Show answer and explanation
✓ El Gobierno
The Government directs the civil and military administration, as well as the defence of the State. For this it has the Ministerio de Defensa (Ministry of Defence). The king has the supreme command of the Fuerzas Armadas (armed forces), but it is a symbolic command: the decisions on defence policy are made by the Government. The Cortes Generales (the Spanish parliament) control the Government but do not manage the army, and the ayuntamientos (town councils) have no powers over defence. For the exam: Government equals military administration.
