same amount as prices, and that is what happened.

In July 1997, already with Aznar in Moncloa, the so-called Law for the Consolidation and Rationalization of the Social Security System was approved, which made it clear that “pensions in their contributory modality, including the amount of the minimum pension, will be revalued at the beginning of each year, based on the corresponding consumer price index forecast for said year”, and if the CPI was higher than estimated, “the corresponding update will be carried out”. In other words, the possibility that pensioners could lose purchasing power was not contemplated, despite the fact that in those years Spain was struggling to enter the first phase of monetary union, which required reducing the public deficit to 3% of GDP..

For a few years, not many, the central parties of the system more or less followed the script, but the successive crises that the Spanish economy has had to deal with so far this century have blown up that principle..

the easy way

The paradox is that in each of its renewals —three since 1995— it is always remembered that among the 15 initial recommendations of the Toledo Pact was, indeed, the commitment that the parties will adopt the necessary measures to ensure the viability and sufficiency of the system. of pensions and, in parallel, “avoid electoral use of the pension system by the easy way of promising unrealizable improvements or sowing doubts about the intention or the capacity of the political adversary to guarantee the survival of the public pension system”.

It is evident that this has not been the case.. The next turn of the screw occurred a year later, when the same Government, also unilaterally, although with the approval of unions and employers, delayed the retirement age to 67 years.

the evil was done. What was intended to be done by consensus, given that this is a particularly sensitive issue —pensioners are not in a position to find alternative incomes when they are retired— has finally ended like a rosary at dawn. Everyone shoots at everyone, which reflects that the Toledo Pact is a dead letter.

The Popular Party took the next step and its pension reform of December 2013 culminated in a law with a somewhat cumbersome name —Regulating Law for the Sustainability Factor and the Revaluation Index of the Social Security Pension System— which, in short, condemned to raise pensions by 0.25% (minimum and maximum) until the pension system was financially healthy, something truly complicated as baby boomers approached retirement age. And most singularly, the rise would be independent of the evolution of the CPI.

The significance of that reform was once again the inconsistency of the PP, which if in 2011 it voted against the increase in the retirement age together with EH Bildu, ERC, UPyD or IU, a few months later it did not touch a comma when it reached the Government with absolute majority. The dirty work had been done by the previous Executive.

It is not necessary to go through the Harvard School of Economics or be an expert in political sociology to understand that article 7 of said law, the one that included that 0.25%, could only be sustained if inflation was very low or, of course, , negative. And that is what happened until 2018, the year in which prices rose again, although of course by a much lower amount than in recent years.. And it was precisely —surprises that life gives— a PP government that overturned its own norm. The latest budgets from the Rajoy era, approved just a few weeks before Sánchez's arrival at Moncloa, already included an increase of between 1% and 3%, although not only that.. In full reversal of its own laws, the PP not only breached its initial law, but also froze the sustainability factor until 2023, the application of which would have meant an additional cut in pensions, taking into account factors such as demographics and hope of life.

The cards in the deck

Pensions definitely entered the political carousel, but not to find joint solutions in Parliament, which was what was intended with the Toledo Pact, but rather to establish a position. The most singular case is that of the Popular Party, which in the almost 30 years of life of the Toledo Pact has played with all the cards in the deck. Sometimes supporting a revaluation of pensions in line with the CPI, on other occasions approving their freezing in practice (that 0.25%) and lately moving in no man's land.

What came out of the last meeting of the Toledo Pact —November 2020— was the following (second recommendation): “The Commission defends the maintenance of the purchasing power of pensioners through the annual revaluation of their pensions based on the real CPI, as well as as its guarantee by law and its preservation through the adoption of measures to ensure the future social and financial balance of the system..

Who or who approved this recommendation? Well, basically the entire Chamber, except for the two anti-capitalist deputies of the CUP, who voted against, and the abstention of Vox, ERC, EH Bildu, Foro Asturias and the BNG. In total, 262 votes in favor.

