Until recently Spain has been the only country in continental Europe in which none of its governments has been formed by more than one party. This feature is the result of a stable party system that has facilitated governance even to minority governments. The first coalition government invested in Parliament is the result of the profound transformation of the Spanish party system after the electoral processes held during 2015-2019. In this work we address the exceptional nature of the Spanish case, it analyzes the negotiation process and the distribution of benefits for the achievement of government stability in minority parliamentary scenarios.Downloads
