Consell General

The Consell General is the parliament of Andorra, also known as the Andorran Parliament or General Council. It serves as the unicameral legislature where co-princes, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Bishop Josep-Lluís Serrano Pentinat, preside over historic sessions. The Consell General handles legislative approvals, policy debates, and agendas on topics including nationality, tourism, rentals, housing, and government scrutiny. Recent activities include delegations leading international parliamentary sessions in Strasbourg and hosting visits from Spain's Congress president to restart ties and support EU agreements. It collaborates with co-princes for joint presidencies and ceremonial events in Andorra la Vella. Distinct from the Casa de la Vall historic building, the Consell General refers to the legislative body and its chamber.
