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 party—the only legal political party during the Francoist regime—the 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.

[4][5] 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.

[6][7] 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.

[9][10] 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.
