Spanish Politics

Spanish Politics refers to the political system, processes, and activities that occur within Spain. It encompasses the organization and functioning of the government, including the monarchy, parliament (Cortes Generales), and various political parties. Key elements include issues like the role of regional governments (autonomies), electoral systems, political ideologies, legislation, and the influence of historical, cultural, and social factors on political behavior. Spanish politics is characterized by a multi-party system, with parties representing a range of ideologies from conservative to progressive, and strong regional identities, especially in regions like Catalonia and the Basque Country. The political landscape can also be shaped by contemporary issues such as immigration, the economy, and social policies, reflecting both national and European influences.
