He heads the Ministry of Government (Interior), which now includes the Ministry of Communications, and so controls the post office, telephone, telegraph and cable systems. He heads the Falange Española Tradicionalista and so bosses Spain's sole political party, its 2,000,000 members, 800,000 associated female Falangistas and 600,000 Falange youths...
