The government of María Guardiola was formed on 21 July 2023, following the latter's election as president of Extremadura by the Assembly of Extremadura on 14 July and her swearing-in on 17 July, as a result of the People's Party (PP) and Vox being able to muster a majority of seats in the Assembly following the 2023 Extremaduran regional election. It succeeded the third government of Guillermo Fernández Vara and has been the incumbent Government of Extremadura since 21 July 2023, a total of 969 days, or 2 years, 7 months and 23 days.
Until 2024, the cabinet comprised members of the PP and Vox, as well as a number of independents proposed by the first party. On 11 July 2024, Vox leader Santiago Abascal forced the break up of all PP–Vox governments at the regional level over a national controversy regarding the distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors among the autonomous communities.
