La investidura del Presidente del Gobierno: un análisis a la luz de la experiencia reciente = The investiture procedure in Spain: an analysis in light of the recent experience

Abstract

Resumen: Las elecciones generales de 2015 y 2016 en España han puesto fin a un período de más de tres décadas marcado por un claro bipartidismo. Hasta ese momento, los procesos de investidura no revistieron nunca una especial dificultad, lográndose de un modo relativamente rápido la formación de gobierno. La nueva situación política, que ha traído 315 días sin un gobierno en plenitud de funciones, aconseja revisar la normativa constitucional relativa a la elección del Presidente del Gobierno, reflexionando sobre la conveniencia o no de introducir algunas reformas.Palabras clave: Investidura, elección del Presidente, gobierno parlamentario, funciones del Rey, reforma constitucional.Abstract: More than three decades of a strong two-party system ended after the Spanish general elections of 2015 and 2016. Until then, investiture had never been particularly difficult and the formation of the government had taken place rapidly. The new political situation, that produced a 315-day span without government, suggests reviewing the constitutional rules for the election of the President of the Government and discussing whether or not some legal reforms are convenient.Keywords: Investiture, election of the President, parliamentary government, the King's constitutional role, constitutional reform.
