Subject: Law and Political ScienceInformation and Communication SciencesPolitics: press and news
Today, the world revolves around politics. When we speak of politics, we refer to the relations between states and their citizens and the power relations between states. Being up to date on the latest news in politics is relatively easy due to the fact that media from around the world, both specialist and generalist, allow us to have up-to-the-minute news of everything that is happening. Furthermore, we can also follow current political news through each country's most representative official bodies. Lastly, for the particularly incisive of us, current politics are also a subject of analysis and criticism, which explains the recent boom in political opinion and analysis sites.
Official bodies
The political organization of a country or autonomous community depends on the corresponding official bodies that hold the legislative, executive and judiciary powers.
Press and news section about the body of the Government of Catalonia. With the possibility of filtering the news according to the different Catalan government ministries and according to the delegations in Catalonia and Madrid.
Press and news section of the legislative body that supports government policy in Catalonia. The Parliament represents the people of Catalonia. On the home page you can consult the latest news and publications, recent institutional statements and legislative initiatives in the corresponding sections. We also recommend the section on "Activitat parlamentària" (Parliamentary Activity).
News on the Spanish Government, representative of the executive power of the Spanish State. News section on the country, which can be filtered by ministry.
