Spain Begins Its Presidency of the EU Council - Madrid
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the President of the European Commission, Úrsula von der Leyen, on their arrival at the inauguration of the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, on July 3, 2023, in Madrid (Spain). Spain has acceded, since last Saturday July 1, to the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, which it will lead for six months after Sweden has handed over the baton. The next six months is the last stretch of the European institutional cycle before the appointment of a new Commission after the elections to the European Parliament, to be held in May 2024. It will be the fifth time that Spain has presided over the Council, after holding the presidency for the first time between January and June 1989 and again in 1995, 2002 and 2010.
