Andorra, a small principality in the Pyrenees, has a unique political tradition known as the Consell General. This parliamentary body has been in existence since 1419, making it one of the oldest parliaments in Europe. The Consell General is responsible for governing Andorra and represents the country’s commitment to democratic principles.

The Consell General is composed of elected representatives who work alongside the two co-princes of Andorra, the Bishop of Urgell and the President of France. This unique system reflects Andorra’s history as a neutral state between France and Spain. The tradition of the Consell General highlights Andorra’s ability to maintain its independence and sovereignty through a distinctive form of governance.