With this broad backing, one might expect the pension controversy to be buried for some time, but given the way the campaign is going, that doesn't appear to be the case.. Obviously, because a black swan has appeared, which is called inflation, which has served, once again, to establish a position. There is no doubt that the Government's and it is embodied in a law: all pensions, regardless of their amount, must rise the same as the CPI. It is more difficult to know that of the PP, which plays with ambiguity. It does not say that it will repeal the norm if it reaches Moncloa, but to wear down the Government it suggests that the pension system as it is designed today is unsustainable, which gives rise to suspicions that if something is not sustainable, adjustments will come , and the lion's share, obviously, is revaluation in an inflationary context.

This is, precisely, the chaos in which Feijóo lives, and hence the erratic nature of his comments and the origin of his slip, not to use another adjective, on TVE. Playing Galician in such a serious matter, however, does not seem reasonable. It already happened to Pablo Casado, who with his policy of harassment and demolition of the Government reached the inconsistency of voting against the recommendations of the Toledo Pact that his parliamentary group had approved.

“Your Honor, the recommendations of the Toledo Pact are not perfect, and we know it,” said Deputy Cabezón Casas, spokesman for the PP on pension reform, in plenary session, “but we can proudly say that this agreement strengthens Social Security and Its fundamental principles: public pay-as-you-go system, intergenerational solidarity and single fund”. As far as is known, the current law does not break any of these principles, but the popular group —its spokesperson was once again the deputy Cabezón Casas— voted in favor of returning the bill to the Executive.

Obviously, he did not succeed, but that gesture makes the ambiguity in which the PP lives in terms of pensions very clear, Yes, but no. as preferred. there is only one thing clear.

The family of the Valencian musician Javier Mustieles, keyboard player in groups such as Mocedades or Tennessee, has denounced that the General Hospital of Valencia, where he died on July 5, decided that he should be buried in a tomb of the Valencian cemetery charity five days after his death without notifying his family despite having a contact.

This is how the ex-wife of the deceased musician, Alicia Renales, explains it to EFE, who points out that she has put the case in the hands of her lawyer and will file a complaint with the Hospital because she says she “does not understand” the “rush to bury” the body of her ex-husband and father of their son, aged 16, when he was “perfectly identified” because he had documentation.

From the General Hospital they have informed EFE that in the center “all the protocol has been complied with, an attempt was made to locate a relative without success”, and they add that it was a “delicate situation”..

“The Police were contacted, who provided a telephone number that was called repeatedly, as well as institutions to find out if anyone knew him and someone could be located,” they add.. “When the family came, all the actions that had been taken were explained to them,” they point out from the hospital.

The ex-wife of the Valencian musician has explained that he entered the hospital on the afternoon of July 4 suffering from a serious illness that he had for some time; He died the following night, on July 6 they began to process his burial with the City Council and, according to the Civil Registry certificate, he was buried on the 10th, as reported by the newspaper Las Provincias on Tuesday..

“I told the social worker: what a hurry were you in? Because he was identified, he had all his documentation, they found his SIP number and a brother's phone number, but they couldn't contact him because he was moving, he received many calls and he didn't answer to the mobile. It was an accumulation of calamities”, he points out to wonder if “the administration can make such hasty decisions”.

As he explains, on the 10th, early in the morning, a co-worker called the hospital because they had a performance in Navarra, but after the hospital refused to give him information, another co-worker went to the General and there they finally told him that he had died..

It was then that the family found out about his death, since his work colleagues asked the time of the burial, explains the musician's ex-wife, who adds that her contact with Javier, who was constantly doing concerts, was once a week..

Javier had a “deep depression” and a “chronic illness that embarrassed him” and for this reason, when the social workers asked him, he told them that he had no family, recalls Alicia, who adds that her ex-husband wanted to be cremated, but they will not be able to bury your body for five years.

“I understand that you have not provided a number, but the job of the social worker is to find a relative and even if your brother has not answered at first they should have continued to insist – he laments -. If they have undocumented corpses for months in the warehouse, what a hurry had to bury Javier in five days”.

