Show answer and explanation

✓ Los ministros

The Government is formed by the Prime Minister, the vice-presidents if there are any, and the ministers. They meet in the Consejo de Ministros. The mayors and councillors (concejales) belong to local government (ayuntamiento, the town council), not to the national one. Each minister runs a ministry, for example Health, Education or Defence. Trick: ministers equal Government of Spain; concejales equal ayuntamiento; consejeros equal comunidad autónoma.
