Changes in Political Parties

In March 2021, Isabel Franco made a big political decision. She, along with two other members from her party, Citizens, decided to join the regional government led by the PP party. This meant they would vote against a "motion of censure" that their original party, Citizens, had put forward. A motion of censure is a way for a political group to try and remove the current government.

Because of this decision, Isabel Franco was no longer a member of the Citizens party. She continued her work in the regional government, focusing on her duties as Vice President and Minister.
