Royal Decree 616/2026 amends the organisational structure of the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration to elevate the rank of the Legal Service Directorate from sub-directorate general to Directorate-General (Art. 2.4 and additional provision 1 of RD 501/2024). This change addresses the complexity of its functions and the need to coordinate legal assistance across multiple ministerial departments, including Health and Social Rights, Consumer Affairs, and the 2030 Agenda.
The regulation does not alter the rights of individuals or the obligations of companies, but rather modifies the internal structure of the Administration. For the Administration, it provides greater capacity for management and coordination of legal assistance in the face of digital challenges and highly complex matters. The Legal Service is attached to the State Secretariat for Social Security and Pensions with a higher organisational level to facilitate its intervention in matters of significant importance.
