Andalusian Ombudsman appointment process

Overview

Andalusian President Juanma Moreno proposed Marta Bosquet, a former President of the Andalusian Parliament, to serve as the new Defensor del Pueblo Andaluz. Her appointment follows the expiration of Jesús Maeztu’s mandate in September 2024.

While the proposal aims to appoint the first woman to the position, the selection process has drawn political criticism. The appointment was secured through a majority coalition of the People's Party (PP) and Vox in the Andalusian Parliament. The PSOE has criticized the move, labeling it a “PP-Vox steamroller” and questioning Bosquet’s legal experience and social profile. In response, the PP and Vox defended the selection, asserting that Bosquet meets all legal and technical requirements due to her background as a jurist and her knowledge of the regional administration. The appointment is scheduled for a final plenary vote for ratification.
