When I ran across
this photograph in the BBC's Day in Pictures, I had to smile. It depicts "Spain's new Defense Minister Carme Chacón - the first woman in the post - [as she] reviews troops in Madrid. She is seven months' pregnant."
According to Chacón, the role of the military is to defend "la paz y la legalidad en el mundo" - peace and the rule of law throughout the world.
In a separate article, the BBC notes that
Spain's new cabinet includes more women than men. Viva España, indeed.
