Policy

Autonomy

The autonomy of Navarre is based not only on the provisions of the Spanish Constitution of 1978 on the possible establishment of autonomous communities, but also to the historical rights of the foral enacting territories that have been explicitly recognized by the Spanish Constitution and in the case of Navarre on the former kingdom decline, which retained its independent internal institutions until the mid 19th century. This provision is based on full financial autonomy of Navarre. Consequently, the taxes, the Autonomous Community of feeds on the area it administers and conducts only from a by a bilateral agreement ( convenio económico ) fixed sum to the Spanish central government. Navarre would have to connect the process of autonomy of the Basque country after the Spanish Constitution, which did not happen.

Rather, Navarre decided to reform its because of two laws of 1839 and 1841 continuing Foralordnung (of foral ). The " constitutional process " is substantially different from that of the other 16 autonomous communities. The " Statute of Autonomy " Navarre is the Ley Orgánica 13/1982, de 10 de agosto de Reintegración y Amejoramiento del Régimen Foral de Navarra ( LORAFNA ). Already by the title is longer than the other Autonomous Communities a historical continuity stresses, it is not a complete foundation, but merely the reform of something already existing. The law of 1839 provided that a change in the foral ( ie the special regional law ) required the approval of the central government and the region of Navarra, in a way, contract character receives. Thus, as the resulting Act of 1841 also known as Ley Paccionada is referred to ("the negotiated Law"). This Agreement character is also found in the legislative process on the LORAFNA again: first, the Central Government and the Provincial Council agreed ( the regional government ) on a joint text, by the regional parliament and the two chambers of the total Spanish Parliament ( Cortes Generales ), each in a single reading was treated without the possibility of amendments, which corresponds rather to the ratification of an international treaty as the ordinary legislative procedure. This method provides the LORAFNA also for subsequent changes to his text.

Navarre has Policía Foral with as well as the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country and Catalonia has its own police force that is not subject to the Spanish Ministry of the Interior, but the regional government.
