The Council of Government, commonly called Colegio of Monsa (Spanish: Consejo de Gobierno or Colegio de Monsa) of Monsa is the Prince's governing body, executive branch and collective Head of Government. It is formed by seven Ministers, which are elected by the Parliament of Monsa and the Prince, who acts as Head of State of the Principality. The executive council is responsible of taking actions over the important happenings of the Principality and of representing the government policy.
All members, including the Minister of State and the Prince have equal power, although the meetings are presided by both the Minister of State and the Prince. Ministers can freely debate proposed decisions and express their opinion on any aspect of cabinet policy but after decisions are made, the members of the council are obliged to support them, although disagreement is uncommon as members generally sought consensus over important matters. The process for the election of the members start after the General Elections when the population, by universal suffrage, elects the members of the Parliament; the party that received the most votes during these elections will choose four members for the Colegio or Council and the second party will choose others three. Since the 2018 General Election, the Council is composed by the Christian Democratic Party (Democracia Cristiana), which leads both Council and Parliament, and Monsan Alliance (Alianza de Monsa); the current Minister of State is Manuel Quintana Ojeda and the Vice Minister of State María José Pontevedra.
