Consejo de Ministros

The Consejo de Ministros, Spain's Council of Ministers, is the main executive body of the Spanish government, responsible for approving laws and policies. Recent news highlights its active role in addressing key national issues. The Council is currently newsworthy due to its approval of a large-scale plan to regularize approximately half a million undocumented immigrants, a move defended by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as necessary for Spain's economy and addressing its aging population. In addition, the Council has approved measures to provide reparations for victims of pederasty within the Church and is working on a constitutional reform to guarantee the right to abortion. They also declared 42 zones of emergency due to recent storms and addressed the resignation of the head of the state meteorological agency. These actions demonstrate the Consejo de Ministros' significant influence on Spanish society and its proactive approach to pressing social and economic challenges.
