Valencia's Government Reshuffles After Vox's Sudden Exit

Published: 2024-07-12

Valencia's President Carlos Mazón has swiftly restructured his government following the abrupt departure of far-right party Vox.

The move came after Vox's national leader, Santiago Abascal, announced the party's withdrawal from regional coalitions.

Mazón dismissed three Vox ministers late Thursday and unveiled a new cabinet structure Friday morning.

The reshuffle reduces the number of ministries from ten to nine and eliminates one vice-presidency.

Mazón criticized Vox's decision as unilateral and imposed from outside the region, emphasizing his commitment to stability and completing the full term.

The president expressed confidence in continued support from Vox deputies for positive measures, despite the party's exit from the government.
