Spain's political system

Spain has a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, meaning it recognizes a king or queen as head of state within a framework of laws. The government is led by a Prime Minister, who is elected by the parliament, called the Congreso de los Diputados. Spain’s parliament is bicameral, with the Congress and the Senate, representing the people and the regions. The Prime Minister and the cabinet are responsible for running the country, while the monarchy has a ceremonial role. Regional governments have significant powers, reflecting Spain’s diverse languages and cultures. Overall, Spain’s system balances the monarchy, elected representatives, and regional autonomy within a democratic framework.
