The Government will remove Ion Antolín as head of the Secretary of State for Communication and will appoint journalist Lydia del Canto in his place, according to Moncloa sources informing elDiario.es. Antonlín is leaving for health reasons, these same sources indicate. He had been named on December 3 as a replacement for Francesc Vallés.
Born in Valladolid in 1977, Antolín has been linked to teaching, since, among other things, he has been director of the digital module of the Master in Political Communication at the Camilo José Cela University and academic director of the postgraduate degree in Digital Content and Community Management from the same university. Before joining Moncloa, for the last two years he has served as head of Communication for the PSOE and before that he worked in various media and was external communications manager at Caixabank and communications director at Banca Cívica.
Antolín’s intention, Moncloa sources specify, is to return to the PSOE Communication Department when he has recovered.
Her replacement will be Lydia del Canto, a journalist who has worked for a good part of her career in the Levante-EMV newspaper and has also held the position of regional secretary of Communication during the Government of Ximo Puig in the Valencian Community.
In March 2024, Diana Morant appointed Del Canto responsible for Communication and her Chief of Staff to accompany her in her new stage as Secretary General of the Valencian Socialists.
