Quote:

Spain's Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has unveiled his new cabinet, which for the first time includes more women than men.

The former housing minister, Carme Chacon, one of the rising stars of Spain's Socialist party, becomes its first ever female defence minister.

While there are five new faces overall, several key members of his last cabinet remain in place.

Mr Zapatero's Socialist party won re-election last month.

"I feel very proud that there are more women ministers than men," Mr Zapatero said, after being sworn in by King Juan Carlos.

Is this the shape of things to come for Spain and could we be looking at the possibility of a female Prime Minister in Spain in the near future?
