Cortes de Aragón

The Cortes de Aragón refers to the government of the autonomous community of Aragón, Spain. Recent news highlights its actions and responses to significant events within the region. Currently, the government is led by Jorge Azcón, who is operating in a caretaker capacity ('en funciones') while negotiating with Vox. A recent controversial move involves subsidizing the first year of Bachillerato (high school) in private, subsidized schools, a decision made during this transitional period. This action has drawn attention due to its timing amidst political negotiations. Furthermore, the Cortes de Aragón has publicly condemned the femicide of Silvia in Zaragoza, participating in demonstrations and issuing statements through the Instituto Aragonés de la Mujer, emphasizing the need for a strong response to gender-based violence. These events underscore the government's ongoing role in policy implementation and addressing critical social issues within Aragón.
