In a significant reshuffle within the Spanish government, Diego Rubio has been appointed as the new Chief of Staff for the President, replacing Óscar López.

Rubio, a trusted advisor to President Sánchez, previously served as the head of European affairs and has been instrumental in shaping strategic policies.

His academic background includes a doctorate from Oxford and advisory roles with the UN and European Commission.

Meanwhile, Óscar López transitions to the role of Minister of Digital Transformation and Public Function, succeeding José Luis Escrivá, who is now the Governor of the Bank of Spain.

These changes mark a pivotal moment in the administration, with Rubio's appointment highlighting a shift towards a more strategic and academically driven leadership approach.
