Cabinet changes

edit

González's government saw a number of cabinet changes during its tenure:

  • On 27 January 2014, Minister of Health Javier Fernández-Lasquetty announced his resignation from the post after a decision from the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid to maintain the precautionary suspension of the outsourcing process of six public hospitals in Madrid.[4][5] He was replaced by Javier Rodríguez.[6]
  • On 4 December 2014, Javier Rodríguez was dismissed as Health minister after being questioned by health professionals and the opposition for a number of controversial statements on the Ebola-infected nurse during the virus disease crisis in Spain. He was replaced in his post by Javier Maldonado.[7][8]

From 25 May 2015, González's cabinet took on acting duties for the duration of the government formation process resulting from the 2015 regional election.

  • On 4 June, two ministers renounced their posts: Salvador Victoria (Presidency, Justice and Spokesperson) and Lucía Figar (Education, Youth and Sports), who had been indicted for their alleged involvement in the Púnica case. They were replaced four days later in acting capacity by Javier Hernández Martínez and Manuel Pérez Gómez, respectively.[9]
