In Europe, term limits at the sub-national level exist in Spain, where over the last few years a limitation of no more than two consecutive mandates has been introduced for the President of the Autonomous Communities in some of the Statutes of Autonomy or in Regional Laws.6 Such new rules do not apply retroactively. In Spain, Autonomous Communities, as the Central State, are parliamentary systems, with an indirect election of their Presidents. The context of the legal reforms was the political and economic crisis, with several cases of corruption or misconduct and popular demands of regeneration of political life. Some parties have introduced such limitation in their Manifestos.
