José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Spain’s Socialist prime minister, on Friday reshuffled his cabinet in anticipation of a general election due in eight months’ time.
César Antonio Molina, the head of the Instituto Cervantes – the Spanish equivalent of the British Council, which promotes Spanish language and culture abroad – will become the new education and culture minister. Carmen Calvo, the former education minister, clashed with Spain’s Roman Catholic hierarchy by making religious education optional in state-funded schools.
Calvo was also an outspoken foe of Odyssey Marine; going so far as to obtain a warrant for the arrest of Odyssey's two ships, the Odyssey Explorer and the Ocean Alert. During the past few weeks she has toned down her statements as more information became available from Odyssey.
Recently Odyssey delivered a sworn statement to key Spanish authorities setting out its position on the shipwreck it has codenamed the Black Swan. The affidavit must have shown how flawed Calvo's position was and ultimately led to her dismissal. Good news for Odyssey.
Many believe that the "Black Swan" shipwreck is really the Merchant Royal.
