Juanma Moreno forms PP‑Vox coalition government in Andalusia

Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla was sworn in for a third consecutive term as president of the Junta de Andalucía after his People’s Party (PP) won 53 seats and struck a coalition with Vox’s 15 deputies, giving the new executive a combined 68‑seat majority. Vox’s regional leader Manuel Gavira assumed the vice‑presidency and the ministries of Tourism, Deregulation, Justice and Local Administration, describing the partnership as a “reliable and predictable” ally.

The agreement includes the controversial “priority national” clause, which the coalition says will give Spaniards preferential access to public aid and housing while maintaining emergency medical care for anyone in need. Vox also pledged stricter immigration controls, a review of public spending, and a continuation of tax cuts announced during the campaign. The pact was praised by PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo as a “solid” move that ensures stability for the next four years, while former prime minister Mariano Rajoy attended the investiture ceremony and highlighted the need for “sensible” governance.

Opposition parties condemned the deal as discriminatory and warned that the policy agenda – covering migration, cultural programmes such as the Arabic‑Moroccan school curriculum, and public‑sector cuts – could reshape Andalusian public services. Despite the criticism, the coalition argues the arrangement secures the region’s budgetary outlook through 2030.
