Overview
- Félix Taberna and Amparo López were removed from the first vice presidency and the Interior portfolio, respectively, in the most significant remodel since 2019.
- Javier Remírez, a PSN veteran and current senator, returns as first vice president, government spokesperson, and head of Presidency and Equality.
- Inma Jurío, formerly a regional lawmaker and senior official at the Government Delegation in Navarra, takes over Interior, Public Function and Justice.
- Chivite says the changes aim to give the government a new political impulse for the roughly 15 months left in the term, and coalition partners did not seek alterations to their areas.
- The move comes as scrutiny of the Belate tunnels contract continues, with UCO findings linking Servinabar to ex-PSOE figure Santos Cerdán; in December the public works director was dismissed and opposition parties keep pressing for Óscar Chivite to resign.
