The Office of the Prime Minister, officially Presidency of the Government (Spanish: Presidencia del Gobierno) is the Spanish government structure that groups all the departments and officials that are at the service of the prime minister to fulfil its constitutional duties.[4] It is staffed by a mix of career civil servants and advisers. The highest-ranking official within the Office is the Chief of Staff, which is a political appointment on which the rest of the Office officials depend.
The Office of the Prime Minister, although in the past it was a ministerial department, like any other Ministry,[5] today it does not have a specific legal definition, although its existence is foreseen on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector Act of 2015, when it regulates the Ministries.[6]
Established in 1834, the 1851 General State Budget elevated it to the rank of Ministry, a situation that would last until 1974, when the Ministry of the Presidency was created. Since then, it no longer has the rank of ministry, although its structure and functions are established by a royal decree, and it operates as one.
