The importance of the figure that Felix Bolaños acquires, the new Minister of the Presidency, relations with the courts and democratic memory, is revealed in the representation that came to its takeover, which supposes the exit of Carmen Calvo of the Executive. Up to 10 government members, including the three vice-presidenties, the new head of Cabinet of Pedro Sánchez, Óscar López, and even former President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. One of the firm men of the executive, manager of the machine room and the coordination between ministries, wanted to leave a message in the taking of him: "To be minister should not be requested nor can it be rejected."

The Calado of the Government Crisis executed by Sánchez has surprised many, even in the presidential complex. Some names were expected, but others do not. There are changes on which are installed there are uncertainties or found versions, such as the departure of Round Ivan, until now Sánchez's cabin chief -sobre If he asked to leave, asked to be minister, he was offered to be minister- or José Luis Ábalos as a headline of transport, which has surprised in the PSOE.

They were also the president of Extremadura, Guillermo Fernández Vara, and the government's expression José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.

This Tuesday, July 13 was scheduled for the Council of Ministers to approve the Democratic Memocratic Law that drove Carmen Calvo in the second round. However, the government crisis executed by Pedro Sánchez makes it frozen. Government sources explain that the purpose of the new presidency minister, Felix Bolaños, wants to study it carefully, supervise it.

It is considered that it is a transcendental initiative and, therefore, you want to review well. The idea is just to postpone your approval and that it can be seen by the cabinet before the summer paron.
