First government of Ximo Puig

The first government of Ximo Puig was formed on 30 June 2015, following the latter's election as President of the Valencian Government by the Corts Valencianes on 25 June and his swearing-in on 28 June, as a result of the Socialist Party of the Valencian Country (PSPV–PSOE) and Commitment Coalition (Compromís) being able to muster a majority of seats in the Parliament with external support from We Can (Podemos) following the 2015 Valencian regional election.[1] It succeeded the Fabra government and was the Valencian Government from 30 June 2015 to 17 June 2019, a total of 1,448 days, or 3 years, 11 months and 18 days.
