The 22 ministers who make up the new coalition Government posed this Wednesday in the traditional family photo on the steps of the Moncloa Palace with Pedro Sánchez before holding their first meeting. In it, the president has given each of them a letter in which he warns them against the opposition.
“We are not alien to the current political climate, a climate exacerbated by those who not only deny the original legitimacy of this Executive, but also seek to question its legitimacy of exercise. To the tension, we will respond with work. To the interested noise, with dialogue and outstretched hand. To disqualification and insult, with a sincere appeal to the harmony and coexistence that the vast majority of society longs for,” he states in said letter.
Furthermore, Sánchez has outlined the priorities of this legislature, among which he has highlighted the “modernization and transformation of the productive fabric in a green and digital key to move towards full employment”; “strengthen the welfare state”, “improve access to housing, especially for young people”; “continue promoting a just ecological transition”; and consolidate the country “as a reference in real and effective equality between men and women.”
Within these objectives, the president also sets the goal of “advancing the reunion agenda to guarantee harmony”, without explicitly mentioning the Amnesty Law: “We will work tirelessly to continue strengthening coexistence in this open, diverse and plural Spain, making territorial diversity a cohesive factor to overcome the confrontation and confrontation that has caused so much damage.”
“Our response as a Government will be based on hope to banish fear. On enthusiasm to overcome resignation. And on the determined will to move forward in the face of those who seek to retreat by invoking the false security of a mythologized past,” Sánchez concludes in his letter.
