Jorge Azcón

Jorge Azcón is a prominent figure in Spanish politics, specifically as a leading member of the Partido Popular (PP). He is currently the president in functions of Aragón, a region in Spain, following regional elections held on February 8, 2026. Azcón is newsworthy due to the ongoing negotiations between the PP and Vox, a right-wing party, to form a governing coalition in Aragón. These negotiations have been protracted, with both parties publicly displaying their willingness to reach an agreement despite reported tensions. A key point of contention and negotiation involves policy decisions, such as Azcón's move to subsidize the first year of Bachillerato (high school) in private, subsidized schools, a policy supported by Vox. The outcome of these negotiations is significant as it will determine the political leadership and direction of Aragón in the coming years.
