MADRID: Spain’s premier, whose Socialist party has been lagging in opinion polls, on Saturday reshuffled his government, unveiling a younger cabinet dominated by women that he vowed would preside over a post-Covid economic revival.
"The revival government begins today,’ Pedro Sanchez said as he presented the reshuffle, the first since his left-wing minority coalition came to power in January 2020.
His coalition, made up of Socialists and the radical-left Podemos party, trails the conservatives in opinion polls.
Unveiling the new cabinet, Sanchez said it represented "a generational renewal" because the mean age of the ministers was now 50 instead of 55.
