Presidente del Gobierno Info

Presidente del Gobierno

The president of the Spanish central government and the equivalent of the Prime Minister in the UK. Each party running for power in Spain nominates a person, usually the party leader, to become the president if that party wins the elections. He is appointed for a four-year term, and may be reelected in the next general election. However, the Congreso de los Diputados can pass a vote of censure on him, forcing him to resign and call an early election.
