Sánchez II Government
The Sánchez II Government was formed on 13 January 2020 following Pedro Sánchez's election as Prime Minister of Spain by the Congress of Deputies on 7 January and his swearing-in on 8 January, as a result of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party emerging as the largest parliamentary force at the November 2019 general election. It succeeded the first Sánchez government and is the incumbent Government of Spain since 13 January 2020, a total of days.
The cabinet comprises members of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and Unidas Podemos as well as independents proposed by both parties, to become the first nationwide coalition government to be formed in Spain since the Second Spanish Republic. It has also been referred to as the "progressive coalition", after the name of the political agreement signed by PSOE and Unidas Podemos.
At 22 ministries, it is the second largest cabinet in Spain since the country's transition to democracy, only behind the Suárez III Government; the first time that a government includes four deputy prime ministers; and the third oldest government to be formed, with a median age of 54.2 upon its formation.
