The government of Carlos Mazón was formed on 19 July 2023, following the latter's election as President of the Valencian Government by the Corts Valencianes on 13 July and his swearing-in on 17 July, as a result of the People's Party (PP) emerging as the largest parliamentary force at the 2023 regional election.[1][2] It succeeded the first Puig government and is the incumbent Valencian Government since 19 July 2023.
Until 2024, the cabinet comprised members of the PP and Vox, as well as a number of independents proposed by the first party.[3] On 11 July 2024, Vox leader Santiago Abascal forced the break up of all PP–Vox governments at the regional level over a national controversy regarding the distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors among the autonomous communities.[4]

Cabinet changes
[edit]Mazón's government saw a number of cabinet changes during its tenure:
- On 11 July 2024, Vox leader Santiago Abascal announced that his party was breaking all of its regional governments with the People's Party (PP) as a result of the later agreeing to a nationwide distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors among the autonomous communities under its control.[4][6] In the Valencian Community, this resulted in the immediate expulsion from government by president Mazón of Vice President and Culture and Sports minister Vicente Barrera, Justice and Interior minister Elisa Núñez and Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries minister José Luis Aguirre.[7] They were replaced by Susana Camarero—who became the sole vice president—Salomé Pradas as new Minister of Justice and Interior and Miguel Barrachina at the helm of the new Agriculture, Water, Livestock and Fisheries portfolio; concurrently, Vicente Martínez replaced Pradas as responsible of the Environment, Infrastructures and Territory portfolio, whereas the Culture ministry was abolished and its responsibilities integrated within the Education, Universities and Employment ministry.[8]
Council of Government
[edit]The Council of Government was structured into the offices for the president, the two vice presidents, nine ministries and the posts of secretary and spokesperson of the Council.[9] From July 2024, the Council would include only one vice president.[10] The number of ministries was increased to 11 in November 2024, with the post of the second vice president being restablished.[11]
Departmental structure
[edit]Carlos Mazón's government is organised into several superior and governing units, whose number, powers and hierarchical structure varied depending on the ministerial department.[9][10][11]
