SPAIN-POLITICS Spain swears in new cabinet with record number of women
MADRID, June 7, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – King Felipe VI on Thursday swore in
Spain’s new pro-EU government with a record 11 women members including in key
posts such as defence and economy, and six male ministers.
With just 84 seats in Spain’s 350-seat parliament, Socialist Prime
Minister Pedro Sanchez’s administration also has the smallest representation
of any government since the country returned to democracy and it is not
expected to last until the end of its mandate in 2020.
