Under the cover of a new cookbook, called Made in Spain, the wife of the former deputy prime minister has slipped in a few cutting digs at Mr and Mrs Cameron. First she pours scorn on Samantha Cameron for having the audacity to serve up Hellmann's mayonnaise during a Downing Street dinner. No, it is… Hellmann's mayonnaise. Boris Johnson insists sleaze allegations will not affect ballot box at by-elections.
Then she reveals that she turned down numerous invitations to dine at Chequers, the PM's official residence. Then, just in case they hadn't got the message, Miriam Gonzalez Durantez served up bony fish when - after twice dining at the Camerons' Downing Street flat - she couldn't avoid inviting them back. On a visit to London, the mother-of-three stocked up on six bottles of Nando's peri-peri sauce, calling it 'the London food that my children miss the most'.
She added: 'Back to the London pollution — and yet this is where I breathe best…'. She was nonplussed to find beach signs warning of sharks, and on other outings appeared bemused by signs warning of rattlesnakes and mountain lion, and advising hikers to 'fight back'. The year-old also wasn't happy when her home suffered a blackout after high winds brought down electricity lines. She has railed against American bureaucracy too, writing shortly after her arrival: 'One week and a half in California and I already had to fill in 63 registration forms — and no, not even all of them were online!
Next time any Brexiteers complain about European bureaucracy, just point them to the US. She added: 'Oh dear, this is what I have become! What other country calls foreigners 'aliens'? She was also left frustrated with US healthcare, revealing how she had to spend nearly 50 minutes waiting for a simple vaccine at a clinic. In mid-April, she visited a beach swathed in a zipped-up hoodie and sweatpants, complaining about the bitter cold compared with her native Spain, where she would normally visit the beach 'with the bikini, sun umbrella, folding chair, a beach mat and a cooler box with beers and watermelon'.
He joined Facebook as vice- president of global affairs and communications last October. Despite his new role, Clegg, 52, is virtually unknown in the US.
Even at Facebook he is just one of dozens of corporate vice-presidents competing for a few minutes of chief executive Mark Zuckerberg's time each week. And Ms Gonzalez Durantez revealed that she doesn't always want her husband by her side.
In November she is set to receive an award for her charity work, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. And then, after she graduated, she tried to get a job. It was Spain had just hosted the Olympics in Barcelona.
Democracy was established. Optimism was in the air. She talks about this both to me and to the girls at the sports event. It was clearly an enormous shock to her; she had to move back home to live with her parents.
I was part of that generation in Spain that came just after democracy, and there was this feeling that, if you studied, with an education, you could get anything. As a result, we had huge expectations, and it took me some adjustment to come to grips with reality. She eventually got a job in Brussels at the European Commission, inputting data; and from there she moved up, becoming a leading negotiator for the World Trade Organisation on the subject of telecoms.
Once established, she travelled a lot for work. Now their life is, she insists, pretty similar to that of many working couples. How do we handle this? Nick has a particularly demanding job, and we all work around that.
At the end of the day, you are not just yourself, you are you and your circumstances. Whatever happens, my family and I decide what is the right thing for us. Her husband will almost certainly have a less powerful job after the election.
Has she discussed what lies ahead? She wants all women to be able to make their own decisions, in work, within a relationship, with a family or without. I come from a culture, in Spain, in Brussels, where, if you want to be a lawyer, you study law, if you want to be an economist, you study economy. Whatever you do early in your life determines what you do later on. You want to know what I think?
I have a choice? They also say they would not be at all surprised if one day she decided to pursue politics herself. Brenda Otero. London - 16 Oct UTC. Copy link. Licenciatura en Comercio y Negocios Internacionales.
