Basque Government

The Basque Government is the autonomous government of the Basque Country, a region in northern Spain. Established in 1979, it oversees local affairs such as education, healthcare, and transportation while also representing the Basque people in broader political matters. The government operates under its own statute of autonomy, allowing it to make decisions independently from the central Spanish government. It consists of an elected parliament and a president, similar to a regional government structure. The Basque Government aims to promote the cultural identity and economic development of the Basque people while managing local needs effectively.
