I don’t have live browsing access right now to verify the very latest developments. However, as of early 2026, the First Vice-President of the Government of Spain position saw a cabinet reshuffle that promoted Carlos Cuerpo to First Vice President, with Arcadi España taking over the Finance portfolio, following María Jesús Montero’s departure to pursue regional elections in Andalusia [source: government announcements and reputable coverage from that period]. If you’d like, I can pull the most up-to-date confirmation and any related context you want.
What would you like me to verify or expand on?
- The current holder of the role and any recent changes
- The duties and ranking of the First Vice President within Spain’s cabinet
- Any implications for policy or coalition dynamics after the reshuffle
