Carmen Calvo

Carmen Calvo served as Vice President of the Spanish Government under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez from 2018 to 2020. Upon Sánchez's arrival to power via a motion of censure in 2018, Calvo was appointed to the position, wielding considerable influence. Her responsibilities included overseeing the Ministry of the Presidency and Relations with the Cortes, managing negotiations with parliamentary groups, and directing equality policies. Recent news articles highlight this initial period of Sánchez's government and Calvo's prominent role within it. While not directly involved in current events, her previous position is referenced when discussing the evolution of Sánchez's leadership style and the composition of his cabinet over time. The articles contrast the initial reliance on experienced figures like Calvo with the current situation, where key positions are held by individuals without direct ties to the PSOE.
