Maximo Huerta was the shortest-serving minister in history. The publication of the scam against the Ministry of Finance forced him to resign a week after taking office at the Ministry of Culture. It was 4 years ago, and although in his book Goodbye gives some hint of what it was like to be a brief minister last night at anthill He confessed how short his political phase was.

Although he insisted that he did not want to “throw darts” in any way, he admitted that this was the last conversation he had with President Pedro Sánchez. Since then, he has kept the memory and the briefcase. He wanted to get rid of everything. “Many people think that you have a lifetime salary. I gave up everything. He wanted nothing, not even memories. I wanted to do slow and painful digestion. I was left alone with a portfolio that is at home, ”said the journalist.

As Maximo Huerta said in the program, when the bomb exploded and he arrived in Moncloa, he was made to wait in a room. Some time later, he went to talk to Pedro Sanchez and told him that he was leaving, that nothing was happening. “He started talking about how everyone ends badly in politics: ‘look at Zapatero, look at Aznar, what will they say about me when I’m done.’ And I thought I was here to retire. He had already told me in that conversation in which he asked me to shut up about “what history will say about me.” I came with the desire to retire…. And that’s it,” the writer explained.

“I was thrown off a cliff, no one called me that day, I asked for a car and went with a speech about resigning, but I paid my debt to the treasury and three fines, two that matched me, and resignation from the post of minister” Huerta explained.
