This is the new Spanish government led by Pedro Sánchez

The cabinet balances gender with 12 women and 11 men. It features six Madrid ministers, one less Catalan, and an average ministerial age of just over 52.7 years.

Four Vice Presidents

The new cabinet includes four vice presidents, an increase from the previous term. Nadia Calviño serves as First Vice President and Minister of Economy. Yolanda Díaz is the Second Vice President and Minister of Labour. Teresa Ribera holds the Third Vice Presidency and the Ministry of Ecological Transition. María Jesús Montero is the Fourth Vice President and Minister of Finance. Sánchez’s first cabinet, formed in June 2018, started with 18 members and expanded to 23 post-December 2019 elections and the coalition with Podemos.

Gender dominance and experience

Sánchez’s governments have consistently featured more women than men. The percentage of women has never fallen below 47.8%. The last government included five non-PSOE ministers, now reduced to four. Six ministers from Sánchez’s initial June 2018 cabinet remain. In total, 51 individuals have served in various capacities since Sánchez’s tenure began.
