Cabinet changes
Summarize
Perspective
Sánchez's third government saw a number of cabinet changes during its tenure:
- Following her election as president of the European Investment Bank on 8 December 2023, Nadia Calviño was expected to vacate her cabinet posts as first deputy prime minister and economy minister by the end of the year, in order to be able to take office at the EIB on 1 January 2024 following the end of Werner Hoyer's term.[2][3] On 29 December, she was replaced as economy minister by until then-Secretary General for the Treasury and International Financing, Carlos Cuerpo,[4] and as first deputy prime minister by Finance minister María Jesús Montero.[5] The Finance and Digital Transformation ministries also saw changes in their structures, with civil service competences being transferred from the former to the latter.[6]
- On 4 September 2024, Digital Transformation minister José Luis Escrivá was selected as new governor of the Bank of Spain, starting on 6 September, leading to a minor cabinet reshuffle which saw him replaced by Óscar López, until then Chief of Staff of the Prime Minister.[7]
- On 25 November 2024, Sara Aagesen was appointed as new third deputy prime minister and as Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge ministry officeholder to replace Teresa Ribera, following the latter's selection to serve as first Executive Vice-President of the European Commission for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition and European Commissioner for Competitiveness in the second Von der Leyen Commission.[8]
