The Leroux government (Sarracese: Gouvernement Leroux) is the fifteenth and current government of the Sarracese Republic.[1] It was formed on 10 May 2019, a month and five days after being granted the confidence of the Sarracese Parliament. It is led by the Radical Civic Union, which is the largest political force of the current legislature, and counts with the participation of Citizens-Republican Left, Ecologists, Independent Regionalist Union and the Humanist Movement.
It is the first cabinet in Sarracese history to have five deputy premiers and the second to be led by a woman. It has been described as a "transversal cabinet" by the media due to the radical centrism exhibited by Jaqueline Leroux when inviting parties from both the centre-right and the centre-left of the Sarracese political spectrum to form a cabinet. The government has also been seen as a consolidation of the Radical Civic Union as one of the strongest political forces of Sarrac, dividing the vote before shared between Popular Alliance and the Socialist Party, which are identified with the log history of bipartidism until it was broken by the first Pou Chacón Government.
