New Vox Government places an Asaja leader who is making his debut in politics and is not a member of the party at the head of Agriculture in Aragon

As soon as he was sworn in as president of Aragon, Jorge Azcón signed this Friday the appointment decrees of the new regional Executive that will consist of ten ministries and two vice-presidencies.

Depending on the agreement signed, Vox will hold the first vice presidency and the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock. The first vice president, with competencies in Territorial Development, Depopulation and Justice, is Alejandro Nolasco Asensio (Vox), a 32-year-old lawyer and writer.

The nucleus of the new Executive will be in the hands of three experienced leaders of the PP and the maximum confidence of Azcón. Vice President Mar Vaquero will be the head of Economy and Industry, which will give her control over economic policy and, in addition, she will be the government spokesperson. Octavio López will be in charge of Development, Housing, Mobility and Logistics, and will have a decisive role in recruiting companies, key in the Azcón project. The third pillar is the Treasury and Public Administration department, from which the rest depend, and which will be managed by Roberto Bermúdez de Castro. The Minister of the Presidency, Interior and Culture is Tomasa Hernández Martín, who has worked as a lawyer and judge.

Vox has placed Ángel Samper Secorún, an agrarian leader from Asaja, at the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food, who is making his debut in politics, is not a member of Vox and is a farmer and rancher with a conservative profile.

The veteran leader of the PP Manuel Blasco Marqués, who is giving up his seat in the Senate, will hold the newly created Ministry of Environment and Tourism. Also new is the Department of Social Welfare and Family that will be directed by Carmen Marín Susín Gabarre, a graduate in Political Science and Public Administration and a diploma in both advanced studies in Human Rights and fundamental freedoms.

Education, Science and Universities has fallen to Claudia Pérez Forniés, doctor in Economics, and the doctor José Luis Bancalero Flores is the new Minister of Health.
