Abstract

The chronicle of this year puts forward a theoretical premise that underlines credibility as the starting point of every Government. From this perspective, the paper studies the Rajoy’s government, its efforts to build a majority around the budget and its fall after the “moción de censura”. In parallel, the work continues to analyze the Sánchez Government and its attempts, also around the budget, to form a stable majority, which will end in the call of elections. In addition, the report addresses the main legislative developments of constitutional nature, relating to data protection, digital rights, the vote of persons with disabilities, the Canary Islands Statute, the reform of the LOPJ and the reform of the legal regime of RTVE.
