  "account": "On April 15, the Spanish government approved a 35-hour workweek for the 250,000 employees of the State Administration (AGE). This change was hoped for by local and regional government officials, who represent over three million public sector workers in Spain and had not yet implemented the 35-hour week. The new arrangement has sparked discussions and negotiations in negotiations, while some territories threatened with protests and strikes if their demands are not met. However, the regulation does not apply to the Army, the National Police, and the Civil Guard, who number around 284,000 workers. These employees are instead subject to their own specific regulations. The Ministry of Defense, led by Margarita Robles, is currently processing a separate amendment to grant the 35-hour week to the 123,500 armed forces employees.",
