The PSOE awaits the executive meeting next Monday so that Pedro Sánchez, once the Basque elections are over, formally confirms an impression that both the party and the Government take for granted. The election of the third vice president and minister for the Ecological Transition (Madrid, 1969) would be a declaration of intentions.

Ribera would raise the flag of the fight against climate change in the face of the climate ambiguity of the PP and the denialism of Vox. Her contribution to the reform of the electricity market after the price crisis due to the war in Ukraine is another of her strengths. The federal committee, the highest body of the PSOE between congresses, will approve it on April 27. The day before, the federal list commission is scheduled to meet to close the candidacy. And this coming Saturday, April 20, the deadline for party groups to propose their candidates ends. Ribera has become the most likely option to head the list for the Europeans, especially after Josep Borrell, a candidate in 2019, refused to repeat. The rise of the far right may affect the balance of power of the European political families. The next European Parliament will foreseeably have a very conservative bias, but if Ribera is successful, he would become the nemesis of Santiago Abascal's partners throughout Europe. And in the guarantee that the EU would not take steps back in its environmental policies. Or at least contain them.Join EL PAS to follow all the news and read without limits.

The vice president was the first candidate that Sánchez had in mind, but the president's intention to remain in the Government led the president to test Borrell to repeat as head of the list.
