First government of Alfonso Fernández Mañueco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first government of Alfonso Fernández Mañueco was formed on 17 July 2019, following the latter's election as President of the Regional Government of Castile and León by the Cortes of Castile and León on 9 July and his swearing-in on 12 July, as a result of the People's Party (PP) and Citizens (Cs) being able to muster a majority of seats in the Cortes following the 2019 Castilian-Leonese regional election. It succeeded the fifth Herrera government and was the Regional Government of Castile and León from 17 July 2019 to 20 April 2022, a total of 1,008 days, or 2 years, 9 months and 3 days.

Until 2021, the cabinet comprised members of the PP and Cs, to become the first coalition government to be formed in the region. On 20 December 2021, regional president Mañueco expelled all Cs members from the cabinet under a pretext to call a snap regional election.[1] It was automatically dismissed on 14 February 2022 as a consequence of the 2022 regional election, but remained in acting capacity until the next government was sworn in.
Investiture
Cabinet changes
Mañueco's first government saw a number of cabinet changes during its tenure:
- On 25 May 2020, Germán Barrios announced his resignation as Minister of Employment and Industry, citing "insurmountable differences" with regional vice president Francisco Igea.[3] He was succeeded in his post by Ana Carlota Amigo on 28 May, with Carlos Fernández Carriedo (from the PP) serving in acting capacity until she could be sworn into office.[4][5]
- On 20 December 2021, Mañueco expelled all four Cs members from his cabinet and announced a snap regional election for 13 February citing "stability concerns" and mistrust on his coalition partner, a move to which Cs replied with outrage.[6][7]
Council of Government
The Council of Government was structured into the offices for the president, the vice president, nine ministries and the post of the spokesperson of the Government.[8]
