González III cabinet
The González III cabinet was a government in Spain that was formed on December 6, 1989 by Prime Minister Felipe González of the Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) and replaced the González II cabinet .
In the previous elections to the Congreso de los Diputados on October 29, 1989, the PSOE of González emerged victorious with 39.9 percent of the vote, but narrowly missed an absolute majority with 175 of the 350 MPs. The conservative Partido Popular (PP) around José María Aznar was the second strongest force with 26 percent and 107 members of parliament, while the Convergència i Unió (CiU) of Miquel Roca was the third strongest force in parliament with 5.1 percent and 18 seats. The fourth-placed Izquierda Unida (IU) by Julio Anguita received 9.1 percent and 17 seats and the Centro Democrático y Social (CDS) of the former Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez with 7.9 percent, which landed in fifth place with 14 members.
On December 5, 1989, the Congreso de los Diputados confirmed Prime Minister González, who was sworn in on December 6, 1989 by King Juan Carlos I. Suárez in front of the Palacio de la Zarzuela . On December 7, 1989, the Boletín Oficial del Estado published the composition of the González III cabinet. On May 2, 1990, the first and on January 15, 1991, the second cabinet reshuffle took place, as a result of which the previous Vice-Prime Minister Alfonso Guerra resigned from the government. On March 13, 1991 and January 15, 1992, the cabinet was reorganized for the third and fourth time. The last time the cabinet was restructured was on June 24, 1992, before new parliamentary elections were held on June 6, 1993. The González III cabinet remained in office until July 14, 1993, when it was replaced by the González IV cabinet .
