First rumors about laura rodríguez espinosa's absence arose following the visit of the national soccer team to the la moncloa palace after winning the world cup in south africa. It happened that, when the official photos of the spanish team were taken, she was not in those groups. It was a deliberate decision , precisely to avoid those photographs , but later, already inside the palace and without the presence of journalists, zapatero's daughters were there, and even laura received as a gift one of the red shirts, with the number seven and signed by his 'idol', david villa.Despite his recent comments, saying that he is traveling “the last meters” of his political career, the current first vice president of the government has not ruled out opting to sit in the moncloa palace as 'number one'. He is not opposed to that possibility, but he will only do it (with the prerequisite of going first in the socialist candidates) if they demand it . Sources with direct and regular access to the first vice president, who have first-hand information, to which el confidencial digital has had access, summarize alfredo pérez rubalcaba 's position as follows : -- if they ask him, he will take the step and present himself as a candidate. -- this possibility is raised only in the event that, when the time comes, they come to him and say: “we need you” , “zp does not want to repeat” , “it is a delicate moment” , “the party asks you to do it”.
- if these certain circumstances occur (zapatero's clear wear and tear and withdrawal) and the hard core of the psoe asks for it... They will say yes . -- if he sees that he has to 'work', he is not going to make an effort to be a candidate . -- rubalcaba is not Special Database going to mount an operation. He is not going to move, nor is he going to run, nor is he going to set up palace intrigues... Those are the messages that the first vice president is transmitting to his most trusted entourage . With zp better than with gonzález according to the sources consulted by ecd , one of the reasons that explain that rubalcaba is not willing to 'conspire' is that at the moment he feels satisfied, and even 'happy' , in his current situation as first vice president. In fact, he confesses to those closest to him that he has never been happier than now that he is number two. Not even with felipe gonzález did he work as comfortably , as in tune as he is now doing with zapatero. What he says is that he is really delighted , to the point that he would like to see this combination produced again. That is to say: that zapatero repeats as a candidate in 2012, that the psoe wins the general elections, and he once again becomes number two in the new government . He assures that first vice president (and spokesperson) is his dream position , the ideal.
Likewise, rubalcaba states that he has achieved a special empathy with zapatero . And he comments that he had never worked so comfortably with any socialist leader, not even with felipe gonzález. There is great connection and complicity with the president, while with gonzález his work was more uncomfortable: it was much more difficult to understand him and get things done. Alfredo pérez rubalcaba even comments that this “is the happiest moment of his political life . ” although he also recognizes that this is a difficult situation , with which he is falling economically and with the succession of events with which he is having to deal. But he feels in his element , he seems delighted with these tasks. Regarding the decision on who will finally be a socialist candidate in the general elections, the sources consulted repeat that there will be no news in the short or medium term . “it will still take time to clear up this mystery,” they add. And regarding the possibility of maneuvers and 'conspiracies', he adds that, while rubalcaba has renounced any movement, josé bono could try , for example. They don't rule it out.
