The seventh government of Francisco Franco was formed on 8 July 1965. It succeeded the sixth Franco government and was the government of Spain from 8 July 1965 to 30 October 1969, a total of days, or .
Franco's seventh cabinet was made up of members from the different factions or "families" within the National Movement: mainly the FET y de las JONS partyâÂÂthe only legal political party during the Francoist regimeâÂÂthe military, the Opus Dei and the National Catholic Association of Propagandists (ACNP), as well as a number of aligned-nonpartisan technocrats or figures from the civil service. The cabinet would see an extensive reshuffle in October 1969 as a result of internal divisions between the various factions within the Movement and the unveiling of the Matesa scandal earlier that year. During the cabinet's tenure the Organic Law of the State would be passed in 1967, regulating key aspects of the structuring and functioning of the government.
The Council of Ministers was structured into the offices for the prime minister, the deputy prime minister and 18 ministries, including two ministers without portfolio.
Francisco Franco's seventh government was organised into several superior and governing units, whose number, powers and hierarchical structure varied depending on the ministerial department.
