Juan Manuel Moreno took office on Sunday as president of the Junta de Andalucía for the third time following a government agreement with Vox. The pact gives Vox a vice presidency and several ministries in exchange for the votes needed for investiture.
The ceremony took place in the gardens of the Palacio de San Telmo in Seville before about 300 guests. Moreno defended that he will maintain the Andalusian way of dialogue and inclusion and stated that values do not change despite the pact.
The agreement with Vox includes the entry of Manuel Gavira as vice president and minister of Tourism, Justice and Deregulation. The new government will have 13 ministries and will be formed by the end of this week.
Among those present were former president Mariano Rajoy and former PP leaders. No ministers from the central government or national PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo attended. Moreno recalled that the pact responds to the results of the May 17 elections.
