Spain - Senate

The Senate in Spain is the upper house of the country's bicameral legislature, known as the Cortes Generales. It is one of the two chambers of the Spanish Parliament, with the other being the Congress of Deputies. The Senate represents the interests of the autonomous communities and acts as a chamber of territorial representation. The Senate consists of 266 seats, which are allocated among the different regions and autonomous communities in Spain. Each province is represented by four senators, while the autonomous communities are represented by a variable number of senators based on their population. The Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands have three senators each, while Ceuta and Melilla, which are Spanish territories in North Africa, have two senators each. The primary role of the Senate is to review and propose amendments to legislation passed by the Congress of Deputies. It also has the power to veto certain decisions made by the lower house. The Senate serves as a platform for dialogue and negotiation between the central government and the autonomous communities.
