www.lamoncloa.gob.esI don’t have live access to the latest news in this turn. Here’s what’s been reported recently about the First Vice-President of the Government of Spain:
-
In March 2026, Pedro Sánchez announced a cabinet reshuffle that elevated Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo to First Vice President, while Arcadi España became the new Minister of Finance. This marked the first time a man held the deputy prime minister role in Sánchez’s administration and reflected a shift toward a more technocratic leadership style.

-
The reshuffle followed the departure of María Jesús Montero, who left her post as First Vice President and Finance Minister to campaign in Andalusia. Sánchez praised Montero’s eight-year tenure and effective management of European funds. [Source: La Moncloa press release]
-
Subsequent reporting noted that Cuerpo’s promotion placed him above the Second Vice President (Yolanda Díaz) within the government hierarchy, signaling a significant balance-shift in coalition dynamics. [Source: contemporaneous coverage]
