Newly appointed Welsh First Minister Vaughan Gething jetted off on holiday just days after taking on the role.
The Labour politician was sworn in as First Minister two weeks ago.
He is said to have flown to Spain on holiday, without having spent a full day in the office or holding the first meeting of his Cabinet.
His spokesperson told Guido Fawkes that, like everyone "in this country" is allowed to, he was "off for a few days".
Welsh First Minister Vaughan Gething jetted off on holiday just days after taking on the role.
They said they were "pretty sure he ws contactable" during his time off.
Reacting to his decision to take holiday just after taking up the post, Andrew RT Davies, leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said: "These are not the actions of someone who will come in and shake things up.
"It's reasonable for ministers to take holidays, but Vaughan Gething has only just been elected."
Gething became the first black leader of a European country after receiving the backing of 27 Senedd Members last month - 26 Labour and one Liberal Democrat.
Leader of the Opposition Andrew RT Davies secured 13 votes and Rhun ap Iorwerth of Plaid Cymru, 11.
Addressing the Senedd, Gething reflected on the historic moment: "We have, of course, today voted to ensure that Wales becomes the first nation anywhere in Europe to be led by a black person”.

"A matter of pride for a modern Wales but also a daunting responsibility for me – one that I will never take lightly and today, we can also expect the depressingly familiar pattern to emerge, abuse on social media, racist tropes disguised with polite language.
"People questioning my motives and my nationality. Whilst others question why I’m ‘playing the race card’. To those people I say – it is very easy not to care about identity when your own has never once been questioned or held you back."
Gething’s winning manifesto focused on making the NHS the budget priority. Expanding childcare was also one of the pledges the First Minister made, as the Welsh Government is under growing pressure to bring childcare policy into line with the UK Government.
He also pledged to tackle the existing 2,500 coal tips across Wales. 58 years after the Aberfan disaster where 116 children and 28 adults died - some coal tips are still yet to be removed and still pose a threat to thousands of people across Wales.
