Show answer and explanation

✓ El rey

The supreme command of the Fuerzas Armadas (armed forces) belongs to the king. It is a symbolic and constitutional command: the king does not make military decisions on his own, because the direction of defence policy and of military administration belongs to the Government. The Minister of Defence runs the ministry. Memorise: supreme command equals king; direction of defence equals Government.
