MADRID, April 12 (Xinhua) — Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero was sworn in Saturday for a second term heading a cabinet composed of nine woman and eight man ministers.
He was inaugurated by King Juan Carlos during a ceremony at the Zarzuela palace near Madrid.
It is the first time that women outnumber men in a Spanish cabinet, in which Zapatero named former Housing Minister Carme Chacon as Spain’s first female defense minister, and 31-year-old Bibiana Aido as Spain’s first equality minister, the youngest cabinet member in Spain’s history.
