Hi friends!

2
00:00:02,690 --> 00:00:06,690
This is a video about Spain's political organization.

3
00:00:06,690 --> 00:00:12,689
At the end of this video you are going to be able to identify four institutions, their members and functions.

4
00:00:12,689 --> 00:00:15,689
First of all, the king.

5
00:00:15,689 --> 00:00:19,690
Spain is a monarchic democracy and the king is Felipe VI.

6
00:00:19,690 --> 00:00:24,690
He is the head of state and the captain of the armed forces.

7
00:00:24,690 --> 00:00:27,690
Then, there's the parliament.

8
00:00:27,690 --> 00:00:33,689
The members of the parliament are chosen by the citizens over 18, who vote for the candidates.

9
00:00:34,689 --> 00:00:43,689
They vote in a white envelope for the deputies, who make the laws, and in an orange envelope for the senators, who control the government.

10
00:00:46,689 --> 00:00:50,689
The government is another institution in the Spanish political system.

11
00:00:51,689 --> 00:00:54,689
The president and the ministers are the ones who implement the laws.

12
00:00:57,689 --> 00:01:06,689
Last but not least, there's the court. Here is where a judge evaluates whether the law has been obeyed or not.

13
00:01:07,689 --> 00:01:13,689
This is all. We hope you've learned something new today and don't forget to tune in for more interesting content.
