# Second government of María Chivite

The second government of María Chivite was formed on 18 August 2023, following the latter's election as President of the Government of Navarre by the Parliament of Navarre on 15 August and her swearing-in on 17 August, as a result of the Socialist Party of Navarre (PSN–PSOE) being able to muster a majority of seats in the Parliament together with Geroa Bai (GBai) and Contigo Navarra (Contigo/Zurekin), with external support from EH Bildu, following the 2023 Navarrese regional election. It will succeed the first Chivite government and is the incumbent Government of Navarre since 18 August 2023, a total of 524 days.
The cabinet comprises members of the PSN–PSOE, GBai—with the involvement of the Basque Nationalist Party (EAJ/PNV) and Future Social Greens (GSB/GSV)—and Contigo/Zurekin (represented in the cabinet by Podemos), as well as a number of independents proposed by the first two parties.

## Cabinet changes

Chivite's first government saw a number of cabinet changes during its tenure:
* On 16 August 2023, José Luis Arasti was proposed as Economy and Finance minister in the new Chivite's cabinet, but his swearing-in had to wait until he could step down from his post as Government Delegate in Navarre. In the meantime, Juan Cruz Cigudosa was temporarily entrusted with the office's portfolio until Arasti could take office on 30 August.
* On 1 December 2023, Cigudosa was announced for the post of Secretary of State in the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities of the newly-formed Sánchez III Government, resulting in him stepping down as University, Innovation and Digital Transformation minister on 5 December. Patricia Fanlo was announced as Cigudosa's successor, taking office on 11 December.

## Council of Government

The Council of Government is structured into the offices for the president, the three vice presidents and 13 ministries.