“He had family and he had friends, but it gives me the feeling that he was prejudged and they screwed up to the bottom,” he criticizes.

Juan Luis Cano is right when he maintains that the Virgin never appears on the surface, at street level, on land, on solid ground. He has studied the phenomenon of Marian miracles to document his latest novel Yo fui santa, and the case of El Escorial fully agrees with him.. Also there, in the miraculous area of Prado Nuevo, the mother of Christ appeared in the top of a tree, an ash tree.. That is why the parishioners surround and cordon it off in a gesture of piety and idolatry that contains at the same time the ancient pagan devotion to the tree itself..

And Juan Luis Cano is right when he emphasizes the tendency of the Virgin to climb. A tree is worth as much as a cliff. Since you appear, it is better to do it in a position of relevance, where the miracle is more evident, just like the false San Dimas in Los jueves, milagro de Berlanga.

It is rigor, the Virgin does not rise or ascend in her apparitions. What it does is descend. It proceeds and comes from the heavens. Landing would be an exercise in prosaism. Too much dust and humanity.

I recommend reading Yo fui santa (Menoscuarto editorial) for its literary substance and its irony, although Juan Luis Cano's novel also serves as an orientation manual to understand the phenomenon of fanaticism that has been consolidated in the suburbs of Prado Nuevo.

I have been tempted to access the miracle site many times —a crossing point on the motorbike route to Cruz Verde—, but I did not do so until last weekend, perhaps suggested by reading Yo fui santa y disponido a comparar the casuistic similarity of the Marian apparitions.

I bring my own authority on the matter because I have been in Fatima, Lourdes and Medjugorje. Being does not mean believing. It means having disciplined myself to the tasks of a correspondent in Rome, including the trips of John Paul II to the most popular places of apparitions..

It is impressive to visit them because the supernatural expectations, the pious atmosphere, suffer from business and commercial desecration. Christ would drive out the merchants with the whip. Also, probably, he would be suspicious of the credulity with which the faithful of Prado Nuevo travel and pray.

The area where the Virgin appeared to Luz Amparo on June 14, 1981 has been growing among parishioners and tourists of the faith.. It was the beginning of an unusual bilateral bond that lasted 375 times longer. It would be said that the Virgin appeared to him by routine, as if she had nothing else to do.

Juan Luis Cano tells us in Yo fui santa that the Church reacts in a similar way when paranormal phenomena occur. They are first rejected. Then he condescends with them. And finally they are approved, especially when the influx of the faithful and the hysteria of the masses exceed any scope of normative regulation..

It has happened in Prado Nuevo. The same cardinal who initially abjured the word and the testimony of Luz Amparo, Monsignor Rouco Varela, promoted the construction of the adoration chapel in 2012.

The secular forces and the Justice intervened to demolish it eight years later because it was an abusive building, but the judicial punishment is not enough to neutralize the proliferation of faithful or the massive congregation of Marian devotees in the vicinity of the sacred ash tree, on the itinerary Via Crucis and in the tomb of Luz Amparo Cuevas.

The visionary passed away in August 2012 in praise of holiness. And he left behind a supernatural message that the Virgin conveyed to him three decades earlier. We expected a little more from such a relevant phenomenon. The text is disappointing in its purposes and even in its language: “I am the Sorrowful Virgin. I want a chapel to be built in this place in honor of my name; that the passion of my Son, which is very forgotten, come to meditate from anywhere in the world. If you do what I say, the water from this spring will heal. Everyone who comes here to pray the Holy Rosary daily will be blessed by me. Many will be marked with a cross on their foreheads. Do penance. pray”. Miracles in exchange for faith. Holy water as an attraction to the disbelievers. The faithful of Prado Nuevo highlight the pure atmosphere of the holy place, but my impression has been rather the opposite. And neither the security cameras in the trees nor the megalomania that identifies the tomb of Luz Amparo help to dispel doubts.

