The 11th General Junta is the current meeting of the General Junta, the parliament of the Principality of Asturias, with the membership determined by the results of the regional election held on 26 May 2019. The congress met for the first time on 24 June 2019. According to the Statute of Autonomy the maximum legislative term of the congress is 4 years from the preceding election.

Election

The 11th Asturian regional election was held on 26 May 2019. At the election the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party remained the largest party in the General Junta but fell short of a majority again.

History

The new parliament met for the first time on 24 June 2019 and Marcelino Marcos was elected as President of the General Junta with the support of Podemos and United Left.
On 29 July 2019, with the aim of avoiding a very big mixed group, a new proposal for creating groups with only two members was allowed. This reform allowed United Left, Asturias Forum and Vox to have their own parliamentary group.
