The Basque Government is the autonomous government of the Basque Country, a region in northern Spain. It was established in 1979 following the approval of the Statute of Autonomy, which granted the region a degree of self-governance. The government is responsible for various areas, including education, health, and transportation, allowing it to address local needs effectively. The Basque Government is led by a Lehendakari, who is the president of the government. The current structure includes several ministries that oversee different sectors. This governance model aims to promote the unique culture and identity of the Basque people while ensuring efficient administration within the region.