An awards ceremony from the Government to the Government itself five days before a general election. The Minister of Justice, Pilar Llop, presented this Tuesday decorations of the Order of San Raimundo de Peñafort to a whole string of senior officials, including former First Vice President and former Minister of the Presidency Carmen Calvo. Also to the Secretary of State for Security, Rafael Pérez Ruiz, and at least three of his subordinates in the ministry: the Secretary of State for Justice, Tontxu Rodríguez, the director of his cabinet and figure of his complete confidence, Rafael Pérez García, and the Secretary General for Innovation and Quality of the Public Justice Service, Manuel Olmedo. The event was held at the Parcent Palace and was attended by the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska.

The Cross of the Order of San Raimundo de Peñafort is a civil decoration that rewards “the relevant merits of those who intervene in the Administration of Justice and in the cultivation and application of the study of law in all its branches, as well as the services rendered in legal activities dependent on the Ministry of Justice”. The concession proposals depend on a government board chaired by Llop herself and the Council of Ministers must give its approval later. Despite being a decoration that is not pensioned, the sources consulted highlight its prestige and curricular value in the legal field.

As pointed out from the Interior, the Council of Ministers approved the delivery of the cross to the Secretary of State for Security on June 27 “in attention to the merits and circumstances that concur in his person”. They did so in the category of first class distinguished cross, which is the third highest in the order and “is attached to the title of lordship”.. Regarding Rodríguez, Pérez and Olmedo, El Confidencial contacted the Ministry of Justice to try to clarify the date on which the Council of Ministers approved the decorations and in what category they have been awarded, without obtaining a response..

This Tuesday, the president of the Court of Accounts, Enriqueta Chicano, who was elected in 2021 at the proposal of the PSOE, and the former president of the Constitutional Court Juan José González Rivas, among others, were also awarded.. The agreement of the Council of Ministers that agreed to deliver it to the latter has been in the BOE since June 28: “In attention to the merits and circumstances that concur in Mr. Juan José González Rivas, at the proposal of the Minister of Justice, and prior deliberation of the Council of Ministers at its meeting on June 27, 2023, I come to grant you the Grand Cross of the Order of San Raimundo de Peñafort”.

The great cross is the highest ranking award within the Order of San Raimundo de Peñafort. Below are the cross of honor, the distinguished cross of first and second class, the simple cross and the medal of merit for Justice.. The Secretary of State for Security received the first distinction, which is with which “services related to any of the functions attributed to the Ministry of Justice are awarded, provided that they are deemed worthy of said reward”.

The sources consulted stress that it is not a decoration designed for political positions and even less for subordinates of the minister herself, so this delivery has caused discomfort among part of the judiciary and the academic field.. Added to this is the fact that the event was held just five days before the elections and that the Ministry of the Interior itself celebrated the award to the Secretary of State for Security through social networks.. From the Ministry of Justice, they also explained at first that they would provide a press release with the “most notable” winners, but at the time of publication of this article, it has not yet been sent..

Vox has hit a last-minute squeeze in the negotiation of the fine print of the coalition government with the Popular Party in the Valencian Community. Those of Santiago Abascal want the three ministries awarded to them in the agreement (Agriculture, Justice and Culture, the latter with the rank of vice-presidency) to come under their control without being mutilated in their powers, as the popular ones have slipped since that the document that guaranteed Carlos Mazón the presidency of the Generalitat was signed. Since then, although it was not explicit in the agreement, it has been taken for granted in areas of the PP that the environment and water would be separated from Agriculture, that the Vice President of Culture, Vicente Barrera, would not have powers over the policies of Historical Heritage, the Valencian Library or the book and that the relationship with officials would be split from Justice to end up in the Treasury, in the hands of the popular.

However, this Tuesday, the head of the Vox list for Congress for Valencia, Carlos Flores, issued a revealing warning of the hidden pulse for the competitions that has been taking place in recent days.. In an appearance before the media prior to an electoral act and without prior question, the ultra-conservative candidate warned: “What we want is that the distribution of tasks, the distribution of responsibilities in that Government, be a distribution with the terms that we signed now a month ago. If Vox is going to assume responsibilities in matters of Culture, in matters of Agriculture and Justice and Public Administrations, it should do so in the integrity of what any minimally trained citizen understands to be Agriculture, Justice or Culture. A balanced cast between two loyal partners. I don't think it can be any other way and that's how we hope tomorrow,” he said after pointing out that “some will be more aware of the names. Vox is more aware of the distribution of powers”.

