	Prime Minister of Spain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The President of the Government is elected by the Congress of Deputies (the lower house of parliament) on being proposed by the King.

	Draft of same-sex marriage law OK'd in Spain \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		MADRID, Spain – Spain took a major step to becoming the third country to legalize same-sex marriage when its Socialist government approved a draft law yesterday to give gay couples rights to marry, divorce and adopt children.
		Despite strong criticism from the Catholic Church, a powerful institution in Spain, the Cabinet approved a draft text that would give gay couples the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts, including inheritance and pension benefits.
		Spain's Bishops' Conference called the draft "erroneous and unjust" and warned that it would devalue the social status of marriage.

		The conservative cabinet was solid politically with its traditional constituencies, but dramatically weak in convincing the media of its message.
		Spain was indeed an ally of the US in the campaign against terrorism, but limited in some respects.

	Spain: Zapatero choses a business-friendly cabinet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Spain’s new prime minister elect, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, has chosen an executive for his new Socialist Workers Party of Spain (PSOE) government, which will be sworn in on April 18.
		Spain has experienced something of a boom under the PP, largely as a result of massive subsidies from the European Union and its ability to attract international investment from those companies seeking access to the European market alongside cheap labour, subsidies and low taxation.
		It is to be staffed by career politicians, many of whom served in the previous PSOE government of Felipe Gonzalez, that left the political scene in the middle of a financial scandal in 1996.

	The Project Gutenberg eBook of A Compilation of the Messages and Papers Of The Presidents, by James D. Richardson
		The efforts of Spain were increased, both by the dispatch of fresh levies to Cuba and by the addition to the horrors of the strife of a new and inhuman phase happily unprecedented in the modern history of civilized Christian peoples.
		In the contest between Spain and her revolted colonies we stood aloof and waited, not only until the ability of the new States to protect themselves was fully established, but until the danger of their being again subjugated had entirely passed away.
		Spain having thus denied the demand of the United States and initiated that complete form of rupture of relations which attends a state of war, the executive powers authorized by the resolution were at once used by me to meet the enlarged contingency of actual war between sovereign states.

	Spain: Somebody Turn Down the Heat
		Because fiscal policy is not sufficiently tight to offset the stimulus from the European Central Bank's 2.5% policy rate, which was cut in April from 3%, Spain is in danger of overheating.
		Spain's Cabinet approved a 2000 budget on Sept. 24 that projects economic growth of 3.7% next year, the same as in 1999, and a drop in the budget deficit to 0.8% of gross domestic product, from 1.4% this year.
		Given its own policy choice, Spain would likely opt for higher rates right now, but the ECB is unlikely to move until recoveries in Germany and France are more firmly in place.
