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.

Following the government's announcement of a new regional financing model, PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has convened his party's 11 regional presidents to a summit on January 18 in Aragón. The meeting aims to unify opposition, criticizing the model as favoring Catalan independence, amid defenses from Salvador Illa and Oriol Junqueras.
Aragón's PP-led government under Jorge Azcón met with Vox on Monday to negotiate the 2026 budgets, but positions remain distant, pointing to early elections in February. Vox pushes to replicate the Valencia pact, which the PP deems unacceptable on several points. The parties have scheduled a final meeting this week.
