Vicky González Vega is acting head at AAFAF; María Marín Colón goes to COR3

On August 14, 2026, Primera Hora reports that Governor Jenniffer González Colón named Vicky González Vega acting director of the Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority. She replaces Francisco Domenech, who left on August 7 after it emerged that two independent special prosecutors were investigating him for possible crimes. The outlet stresses that La Fortaleza did not explain why the appointment is acting and not in her own right. González Vega had been AAFAF deputy director since September 2024 and chief of staff since March 2021. The post does not require Senate confirmation.

At COR3, she named María Marín Colón executive director. Primera Hora did not say where she worked before; it cited more than 20 years in accounting, government, insurance, banking, and public service, and experience with federal funds. It also does not require confirmation. On August 11, WIPR had cited her as acting executive director when announcing FEMA obligations. This note of the 14th is the appointment the statement treats as done.

Other names that do go to the Senate, and that in recess may serve while confirmation is pending: José Juan Tañón, tenor, to the Conservatory of Music board - he was already secretary of that board. Carlos A. Rubio Cancela, a new term on the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture board. Juan C. Fierres González, president of the Bid Review Board. Anthony Y. Yrimia Herrera, commissioner of the Telecommunications Bureau. Omar M. Rodríguez González, associate commissioner of the Energy Bureau.

On August 10, Primera Hora covered Norma Burgos at the Governorship. On the 14th, El Nuevo Día covered 127 million from the Board for the AAA, another kernel on this desk. This piece covers AAFAF, COR3, and the boards. It is not mixed with the Power Expectations revocation of the same 14th at another URL.
