González I cabinet
The González I cabinet was a government in Spain that was formed on December 3, 1982 by Prime Minister Felipe González of the Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) and replaced the Calvo-Sotelo cabinet .
Previously, the PSOE had clearly won the elections for the Congreso de los Diputados on October 28, 1982, with 48.3 percent of the vote, 203 of the 350 MPs and thus had a broad absolute majority. The conservative Coalición Popular (CP) around Manuel Fraga Iribarne came in second with 26.5 percent and 107 MPs, while the Convergència i Unió (CiU) of Miquel Roca landed in third place with 3.7 percent and twelve MPs. The previously ruling Unión de Centro Democrático (UCD) of the previous President of the Congreso de los Diputados and former Minister of Justice Landelino Lavilla was only the fourth largest force in parliament with 6.5 percent and eleven seats. On 1 December 1982, confirmed Congreso de los Diputados him as the third prime minister after the death of the dictator ruling Francisco Franco launched on 20 November 1975 democratization of Spain . On December 2, 1982, he was sworn in by King Juan Carlos I Suárez in front of the Palacio de la Zarzuela . On December 3, 1982, the Boletín Oficial del Estado published the composition of the González I cabinet.
On July 5, 1985, the only, albeit more extensive, reshuffle of the government took place in which Culture Minister Javier Solana also took over the office of government spokesman. The González I cabinet remained in office until July 25, 1986, when it was replaced by the González II cabinet . Previously, on June 23, 1986, the new elections for the Congreso de los Diputados had taken place.
