Pilar Alegría

María Jesús Montero is a Spanish politician who serves as Vice-President of the Government and Minister of Finance. She is newsworthy due to her role in the recent cabinet reshuffle in Spain, where she was part of the fifth government reform since the July 2023 elections. Recently, she announced that she will be leaving the government in the coming days, citing concerns about the upcoming Andalusian regional elections and the potential return of the Socialist Party (PSOE) to power. This development has significant implications for the Spanish government and its relationship with the autonomous communities.
