Until 2024, the cabinet comprised members of the PP and Vox, as well as a number of independents proposed by the first party.[3] 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.[4]

Perspective
Mazón'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.[4][6] In the Valencian Community, this resulted in the immediate expulsion from government by president Mazón of Vice President and Culture and Sports minister Vicente Barrera, Justice and Interior minister Elisa Núñez and Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries minister José Luis Aguirre.[7] They were replaced by Susana Camarero—who became the sole vice president—Salomé Pradas as new Minister of Justice and Interior and Miguel Barrachina at the helm of the new Agriculture, Water, Livestock and Fisheries portfolio; concurrently, Vicente Martínez replaced Pradas as responsible of the Environment, Infrastructures and Territory portfolio, whereas the Culture ministry was abolished and its responsibilities integrated within the Education, Universities and Employment ministry.[8]
- On 15 November 2024, following the 2024 Valencian floods that killed at least 221 in the province of Valencia, Mazón attempted to cast off calls for his resignation by announcing a cabinet reshuffle.[9][10] This was materialized on 22 November, with Social Services, Equality and Housing minister Susana Camarero being promoted to first vice president and appointed as government spokesperson; a second vicepresidency for the Economic and Social Recovery of the Valencian Community being created with a military officer, Francisco José Gan Pampols, at its helm; the Interior portfolio being split from the Justice department—which also saw a change of minister from Salomé Pradas to Nuria Martínez and was attached the Public Administration competences—to create a new Emergencies ministry under Juan Carlos Valderrama; and Marián Cano becoming new minister of Innovation, Industry, Trade and Tourism following the dismissal of Nuria Montes.[11]
