Escrivá's lectern and Montero's duel

The question that social media users have been asking for some time is: what's wrong with Minister Escrivá with the lecterns? It's seeing a plastic totem with a microphone and the current head of Digital Transformation gets nervous. He begins to tremble. For posterity will remain the day when he poured water directly from the bottle into a space where there was no glass. What a moment. He takes it with humor and on Monday he gave us a video with his greatest moments at a lectern from the last legislature. He has no waste.

The fact is that Sánchez has chosen a somewhat disparate council of ministers in terms of the use of social networks. There is, first of all, the president himself, who when he was a rank and file representative did not hold back and tweeted almost everything that happened to him. There are some old recurring messages that resurface every now and then. The one my server likes the most is when he had pizza for dinner at an Italian restaurant in Madrid and tweeted that she was “cool.” Today the place has a specific pizza with that adjective.

In the Government there is a new member who has not hesitated when he picks up his cell phone. It is Óscar Puente, repeatedly attacked by drivers from Valladolid for promoting the implementation of bike lanes in the city that he governed. He is a profile to follow because he is now Minister of Sustainable Transport and the PSOE promised in its electoral program financial aid to buy electric bicycles. Now it seems that he will now use his profile in a more measured way.

It will also be striking to see how the new Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, who has no known experience in social networks, manages her policies, especially communication. The contrast with her predecessor, who likes to fight battle on X, will be interesting. Irene Montero, in fact, took advantage of the transfer of portfolios yesterday to avoid leaving a puppet behind and settle scores with Pedro Sánchez and his forty-year-old friends. She had been waiting for this duel with her and former Government colleagues for a long time and everything indicates that it will not be the last.

The new council of ministers is more political and apparently will be more restrained on social networks. The battles will be fought this term in another venue. Although the five Podemos deputies will always be there, key to any legislative initiative, who already warn that they are not going to moderate when using their cell phones. Show must go on.
