Among other objectives, so that when the

Government left, socialism would not find itself “with nothing.” the sources consulted by ecd comment that the disenchantment with the ideas foundation is such that even some senior socialist official has considered “creating another faes in the psoe.” it is not forgotten on ferraz street that both foundations, that of the pp and that of the psoe, carried out an unusual initiative in february: confronting their respective 'brains' in matters of energy, to debate the energy model of the future . And in that face to face those from faes far surpassed those from ideas. The impression now is that the ideas foundation will not attend any other similar confrontation with its 'rivals'.The reporters who go to the moncloa palace every friday to cover the briefing that is held after the government meeting, have immediately appreciated these changes, a new 'style' that has these differences with respect to what de la vega practiced. : -- rubalcaba arrives at the living room practically alone . Specifically, he does not carry with him the 'court' that used to accompany fernández de la vega's entries. -- he does not read the agreements that the government has made , because he considers that the written reference is already given to journalists and that is enough. Which shortens the session and makes it less burdensome.



He barely carries papers, he barely reads . At his first press conference he arrived without a single note, armed only with a pen, and improvised, after stating, as an excuse that some did not believe, that the notes he had prepared on the computer Special Database had been deleted. -- by contrast, fernández de la vega appeared with a large folder , in which everything was written. He even added the “good afternoon” of the initial greeting. -at question time, rubalcaba does not have 'favorite' journalists , unlike what happened with her predecessor, who followed a repeated routine every week: she began by giving the floor to the same ones (almost always 'the same ones'). - he has eliminated the 'corrillos' , that is, the informal conversation at the end of the press conference, surrounded by journalists, which de la vega used to allow, and which was an opportunity to address other issues, clarify approaches and achieve some 'off'. The record'. At those moments, the vice president expressed herself more openly. Disgruntled informants the 'style' imposed by rubalcaba in the friday press conferences has its detractors among the regular journalists at la moncloa .







One of the complaints is precisely the elimination of the 'corrillos' . The argument given by the new spokesperson was that they were “dangerous . ” and, in fact, de la vega even complained on some occasion that what was discussed in those asides was later published in the media. Another criticism is that, when he answers questions, he makes 'funny' comments that, given the ability of today's vice president, often leave the journalist who raised the issue confused, and even 'look bad'. Many believe that he does it on purpose. Furthermore, he interrupts the questions with comments and taglines …in the presentation prepared by the government on the actions promoted by spain during the six months at the head of the european union , the creation of this organization , which was going to be based in vienna , was highlighted on the first pages . Its impetus implied “ a recognition by the european representatives of spain's work in this regard and the need to transfer them to a common policy within the eu.” the cabinet of josé luis rodríguez zapatero was hasty in assuming that the project, defended by bibiana aído, was going to be carried out immediately.
