El Parlamento abierto en España

Abstract

In recent times the term "Open Parliament" has gained some prominence worldwide. The way the term is adopted is different depending on the country context primarily due to its rather general nature. That is why we consider it interesting to analyze the "State of the Art" of the Open Parliament in Spain. We will begin by analyzing the legal bases that allow the development of Open Parliament initiatives in our country. Second, we will analyze the main achievements of the Open Parliament that have developed in the Courts of Spain. Finally, we will conclude this chapter with a series of recommendations that could serve to indicate next steps that parliaments in Spain should take to strengthen parliamentary institutions in the current social and political context.
