Look no further than France to find a similar case: Alain Juppé, he combined both offices in the Government of jacques Chirac between 1986 and 1988. The Juppé of Pedro Sanchez named Maria Jesus Montero (Seville, 53 years). Premiere that double liability is not without its risks, as it is supposed that ministers of Finance should be to exercise a prudent discretion, and the spokesmen speak much, at almost all hours and all should know.

In case, the PP undergoes from a few months ago, a constant criticism: the failed in the Parliament. And the PSOE of Andalusia are waiting; they do not know well to whom, but hope to.
