On 29 July 2019, with the aim of avoiding a very big mixed group, a new proposal for creating groups with only two members was allowed.[3] This reform allowed United Left, Asturias Forum and Vox to have their own parliamentary group.

Deaths, resignations and suspensions[]

The 11th General Junta has seen the following deaths, resignations and suspensions:

  • 29 May 2019 – Carmen Moriyón, leader of Foro Asturias and the number 1 candidate on FAC's list for the Central District, declined to take her seat in the General Junta after her party's poor results in the elections.[4] She was replaced by Pedro Leal (FAC).
  • 24 June 2019 - Juan Vazquez, an independent politician and number 1 candidate on Ciudadanos' list for the Central District, resigned a few hours after taking his seat, after political dissagrements with Ciudadanos' new pact policy, among other things.[5] Ana Rosa Fonseca, also an independent politician, was number 6 candidate on Ciudadanos' list, and therefore, she should replace Juan Vazquez as deputy. However, she declined to take her seat for similar reasons than the ones put up by Vazquez.[6] Susana Fernández (Cs) replaced Vazquez on 12 July 2019.[7]
  • 30 December 2019 - Ana María Coto (Cs) resigned after voting differently from her colleagues before the regional budget.[8] On 4 January 2021, Cristobal de la Coba, who should replace Coto, announced that he will not be taking his seat.[9] She was replaced by Luis Fanjul Villa on 7 January 2020.[10]
  • 19 November 2020 - Lorena Gil (Podemos), spokesperson for Podemos, resigned due to political disagreements with her party, saying that there were "obstacles" that prevented her from doing her political job correctly.[11] Ricardo Menéndez (Independent, Podemos) replaced her on 23 December 2021, after Jara Cosculluela (Podemos), who was up in the list, declined to take her seat.[12][13]
  • 4 January 2022 - Laura Pérez Macho (Cs) resigned after various clashes with the regional leadership of the party.[14] She was replaced by Manuel Cifuentes (Cs) on 26 January 2022.[15]
