Spanish politics

Spanish politics is characterized by a parliamentary democracy with a multi-party system. The main political forces include the center-left Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), the center-right People's Party (PP), and various regional parties representing diverse areas like Catalonia and the Basque Country. The Prime Minister is the head of government, chosen from the party or coalition that secures a parliamentary majority. Spain's political landscape emphasizes regional autonomy, economic stability, and social issues, with periodic debates over independence movements and Spain’s role within Europe. The system encourages coalition-building and continuous dialogue among parties to govern effectively.
