Sessions in the Spanish Congress often produce images that generate comments, and on this occasion the focus fell on Defense Minister Margarita Robles. The official was seated on the blue bench alongside the other members of the Executive during the explanations by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.
All present ministers, including those from the Sumar party, stood up when Sánchez finished his first intervention. At that moment, they joined the applause coming from the socialist bench in support of the President of the Government.
However, Margarita Robles remained seated throughout this time, not participating in the standing ovation that involved the other members of the executive. This posture contrasted visibly with that of her government colleagues, which drew the attention of the media and generated comments on social networks.
