In a moment in which the Spanish policy is characterized by its growing radicalism and polarization, the fact that the appointment of a minister in the first coalition Government of the Spanish policy received endorsements left and right is in itself a news story. Great news.

His predecessors, Josep Piqué and José Manuel García Margallo, the two ministers with the Governments of the Popular Party, have hailed his appointment. Margallo has even been put to his service.

Arancha González Laya incorporates a technical profile of high level Government of Pedro Sanchez and you can give the Spanish diplomacy a economic profile in the style of its French counterpart. Account with withs to do this. She graduated in Law from the University of Navarra and has a postgraduate degree in European Law from the University Carlos III. In its beginnings in the private sector, he worked as an advisor to companies on issues related to trade, competition and State aid.

Gonzalez Laya knows the ins and outs of Brussels. For many years he worked in the European Commission, first as the spokesman of Trade commissioner Pascal Lamy and then as his chief of cabinet, since he was also in the eight years that Lamy was at the head of the World Trade Organization (WTO). At that stage was responsible in the institution to represent the WTO in the G20 and set out various initiatives to help to change to facilitate the trade.

With his appointment to the front Exterior, González Laya leaves an important post in Geneva, where he has caught the announcement of his appointment as director of the agency of the United Nations and the WTO to promote enterprise development in developing countries. That profile, and their own personal concern, has allowed him to go to all kinds of international forums, from the Forum of Davos, the meetings of the International Monetary Fund, the G20, the OECD... What he provides, without doubt, a vision that is very multi-faceted on the global agenda.
