Women dominate Spanish cabinet
April 15th, 2008 - Chris MarshallMy self education regards Spain continues!
Spain’s Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has unveiled his new cabinet, which for the first time includes more women than men. (BBC)
Brought back memories of when Tony Blair was first elected Prime Minister and they made a big thing about ‘Blair’s Babes’ as he had a large number of woman in Parliament, but as with everything the spin seemed more important than the substance and you would be hard pushed to name more than a couple that made it into the cabinet and stayed there.
So it was somewhat refreshing to see that the Spanish cabinet is split 50/50 when you take Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero into account, and the former housing minister, Carme Chacon, one of the rising stars of Spain’s Socialist party, becomes its first ever female defence minister.
