Government to Dismiss Moncloa Aide Antonio Hernández After Salazar Allegations

The move follows reports tying the Salazar lieutenant to complaints from women who worked in the presidency.

Overview

  • The Council of Ministers will formalize Hernández’s removal on Tuesday, according to government and party sources.
  • Officials describe the action as an agreed dismissal coordinated with chief of staff Diego Rubio and First Vice President María Jesús Montero.
  • The PSOE says Hernández will also leave the Andalusian executive, where he served as secretary for Data, Analysis and Prospecting.
  • Moncloa sources say he denies the accusations yet is stepping aside for the good of the Government.
  • The decision follows elDiario.es and TVE reporting on alleged sexual harassment by Francisco Salazar, whose accusers named Hernández as an accomplice or coverer.
