Minister of Defence
Template:Undue weight section During his cabinet spell, José Bono was involved in various events receiving widespread news coverage in Spain. Some of them related to his role as Minister of Defence (e.g. the controversy created by the public declarations of Lt. General Template:Ill about the 1978 Spanish Constitution, defending the possibility of an intervention of the armed forces to maintain the territorial integrity of Spain), and others connected to his membership of the Socialist Workers' Party, the most significant of them being the detention of two members of the Popular Party (PP) who were participating with him in a popular demonstration, after they had allegedly attempted to assault him. He was elected President of the Congress of Deputies on 1 April 2008.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