In the words of Flores, many clues were already coming. In the case of the Ministry of Justice, the government pact talks about Justice, the Interior and the Interior. The allusion to “Public Administration” points to the powers in the relationship with officials (Public Service). It is a sensitive area that the PP wanted to reserve so as not to find surprises or fires beyond its control. Part of Vox's objectives would have already been met, as El Confidencial has learned. While waiting to know the complete distribution of powers, Vicente Barrera's team has informed that of the outgoing Minister of Education and Culture, Raquel Tamarit, that the former bullfighter will fully assume the powers of Culture, including the General Directorate of Heritage, of the which depends on the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia, the restoration and conservation of buildings and cultural assets, the Valencian Library and the book policy. This would be added to what was taken for granted that would end up under the umbrella of Barrera, the Valencian Institute of Culture, the IVAM or the Palau de les Artes, which the popular had also considered taking directly to the Presidency in the face of doubts about the plans by Vox.

The president of the Valencian Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, announces this Wednesday morning the composition of his coalition government. The new Council will have 10 portfolios, including the Presidency, and four or five councilors will be women, according to sources from the Popular Party. It is not officially admitted, but the search for parity aims to counter the controversies in recent weeks over the agreement with the ultra-conservatives, deniers of gender violence. In the same key, Mazón announced last week in his inauguration speech that equality policies will have the rank of vice-presidency, in a department that will group social policies and that a woman linked to the Popular Party will occupy.. The names that are being considered, without confirmation, are that of the Secretary of State for Social Affairs with Mariano Rajoy, Susana Camarero, or that of the regional deputy Elena Bastidas.

That area will have the rank of second vice-presidency. On paper, it will be below the first of Vicente Barrera, the theoretical strong man of Vox. But in practice the PP councilor will have much more real weight. Until now, the portfolio was occupied by Aitana Mas (Compromís) and was endowed with more than 2,300 million euros, but it could also add the area of cooperation for development and housing, managed by Unidas Podemos in the Consell del Botànic. In fact, the former purple ministers Héctor Illueca and Rosa Pérez, or their representing undersecretaries, have been summoned on Thursday for the transfer of portfolios in the vice presidency.

Nuria Montes in Industry

The PP has reserved the portfolios with the greatest economic weight, both in budget terms and in relation to the productive sectors. The former spokesperson for Ciudadanos and now an independent deputy for the PP, Ruth Merino, could rise to Minister of Finance, although there is also speculation for this position with the professor at the Miguel Hernández de Elche University and director of the tax agency of the Provincial Council of Alicante , Jose Antonio Belso. It is taken for granted that the current general secretary of the Hosbec hotel management, Nuria Montes, will be responsible for a new Department of Industry, Tourism and Innovation, which will add powers from the current Innovation and Economy departments and will be based in Alicante. Of these two, Universities and all employment policies (Labor) will be separated, which will be integrated into Education. That of Montes is a personal bet of Mazón that is viewed with some suspicion by other economic sectors and by subsectors of the tourism sector itself, such as tourist accommodation, in conflict with hoteliers..

Waiting for what happens with the environment and water, if they finally leave the orbit of Vox in Agriculture, Territory or Infrastructures is another of the areas that could be directed by a woman. The name of the councilor of Castellón, Salomé Pradas, is being considered. For Health, the ministry with the most budgets, the names of Marciano Gómez, who was already a strong man in the department in the Eduardo Zaplana stage, and Francisco Ponce, former general director of the Murcian Health Service, are being considered..

On the Vox side, the names that are being considered, in addition to Barrera, are that of the regional deputy José Luis Aguirre in Agriculture and the lawyer Belén Gil, daughter of the provincial president of Vox, Ignacio Gil Lázaro, in Justice.
