The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, will reinforce the party with four new deputy secretaries, according to PP sources. The popular leader will propose to the Executive Committee of the formation Paloma Martín as vice-secretary of Sustainable Development, Ester Muñoz as vice-secretary of Health and Education, Ana Alós as vice-secretary of Equality and Conciliation, and Noelia Núñez as vice-secretary of Mobilization and Digital Challenge.
These four additions will complete a steering committee of 16 people (10 women and 6 men) in which the president of the PP replaces the deputy secretaries who have assumed responsibilities in the governing bodies in Congress and Senate, and creates new areas to adapt the match the social reality of our country.
The increase in leaders in the new leadership of the PP has caused astonishment in various sectors of the party, who consider that a leadership with ten secretaries, who will all join the steering committee, can make this body, which is the one that meets weekly, important. to establish the strategy of the match. The members of the management consulted expected an expansion of the management, but in the executive committee, with the increase of secretaries, not more secretaries.
The Sustainable Development area, which will be directed by Paloma Martín (1970), will include competences in the environment, energy and housing, among others, with the aim of improving the response of the PP to the challenges linked to climate change, the green economy and responsible urban development. It will also coordinate policies linked to agriculture, livestock and fishing.
Martín, with extensive experience in public management and work in the private sector—she was a director at the consulting firm Deloitte—knows these matters very well since she has been advisor for the Environment, Housing and Agriculture of the Community of Madrid. She is currently a senator.
By creating a specific area of Health and Education, the PP reinforces its commitment to public policies, and enhances one of the key elements of this new political time.

Ana Alós (1969) has developed part of her professional career linked to this subject. Additionally, she worked as an economist in her own company for more than 12 years. She is a deputy and former senator, mayor of Huesca between 2011 and 2015, she has a degree in Economic Sciences from the University of Zaragoza and a master's degree in Business Administration and Management from ICADE.

Noelia Núñez (1992), councilor in the Fuenlabrada City Council, has a double degree in Law and Legal Sciences of Public Administrations, and was vice-spokesperson in the Madrid Assembly. Núñez is an influencer and very close to the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. In this sense, he was the one who had the idea of making t-shirts with the phrase that the president's team ironically used ("I like fruit") to justify the insult ("joputa") that was uttered in Congress to the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, in the investiture debate.
