Felipe VI Receives Juanma Moreno, Completing Audiences With Re‑Elected PP Leaders

Royal recognition of new regional mandates came with a focus on wildfire risk to Andalusia's tourism.

Overview

  • Juanma Moreno met the King at the Palace of the Zarzuela on Tuesday, July 21, in the first royal audience since his re‑election.
  • Moreno described the meeting as cordial and said they discussed Andalusia’s present and future, including industry, tourism and football.
  • The conversation flagged recent wildfires in Almería and Los Gallardos and centred on prevention measures and longer, more intense heat waves that reduce hotel bookings.
  • Moreno took office for a third term on July 5 after an investiture in the Andalusian Parliament that relied on votes from the far‑right party Vox.
  • The audience completed a sequence of Zarzuela meetings with other re‑elected PP regional presidents — María Guardiola, Jorge Azcón and Alfonso Fernández Mañueco — all of whom secured office with Vox support.
