Abstract (English): Throughout this paper, the exercise of the speaker role in the Government of Spain during the health crisis caused by COVID-19 is analyzed in perspective with the available theory and taking the case study as fundamental methodology. The classic variables on crisis speaker (profile, number of speakers, relation to the media and decision-making capacity or not of who should carry out this work) are evaluated in the light of the strategy followed by the Spanish Executive, concluding that a coordinated and mixed multi-voice system has been chosen. This format has raised some dysfunctions and in it highlights include Doctor Fernando Simón, the Minister of Health, Salvador Illa and the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez. In order to be able to discuss the previous theoretical evidence, indicators are provided on the communication of this crisis and some conflicting points are collected that could serve for a future improvement of messages transmission in this type of situation. If until now it has been proven that there cannot be good crisis management without proper communication planning, in the future, the new health and ecological scenarios will generate highly mediated massive threat contexts for which the correct choice of the crisis speaker will be decisive.

Abstract (Spanish): A lo largo del presente artículo se analiza, en perspectiva con la teoría disponible y tomando el estudio de caso como metodología fundamental, el ejercicio de la función de portavocía en el Gobierno de España durante la crisis sanitaria provocada por la COVID-19. Las clásicas variables sobre portavocía de crisis (perfil del elegido, número de portavoces, relación con los medios y capacidad decisoria o no de quien debe desarrollar esta labor) son evaluadas a la luz de la estrategia seguida por el Ejecutivo español, concluyendo que se ha optado por un sistema de portavocía múltiple, coordinada y mixta. Este formato ha planteado algunas disfuncionalidades y en él sobresalen como personajes destacados el doctor Fernando Simón, el ministro de Sanidad, Salvador Illa y el propio presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez. A los efectos de poder discutir las evidencias teóricas previas, se aportan indicadores sobre la comunicación de esta crisis y se recogen ciertos puntos conflictivos que podrían servir para una mejora futura de la transmisión de mensajes en este tipo de situaciones. Si hasta ahora ha quedado acreditado que no puede haber una buena gestión de crisis sin una correcta planificación de la comunicación, en el futuro, los nuevos escenarios sanitarios y ecológicos generarán contextos de amenaza masiva muy mediatizados para los que la correcta elección del portavoz de la crisis resultará determinante.
