“Spanish presidential elections” -> Spain is a monarchy.
Chiqui Esteban said:
Andrea, it’s true here in Spain we’re a monarchy, but anyway we have a president of the government and presidential elections each four years (legally what we vote is the Congress, and the Congress vote for the president, but actually what we’re voting is the president too).
Andrea said:
Hi Chiqui, I know. My MA thesis was about Spanish constitution
. There are no “presidential” elections by law anyway, as you confirm, and the linked page is reporting it correctly

Great work and congrats to all of the winners. Some really inspiring things here. I especially liked the 7 Billion piece. Amazing to think we have grown from just 2 billion 65 years ago.
