Key details
Pedro Sánchez, President of the Spanish Government, has kept the identity of the new government spokesperson under wraps following Pilar Alegría's departure. Speaking after the final Council of Europe meeting this year, Sánchez indicated that the public will "know soon" about the appointment, suggesting an official announcement could come as early as Monday, December 22, 2025. The new spokesperson is expected to be sworn in on Tuesday, December 23, at the Palacio de la Zarzuela before King Felipe VI, just prior to the last Council of Ministers meeting of 2025.
Sánchez did not disclose whether the new spokesperson is an existing government member or a new addition to his Cabinet. This transition marks a significant change in a key government role responsible for communicating the administration's policies and positions. The current spokesperson, Pilar Alegría, left the post recently, prompting this upcoming announcement.
The timing of the announcement ahead of the final Council of Ministers meeting signals the government's intent to introduce the new spokesperson promptly as it prepares to close the year. While Sánchez answered questions briefly without revealing more details, the political community anticipates the identity of the new spokesperson and their potential impact on government communications moving forward.
