The Parliament of Navarre (Spanish Parlamento de Navarra, Basque Nafarroako Parlamentua) or also known as Cortes de Navarra (in Spanish) or Nafarroako Gorteak (in Basque) is the Navarre autonomous unicameral parliament.

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]

Structure and distribution

Currently, the Parliament is composed by 50 members. The chamber's size can be set by law between 40 and 70. Representatives are elected directly for four-year terms and all renewed simultaneously.[2]

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]

In the 2011 election, 19 seats were won by Navarrese People's Union, 9 by Socialist Party of Navarre, 8 by Geroa Bai, 7 by Bildu, 4 by the People's Party and 3 by Izquierda-Ezkerra.

In the 2015 election, 15 seats were won by Navarrese People's Union, 9 by Geroa Bai, 8 by EH Bildu, 7 by Podemos/Ahal Dugu, 7 by Socialist Party of Navarre, 2 by the People's Party and 2 by Izquierda-Ezkerra.

In the 2019 election, 20 seats were won by Navarra Suma, 11 by Socialist Party of Navarre, 9 by Geroa Bai, 7 by EH Bildu, 2 by Podemos/Ahal Dugu and 1 by Izquierda-Ezkerra.

Notes

EH Bildu abstained in the investiture vote of María Chivite. As part of an agreement with PSN, EH Bildu is providing necessary votes (from the opposition) to keep the PSN–GBai–Podemos government intact, in exchange for concessions.
