Spain's PP and Vox sealed a deal on Wednesday to invest Jorge Azcón as Aragón president, allowing the far-right party into government with a vice presidency and three ministries. The agreement features 'national priority' for public aid access, mirroring Extremadura where María Guardiola was invested president. Meanwhile, PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo pushes for an absolute majority for Juanma Moreno in Andalucía without Vox reliance.
Spain's PP and Vox announced on April 22, 2026, a deal after 73 days of talks, unlocking Aragón's governance. Vox will gain a vice presidency, the ministries of Agriculture, Livestock and Food; Environment and Tourism; and Social Policy and Family, plus Cortes vice presidency and an autonomous senator. PP leader Jorge Azcón will be invested next week for his second term.
The agreement advances 'national priority' for public aids, 'frontal rejection' of the central government's immigration policy, and a repatriation plan for illegal immigration. Azcón stressed it will comply with the law, based on roots, registration, and legal residence. Aragón Vox leader Alejandro Nolasco backed stricter criteria for social aids.
In Extremadura, PP's María Guardiola was invested president that day via a similar Vox pact, where its spokesperson Óscar Fernández Calle declared: “We can put Spaniards first.” Feijóo, at an event in Lepe (Huelva), praised Juanma Moreno as a 'first-class' president and urged pushing for absolute majority in Andalucía's May 17 elections without Vox: “Achieving a stable government here will be another step toward a stable government across Spain.”
PSOE secretary general Pilar Alegría slammed the Aragón deal as a 'sharing of seats' breeding 'instability and uncertainty,' stating Azcón 'called snap elections for autonomy and stability and lost both.'
