Functions

The Parliament's functions are regulated by the "Organic Law on the Reintegration and Improvement of the Autonomous Regime in Navarre" (Ley Orgánica de Reintegración y Amejoramiento del Régimen Foral de Navarra, also known as LORAFNA). These functions include representing the Navarre people, approving the laws and General Budget and electing and controlling the President, as in any other parliamentary system.[1]

In the 2007 election, 22 seats were won by Navarrese People's Union, 12 by Navarre Yes, 12 by Socialist Party of Navarre, 2 by Democrats' Convergence of Navarre, and 2 by United Left (Spain).[3]
