Suárez I Government


The Suárez I Government was formed on 8 July 1976 following Adolfo Suárez's appointment as Prime Minister of Spain by King Juan Carlos I on 3 July and his swearing-in on 5 July, as a result of Carlos Arias Navarro's resignation from the post on 1 July 1976. Suárez's first cabinet was composed mainly by members of the FET y de las JONS party—the only legal political party at the time of its formation—and a number of independent, military figures; but also by members of political associations such as the Spanish Democratic Union and the People's Party, which would later be legalized as parties. It succeeded the second Arias Navarro government and was the Government of Spain from 8 July 1976 to 5 July 1977, a total of days, or.
On 7 April 1977, the National Movement was officially disbanded, with many cabinet members joining the nascent Union of the Democratic Centre upon its formation in May 1977.
