Changes

  • On 23 September 2014, Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón resigned as Minister of Justice, after the government chose to withdraw his proposed abortion bill. The decision was said to come over the loss of personal prestige resulting from a staunch defense of the bill, with Rajoy's u-turn on the issue being seen as a personal disavowal of Gallardón.[4][5] Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría was charged with the ordinary duties of the affairs of the Ministry for Justice until Gallardon's successor, Rafael Catalá, could take office on 29 September 2014.[6]
  • On 26 November 2014, Ana Mato resigned as Minister of Health, Social Services and Equality due to her involvement in the Gürtel case, after she was summoned to court as a "participant on a lucrative basis" in the corruption crimes allegedly committed by former husband Jesús Sepúlveda. Her resignation came one day before a plenary in Congress on corruption in Prime Minister Rajoy was scheduled to intervene, and after Mato herself had announced earlier that day that she had not considered her resignation.[7] Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría took on the ordinary duties of the affairs of the ministry until her successor, Alfonso Alonso, could take office on 3 December 2014.[8][9]

From 21 December 2015, Rajoy's cabinet took on caretaker duties for the duration of the government formation process resulting from the 2015 general election.[12][13] This lasted for over 300 days and saw a new general election being held in the meantime. A number of ministers renounced their posts throughout this period, with the ordinary duties of their ministries being transferred to other cabinet members as a result of Rajoy being unable to appoint replacements while in caretaker role.

Composition

The Council of Ministers was structured into the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister, 13 ministries and the post of Spokesperson of the Government.[21][22][23][24]
