Abstract

Until lately, the relationship between the motion of no-confidence and the power to dissolve the Parliament in the constitutional order of 1978 seemed to be free from complications. However, recent events have shown that difficult situations can arise, the most serious of which is the simultaneous use of both procedures. Such problems are mainly due to the unusual and eclectic structure of the Spanish parliamentary government. This work seeks to deepen the study of our institutions, aiming to offer a new perspective that goes beyond hermeneutics and takes into account the foreseeable interaction between law and political reality.
