The President and the seat of government

The President of the Council is the ultimate representative of the community. The president directs the actions of the Junta of Castile and León and plays a coordinating role among Council members. The seat of the presidency is at the School of the Assumption of Valladolid, whose original blueprints from 1902 are attributed to Santiago Guadilla. The President is chosen by the Cortes of Castile and León, can be removed by them if he or she loses the support of more than half of the representatives, and has the capacity to appoint and dismiss the ministers. The term of a president is tied to the legislature term length (the default legislative term is four years), and the president may be reelected without term limit.

Presidents since inception (1983)

In the pre-autonomous stage, the General Council of Castile and León (1978–83) was chaired by Juan Manuel Reol Tejada (UCD) during the period 1978–80 and by José Manuel García-Verdugo Candón (UCD) during the period 1981–83.[2]

Vice-presidents and ministers

The President can appoint and dismiss freely one or more vice-presidents. At the head of each ministry there is a minister, who is appointed freely by the President, and each one is subdivided into departments that coordinate and direct the administrative services. Some ministries include one or more vice ministers in their structure. In addition each ministry has a general secretary, various departments and even diverse autonomous branches and state-owned companies.

In Decree No. 2/2015, of 7 July, from the President of the Junta of Castile and León, regarding restructuring of the ministries, the current organizational structure of the Board of Castile and León is defined.
