Abstract

This paper examines the long process of government formation that we had in Spain over the last few months. The paper explains the changes in the political situation and evaluates the functioning of article 99 of the Constitution. Special consideration is given to the role of the king in the procedure of formation of the Government, in general terms, and paying special attention to the performance of King Philip VI. The paper concludes asking whether or not to reform the article studied, and concludes proposing some adjustments of the ordinary legislation that will improve its application in the future.
