Pedro Sánchez puts eleven ministers on the list to Congress: Margarita Robles will go second
Along with Robles, Félix Bolaños and Fernando Grande-Marlaska will also be on the Madrid PSOE list.
The Minister of Defence, Margarita Robles , will be second in Madrid , behind Pedro Sánchez, and most of the ministers have been placed in starting positions, on several lists to Congress.
In addition to Robles' position, the main novelty of the list of candidates to be approved on Saturday by the PSOE Federal Committee is that the Socialists have closed the location of the "heavyweights" in Sanchez's cabinet:
- Felix Bolaños, Minister of the Presidency, third in Madrid.
- Pilar Sánchez Acera, PSOE Secretary of Organization in Madrid: fourth in Madrid.
- Fernando Grande Marlaska, Minister of the Interior, fifth in Madrid.
- Manuela Villa, member of the socialist executive, sixth in Madrid.
- Rafael Simancas, Secretary of State for Relations with the Courts, seventh in Madrid.
- Aranzazu Figueroa, Secretary General of Socialist Youth, eighth in Madrid.
- Borja Cabezón, Deputy Secretary of Organization of the PSOE, ninth in Madrid.
- José Manuel Albares, Minister of Foreign Affairs, head of list for Cadiz.
- Oscar Puente, Minister of Transport, head of list for Valladolid.
- Ana Redondo, Minister for Equality, second in Valladolid.
- Milagros Tolón, Minister of Education, head of list for Toledo.
- Isabel Rodriguez, Minister of Housing, head of list for Ciudad Real.
- Jordi Hereu, Minister of Industry, head of list for Barcelona.
- Eva Granados, Secretary of State for International Cooperation, second in Barcelona (probably).
- Montse Minguez, PSOE spokesperson, head of list for Lleida.
- Pilar Bernabé, PSOE Equality Secretary, head of list for Valencia.
- Arcadi España, Minister of Finance, second in Valencia.
- Rebeca Torro, Secretary of Socialist Organization, third in Valencia.
- Patxi Lopez, PSOE spokesperson in Congress: head of list for Bizkaia.
With these names, most of Sanchez's socialist ministers would be guaranteed a seat in the Congress hemicycle, which will be set up since the elections on 29 November, although the party's Federal Committee will have to approve the lists on Saturday.
However, the Federal List Commission of the PSOE will be able to intervene the day before, having to give its approval to the candidates of the territorial committees and having the capacity to make changes.
