Vice-Councillor

I think this is the word that the Government of Canarias uses in its documents when commissioning any translation about its internal organization or when the local multilingual press writes about these officials.

Joly good morning to everyone,

deputy minister

I always thought that a consejero belonged to a consejería, which is a regional government ministry, and that a councillor was a concejal (and not a consejero). Canarias is one of the autonomous regions, so I don't see why it would be any different here.
