Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez named Arcadi España as Spain's new budget minister on Thursday and promoted Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo to deputy prime minister as part of a reshuffle of his cabinet, APA reports citing Reuters.
Arcadi España replaces Maria Jesus Montero, who stepped down to lead the Socialist Party's campaign in upcoming regional elections in Andalusia.
Cuerpo, who will continue in his role as economy minister, will become the first man Sanchez has named as a deputy prime minister since taking power in 2018, when he formed the first government with gender parity in Spanish history.
