Prime Minister of Spain

The President of the Government (Spanish: Presidente del Gobierno) is the Head of Government of Spain. He is usually referred to in English as the Prime Minister, the usual term for the head of government in a constitutional monarchy. More than once, the Spanish term has caused embarrassing errors among foreign authorities, such as referring to the "president of the Spanish Republic."
