The first government of Jorge Azcón was formed on 12 August 2023, following the latter's election as President of the Government of Aragon by the Cortes of Aragon on 10 August and his swearing-in on 11 August, as a result of the People's Party (PP) and Vox being able to muster a majority of seats in the Cortes following the 2023 regional election.[1][2] It succeeded the second Lambán government and was the Government of Aragon from 12 August 2023 to 4 May 2026, a total of 996 days, or 2 years, 8 months and 22 days.

Until 2024, the cabinet comprised members of the PP, Vox—at the sub-ministry level—the Aragonese Party (PAR), as well as a number of independents proposed by the first two parties.[3][4] On 11 July 2024, Vox leader Santiago Abascal forced the break up of all PP–Vox governments at the regional level over a national controversy regarding the distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors among the autonomous communities.[5]

Cabinet changes

Azcón's government saw a number of cabinet changes during its tenure:

  • On 11 July 2024, Vox leader Santiago Abascal announced that his party was breaking all of its regional governments with the People's Party (PP) as a result of the later agreeing to a nationwide distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors among the autonomous communities under its control.[5][7]

Council of Government

The Council of Government was structured into the offices for the president, the two vice presidents, 10 ministries and the post of spokesperson of the Government.[8] From July 2024, the Council was reduced to nine ministries and would include only one vice president.[9]
