However, although both have been in contact for years, their first meeting in person took place last week, an anecdote that the Catalan jokingly related.

The one who was the driver of Save me He has clarified the true relationship that unites him with the leader of the Executive and, of course, he has done so with his usual tone: using humor and sarcasm. “I would like to clarify, to begin with, the relationship I have with the president, Pedro Sánchez, because There are many people who think that we see each other every weekendthat we are going on vacation together, that I am his advisor…”, the one from Badalona advanced, causing the first laughs from the public.

“He entered by telephone in Save me in 2014, and I saw Pedro Sánchez in person last Tuesday at the Moncloa, when we met with Ángeles to prepare the book – its presentation -. It has taken us almost ten years to get to know each other. No man has lasted me this long, So I think that the secret to the survival of a relationship is not seeing each other,” the communicator pointed out, once again making those present laugh, including the president, who nodded smiling at these statements.

The effects of politics on your marriage

Throughout the talk they seemed very comfortable, talking with sympathy and cracking jokes between confessions, like the one the president shared about his wife, Begoña Gomez.

“The life of a politician's partner is very difficult, because in the end they end up exposed, in the case of Begoña exposed, to political criticism. Because it effectively has a political purpose, which is to erode your partner, and Begoña does not have the political tools to be able to defend herself. He cannot go out and stand behind a lectern in a gallery. […] There is an asymmetry that makes the partners of political leaders very vulnerable,” Sánchez said about the consequences of his work on his marriage.

His opinion on Irene Montero and Santiago Abascal

At the event, Sánchez also spoke about Irene Montero, who left the Ministry of Equality at the start of the investiture. “I have a good relationship with her and I respect her work and the work she has done in a difficult context. We ministers are links in the same chain and cause, which is equality,” said the president, who believes that “feminism must be vindictive, activist, be two steps ahead of society”. And he has also given his opinion on one of the latest statements of Santiago Abascalwho in an interview said that “there will be a moment when the people will want to hang him by his feet” (to Sánchez).

“It is extremely serious. Abascal doesn't say it just because, it's not a lapse. He wants us to be talking about this today. It must be remembered that the leader of Vox was going to be vice president of the Government of Spain. And this has to make the opposition leader reflect. Tell the media that there are no fights, there are insulters and insulted people. “That Spain that he talks so much about is very minority,” the PSOE leader said about the president of Vox.
