The worst script Angeles Gonzalez-Sinde

The new minister of culture Angeles Gonzalez-Sinde has not enjoyed the traditional 100-day truce. His nomination was greeted with great hostility by many bloggers and internet users because of its controversial statements about the Internet, speed and downloads. Criticism of the new minister did not stay in cyberspace as the traditional media echoed the controversy, amplifying the potential harmful effects.

For this reason, it was hoped that the controversy would end up sinking the popularity of the minister, and so credited the new CIS barometer Sinde which positions as the minister of the new executive lowest rated with a score of 3.5, approaching the record levels offering us Magdalena Alvarez. Fortunately for her, Sinde is the least known member of the executive, for a 63 percent claim not to know the new minister. Not that it is a unique figure for a newcomer to politics, but perhaps it was expected that his controversial nomination would have helped at least to be better known than a new one in the profession, Ángel Gabilondo.

But the most surprising of the notes that Los Angeles offers Gonzalez-Sinde is that his bad evaluation from (relatively), especially on the left. If we compare the note with the note Sinde half of the new executive as the center-left voters (PSOE natural ideological space) we can see that the minister is the worst Sinde valued in relative terms. On average, people valued the center-left to the minister about a point below the average of the executive, a difference well above the other ministers and only about Beatriz Corredor. It thus appears that the left has a clear problem with the new minister of culture, which is certainly not good news for President Zapatero that his government crisis should have been capable of restoring the confidence of his new ministers left the electorate.

To see more clearly that, in effect, the left is particularly unhappy with the new minister of culture we can compare it with the notes of a new minister from the party apparatus: Manuel Chaves . See the following chart that compared the two ministers noted with the average of all the executive:

(graph: note Chaves / Sinde least average score of the executive, by ideology)

While valuation relative (compared with the average government) Manuel Chaves is higher among voters left and is down among the right, the opposite occurs with Gonzalez-Sinde. The new minister of culture gets a worse rating among citizens on the left and right increases between.

It thus appears that the controversy generated from the network has had special resonance among the natural ideological space of the PSOE. Undoubtedly, Gonzalez-Sinde start could not have been worse.
