# Who is the head of state in Spain?

Question 1011 · Task 1 · Government, legislation and civic participation · CCSE 2026

**In Spanish, as in the exam:** ¿Quién es el jefe del Estado en España?

- a) El presidente del Gobierno. (The president of the Government.)
- b) El rey. (The king.) · Right answer
- c) El ministro de Economía. (The minister of the Economy.)

**Right answer:** b) El rey.

## Why

In Spain the king is the head of state, as the Constitution says. The president of the Government leads the Government and the country's politics, but is not the head of state.
