Pérez Llorca Assembles Continuity Consell, Ousts Mazón Aides and Lowers Vox’s Profile

His early appointments signal a pivot to reconstruction-focused governance.

Overview

  • Eleven consellers were sworn in and held a first plenary that executed initial dismissals, including Carlos Mazón’s chief of staff José Manuel Cuenca and senior official Santiago Lumbreras.
  • The new spokesperson Miguel Barrachina said a follow‑up meeting will set up a total of 27 regional secretariats as further second‑tier appointments proceed.
  • Henar Molinero (Presidency) and Jacobo Navarro de Peralta (Analysis) were placed in key secretariats, a move read as building bridges to factions linked to María José Catalá and Francisco Camps.
  • Juanfran Pérez Llorca has contacted associations of DANA flood victims and pledged to speed reconstruction while emphasizing the need to safeguard public trust.
  • Early messaging downplays prior concessions to Vox, with the focus shifting to institutional management and negotiations, as national politics heat up with PSOE unrest over the Salazar case and leaders treating Extremadura’s vote as an early gauge of momentum.
