El tercer ministro socialista que dimite con Sánchez, tras Huerta y Montón
El resto de salidas de ministros socialistas de sus gabinetes se ha debido a remodelaciones generales o puntuales que ha llevado a cabo el presidente del Gobierno. Leer
Since 2018, three socialist ministers have resigned from Pedro Sánchez's governments, following earlier departures by Maxim Huerta and Carmen Montón. The most recent resignation came from Óscar Puente, who stepped down as Transport Minister following a rail accident in Toledo. This brings the total of socialist ministers who have resigned from Sánchez's cabinets to three since 2018.
Other departures have been attributed to reorganizations or individual reasons, such as taking on international responsibilities or running for office in community elections. Unidas Podemos's Pablo Iglesias resigned in 2021 to run as a candidate for the Madrid community elections. Another Unidas Podemos minister, Manuel Castells, resigned due to health issues in December 2021.
Both Huerta and Castells had served in the Culture and Sport and Universities ministries, respectively. Huerta resigned in June 2018 after being sanctioned by the tax authority for not paying 218,000 euros in taxes through a company, a decision deemed voluntary and culpable by Madrid's High Court. Carmen Montón resigned as Health Minister in September 2018 due to alleged irregularities in her master's degree at the University of Madrid, which the university subsequently investigated and confirmed the need for a review.
