Cortes Generales

The Cortes Generales is the legislative body or parliament of Spain, responsible for making laws, approving budgets, and overseeing the government. It consists of two chambers: the Congress of Deputies and the Senate. Members are elected by Spanish citizens through voting, with Deputies representing the people directly and Senators representing regional interests. The Cortes plays a crucial role in Spain’s democracy by debating legislation, holding the government accountable, and ensuring the country's laws reflect the will of its citizens. It operates within the framework of Spain’s constitution and is central to the country's political system.
