The second government of Alfonso Fernández Mañueco was formed on 20 April 2022, following the latter's election as President of the Junta of Castile and León by the Cortes of Castile and León on 11 April and his scheduled swearing-in on 19 April, as a result of the People's Party (PP) and Vox being able to muster a majority of seats in the Cortes following the 2022 Castilian-Leonese regional election.[1] It succeeded the first Mañueco government and has been the incumbent Junta of Castile and León since 20 April 2022, a total of 944 days, or 2 years, 6 months and 30 days.

Cabinet changes
editMañueco's second government saw a number of cabinet changes during its tenure:
- On 11 May 2023, minister of the Presidency Jesús Julio Carnero announced his stepping down from the post in order to run for the office of mayor of Valladolid in the upcoming 28 May local elections.[6] He was replaced by Luis Miguel González Gago, effective on 15 May.[7]
- On 11 July 2024, Vox leader Santiago Abascal announced that his party was breaking all of its regional governments with the People's Party (PP) as a result of the later agreeing to a nationwide distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors among the autonomous communities under its control.[5][8] In Castile and León, this resulted in the resignation of Vice President Juan García-Gallardo; Minister of Culture and Tourism Gonzalo Santonja announced that he was not leaving the government and quit his Vox membership, whereas the Industry and Agriculture ministers, Mariano Veganzones and Gerardo Dueñas respectively, were removed despite having voiced their will to stay on.[9][10] They were replaced by Isabel Blanco as vice president, Leticia García as Industry, Trade and Employment minister and María González Corral in the Agriculture, Livestock and Rural Development portfolio, the later being replaced in her original office as minister of Mobility and Digital Transformation by José Luis Sanz Merino.[11]
