Funeral rites in spanish regional parliaments.

Regulation of funeral rites in the Parliament of Navarre.

Abstract

Death makes us all equal, but the funerary rituals that take place later depend on the position occupied by the deceased in society or within each organization or institution. The regional parliaments that over the years have been developing different regulations, usages and customs to deal with the death of their members are not unrelated to this. Little do the elected officials imagine that on the very day of their inauguration, a civil servant has already planned what to do in the event of their death, because haste is a bad adviser and there is a risk of incurring in inequalities and comparative grievances. I therefore intend with this article to publicize the work carried out by the Protocol Services when they have faced mourning on the following occasions: death of presidents in office, former presidents, former regional presidents, parliamentarians, former parliamentarians, officials or retired officials. The activity of the Protocol services of the legislative chambers is not characterized by contact with other regional colleagues, so I think it is appropriate that there be a compilation study to which to turn, in case of doubt or need. The study will dedicate a special section to the activity of the Parliament of Navarra in this matter.
