The coalition context

Moreno justified the agreement with Vox, signed on July 2, after losing his absolute majority in the May 17 elections. He argued that Andalusia could not afford 'to lose time or opportunities' and that forming a government quickly was 'essential' to obey the will of Andalusians.

Unity message

During the ceremony at San Telmo Palace, Moreno made a clear call for unity: 'This is a government agreed upon by two political forces that represent a broad will of the citizens of Andalusia. It is an agreement of two political forces, but one single government.'
