MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's secretary of state for energy, Sara Aagesen, will replace Teresa Ribera as energy and environment minister, a government source said on Friday, confirming reports in La Vanguardia and El Pais newspapers.
Ribera has been appointed vice-president of the European Commission. The EU assembly still has to formally approve all 26 commissioners, which is expected to happen next week.
Aagesen, secretary of state since 2020, is a 48-year-old trained chemical engineer, specialising in environment.
