Changes in political affiliation

Once elected, members are organized in parliamentary groups (Spanish: grupos parlamentarios). The formation of such groups is up to the members, but it is common for members elected within the same list to form part of the same group. Members that do not belong to any group are place in the Mixed Group. Members may leave their group if they wish so. They can also be expelled from it. Their political affiliation is unlinked to the group they belong, meaning that changing or leaving a political party does not mean necessarily leaving or changing group.

The following list records members that changed party and/or group during this session.
