 The Spanish Cockpit: The Smoking Wars
Her government has drafted a plan to "enact" the anti-tobacco law that in fact disactivates it, allowing smoking in bars as long as the ventilation is good and in offices as long as there is a balcony.
After all, she doesn't want smokers "to feel discrimated against." The Minister of Health has responded by calling Aguirre's plan illegal, and suggesting that the presidenta is perhaps willing to jeopardize the health of madrileños in order to win votes.
Members of Aguirre's cabinet, in fact her very own councillor for health, has responded by calling for the Minister's resignation.
