Carlos Cuerpo, the most moderate minister who is not a member of the PSOE, already holds three portfolios in the final stretch of the campaign

As Spain approaches challenging elections, President Pedro Sánchez increasingly relies on Carlos Cuerpo Caballero, a non-PSOE minister, to manage key portfolios. Cuerpo, who has taken over Transport and Mobility after Óscar Puente's resignation, is praised for his management skills and integrity. His rapid rise includes roles in Economy and as First Vice President, reflecting a shift towards a more moderate approach. Despite his ambitions, including a bid for Eurogroup presidency, he remains untainted by scandals and is well-regarded in the business sector. However, he has declined to join PSOE lists, leaving his future uncertain amid potential electoral changes.
