Compared to mbers of the House of Representatives, the Senate does not have the power to supervise the governnt. However, this does not an the Senate is unimportant, as the Senate’s attitude is crucial for the final implentation of any bill.
Currently, the Spanish House of Representatives has the most seats, totaling 208, allocated to each region according to the population proportions of different regions and colonies.
The Senate’s seats are relatively fixed, totaling less than 30. Each region and colony has only one seat, usually held by the regional head or the Governor of the Colony.
In addition, the only other mbers who can join the Senate are the Cabinet Ministers and the Pri Minister, which essentially ans that the Senate’s mbers are high-ranking officials within the Spanish Governnt.
After all, whether a bill is suitable for execution across the various regions of Spain, these officials have so degree of authority to express their opinions. mbers of the House of Representatives often consider matters from a single perspective, frequently overlooking the governnt’s concerns.
At this point, the Senate’s opinions beco particularly important. Under the Senate’s guidance, the laws enacted by the House of Representatives can be steered in a direction more conducive to Spain’s developnt, at least ensuring the laws have a beneficial impact rather than a harmful one.
The eting to retrieve the Spanish Governnt’s work report for the year 1872 was quite grand.
All 208 representatives from the House of Representatives attended, along with the Cabinet Ministers and Carlo, making the eting scene exceptionally lively.
Leading the eting was naturally Pri Minister Prim, whose job was to establish a tone for the governnt work report eting, while leaving space for each departnt minister to showcase their achievents.
For Pri Minister Prim, these accolades are already insignificant. As long as he is willing, he can retain victory in the next cabinet council election.
After all, more than half of the 208 representatives support him and the Progressive Party. In this situation, unless Pri Minister Prim voluntarily withdraws, it’s hard for the House of Representatives election to lose.
"Honorable His Majesty the King, all representatives. It’s an honor to report the annual work of the Spanish Cabinet Governnt for 1872 as the Pri Minister of Spain in such an occasion.
The developnt of Spain’s various industries throughout 1872 has been very rapid. According to the estimates from the civil affairs departnt, Spain is projected to have a population of 17.45 million by the end of 1872, an increase of at least 230,000 from the previous year.
The total national production last year reached 7.212 billion Pesseta, an increase of 8.1% compared to the prior year.
With the growth of the total economic scale, the governnt’s fiscal revenue also hit a new high, approximately reaching 525.9 million Pesseta.
However, our total fiscal expenditure still exceeds fiscal revenue, with last year’s total fiscal expenditure reaching 557.5 million Pesseta, resulting in an annual fiscal deficit of 31.6 million Pesseta.
By the end of 1872, our total railway mileage has exceeded 6900 kiloters, and is expected to surpass 7000 kiloters in three months.
From late 1868 to the end of 1872, we have surpassed the railway mileage built by the previous governnt from late 1858 to late 1868 within just four years.
In the future, we will continue to emphasize the construction of Spanish railways and plan to increase Spain’s total railway mileage to at least 7500 kiloters by February 1874."
Pri Minister Prim’s report was brief, but Spain’s progress in 1872 was very apparent. Almost every area saw significant developnt, and the railway mileage increased at a rate of at least 300 kiloters per year.
Moreover, according to Pri Minister Prim, the railway total mileage will be increased to about 7500 kiloters by February 1874.
Currently, there is just over a year left until February 1874, and more than 600 kiloters of railway need to be constructed.
This is not a small challenge for the Cabinet Governnt, but if completed, it would also be a substantial achievent.
Although the five-year plan promulgated by the Spanish Governnt began after the establishnt of the Cabinet Governnt, the tifra is calculated in conjunction with the Cabinet Governnt’s establishnt.
It makes sense, after all, if the five-year plan is completed, the achievents brought to the cabinet mbers would be imasurable.
The Cabinet Governnt naturally cannot leave such a significant achievent to the next session, even if it ans a little less ti; they must ensure the five-year plan is completed during their term.
Even if the results co a bit late, the accolades will still be within their grasp. But if completed during the next governnt’s term, the credit may have little to do with them.
The Cabinet Ministers are not foolish, which is why the term of the Cabinet Governnt and the developnt plan both span five years.
This phenonon occurs frequently in various countries, and Carlo naturally will not stop it. After all, when the developnt plan closely relates to their own achievents and future prospects, these officials will earnestly strive to fulfill the plan.
The real concern is a governnt that constantly changes, where policies promulgated by the previous governnt are not executed by the succeeding governnt.
In Spain’s history, the period of Amadeo’s reign and the subsequent republic period was like this. To say that all pri ministers during this ti were incompetent? Probably not.
But the biggest issue is the rapid change of the Spanish Governnt during this period, where every cabinet governnt often just enacts laws, and the succeeding governnt is already in place.
