The second government of Carlos Arias Navarro was formed on 12 December 1975, following the latter's confirmation as Prime Minister of Spain by King Juan Carlos I on 5 December, as a result of his enthronement as the new head of state of Spain following dictator Francisco Franco's death on 20 November 1975.[1][2][3] It succeeded the first Arias Navarro government and was the Government of Spain from 12 December 1975 to 5 July 1976, a total of 206 days, or 6 months and 23 days.

Arias Navarro's second cabinet was the first to serve under the restored monarchy of Spain,

parliamentary factions,[7] with one such faction, the Independent Parliamentary Group (GPI), being also present in the government through the figure of Rodolfo Martín Villa.[8]

Proving incapable of adapting to the coming changes and reluctant to democratize the regime, Arias Navarro would submit his resignation as prime minister on 1 July 1976. In accordance with the legal provisions within the Organic Law of the State,[9][10] the cabinet remained in place with Deputy Prime Minister Fernando de Santiago as acting prime minister until the appointment of Adolfo Suárez a few days later, with all ministers being automatically dismissed upon the election of the new prime minister.[11][12]

Council of Ministers

The Council of Ministers was structured into the offices for the prime minister, the three deputy prime ministers and 20 ministries, including one minister without portfolio.
