PP and Vox reach last-minute coalition deal to invest Juanma Moreno as Andalusia president

Juanma Moreno was invested as president of Andalusia for a third term on July 2, 2026, after the conservative Popular Party (PP) and the far-right Vox signed a last-minute coalition agreement. The pact, announced just 30 minutes before the second parliamentary vote, secured the 55 votes needed for Moreno's investiture, ending weeks of tense negotiations Source: ABC.

The deal

Under the agreement, Vox will hold the vice presidency and a super-ministry covering Tourism, Deregulation, Justice and Administration, led by Manuel Gavira Source: ABC. The programme includes the controversial 'prioridad nacional' (national priority) principle, which gives preference to Spanish citizens in access to public services and aid—a key Vox demand Source: La Vanguardia. Vox had pushed for multiple ministries as seen in previous coalitions in Extremadura, Aragón and Castile and León, but the PP argued that Vox's weight should be proportional to its parliamentary seats: the PP needed only two votes from Vox, not a full coalition Source: El Mundo.
