Spanish political appointments in Extremadura and Andalusia

Overview

In October 2026, several political appointments were made within Spanish regional administrations involving members of the People's Party (PP).

In Extremadura, Santi Amaro, the PP spokesperson for the Mérida City Council, was appointed as an advisor to Manuel Naharro, the President of the Assembly of Extremadura. This appointment follows Amaro’s resignation as the Director General of Sports for the Junta de Extremadura. Amaro indicated an intention to balance this institutional role with his political ambitions for the May 2027 municipal elections in Mérida.

The appointees include Ascensión Hita Fernández, Susana González Pérez, and María Blanca Merino de la Torre. These full-time advisory roles, classified as positions of trust, carry an annual salary of 46,581.64 euros each.
