The Government prohibits former senior officials from working for lobbyists for two years after leaving office.

The Spanish government has implemented a prohibition preventing former high-ranking officials of the General State Administration from working for lobbying entities for two years following their departure from office. These individuals are restricted from engaging in professional influence activities for private entities regarding matters that fall under the jurisdiction of the department or organization where they previously served.

This measure is designed to regulate the transition of public officials into the private sector, specifically targeting the potential for conflicts of interest. By imposing this two-year cooling-off period, the administration aims to prevent the leveraging of institutional knowledge and professional networks for private gain in areas directly related to the officials' former responsibilities.
