With the electoral advance of Pedro Sánchez, the parties have to hurry to make the lists like the ones that will attend 23-J. The last day to present them is June 19, so these days the name dances are constant in all the games. Some are discarded, like the minister Alberto Garzonand others position themselves.
In this context, the Defense Minister, Daisy Robles, has stressed this Saturday that he has “a personal commitment to Pedro Sánchez for a long time” and has shown his confidence in the President of the Government and in the policy he is carrying out. “I believe in Pedro Sánchez and the policy that is being carried out is the best for Spain,” said the Defense Minister in an interview with TVE when asked if he will participate in the general elections on July 23.
Robles headed the list for the PSOE Congress in Ávila in 2019, when he won his seat, although he left it the following year to focus on his work at the head of Defense. “I will be committed as long as I serve. It is a luxury to be Defense Minister,” she insisted during the celebration of Armed Forces Day, which is celebrated in Granada.

The Minister of Defense has reiterated that the electoral advance is not going to stop the modernization projects launched by the Armed Forces, since “this government is going to continue working, even if it is in office.” Robles has predicted a “very good electoral result, without any doubt”, and has stressed that “the Armed Forces have never been used in a partisan key, since investing in them is investing in Spain’s modernity, in values of peace, freedom and security”.
In addition, he recalled that investment in the Armed Forces “will continue for many years because it is necessary, since there is a commitment from the President of the Government, of Spain, to reach 2% of GDP”. In this line, Robles has explained that “security is very vulnerable, as is being seen in Ukraine”, at the same time that he has shown his solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
