Lehendakari

Lehendakari is the title for the head of the Basque Government in Spain, similar to a regional president. The Lehendakari is responsible for leading the autonomous community of the Basque Country, implementing policies, managing public administration, and representing the region both nationally and internationally. The role is established by the Basque Statute of Autonomy and involves working with the Basque Parliament to address local issues, promote cultural identity, and ensure regional development within the framework of Spanish law. Essentially, the Lehendakari acts as the chief executive of the Basque Government.
