The deputy prime minister of Spain, officially vice president of the Government (Spanish: Vicepresidencia del Gobierno), is the second in command to the Prime Minister, assuming the responsibilities of the premiership when the prime minister is absent or incapable of exercising power.
The deputy prime minister is usually handpicked by the Prime Minister from the members of the Council of Ministers and appointed by the Monarch before whom they take an oath. The deputy prime minister may be the head of a government department, but it depends on the will of the prime minister, who may have a deputy premier without a portfolio.
When there are more than one deputy prime minister, this position is called First Deputy Prime Minister (Spanish: Vicepresidente Primero/Vicepresidenta Primera del Gobierno). Since 2023, there are four deputy prime ministers; Nadia Calviño serves as first deputy prime minister since 12 July 2021 and as minister of Economy since 2018.[2]
