Carlo directly appointed the cabinet positions of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Royal Affairs.
The formal title for Spain's Deputy Prime Minister is Minister of State, meaning a cabinet minister assisting the Prime Minister in handling state affairs. The Deputy Prime Minister plays the Prime Minister's role when the latter is unable to manage state affairs, hence it is quite a crucial position.
The Minister of Royal Affairs, as the name implies, is a cabinet minister helping the government liaise with the royal family. Since it requires sufficient understanding of royal affairs, Carlo directly makes appointments for this position.
In addition, the positions of Minister of Colonial Affairs and Minister of Justice are elected by the Senate, with no replacement or nomination power by the Prime Minister or the ruling party.
