Arias Navarro II Government

The Arias Navarro II Government was formed on 12 December 1975 following Carlos Arias Navarro's confirmation as Prime Minister of Spain by King Juan Carlos I on 5 December, as a result of his enthronement as new head of state of Spain following Francisco Franco's death on 20 November 1975.[1][2][3] Arias Navarro's second cabinet was the first to serve under the restored monarchy of Spain. It succeeded the first Arias Navarro government and was the Government of Spain from 12 December 1975 to 8 July 1976, a total of 209 days, or 6 months and 26 days.

Proving incapable of adapting to the coming changes and reluctant to democratize the regime, Arias Navarro would submit his resignation as prime minister on 1 July 1976, with the cabinet remaining in acting capacity under Fernando de Santiago until the next government was sworn in.[4][5]

Council of Ministers

The Council of Ministers was structured into the offices for the prime minister, the three deputy prime ministers and 19 ministries, including one minister without portfolio.

Notes
  1. Does not include the Prime Minister.
gollark: Working on a *very* basic CC web thing which works by running CraftOS-PC on the backend. It doesn't really, er, work.
gollark: I have no idea what I did which made it do *that*.
gollark: And it draws that whole taskbar thing at the bottom *just* for the `start` button, since this "OS" is monotasking and doesn't actually have windowing support at all.
gollark: The `settings` option doesn't work, `programs` is only Paint and LuaIDE, and there's no way to get a shell except the `run` button.
gollark: Also, you're doing fake loading bars in startup, which is basically evil.
