Spanish Parliament

The Spanish Parliament, known as the "Cortes Generales," consists of two chambers: the Congress of Deputies and the Senate. It is responsible for making laws, approving the budget, and overseeing the government. The Congress has more power and is made up of representatives elected by the public, while the Senate represents Spain's regions and has a more limited role. Together, they play a crucial part in Spain's democratic system, ensuring that citizens' voices are heard and that the government acts in their interest. The Parliament meets in Madrid and influences a wide range of national issues.
