The administrative strucure which lies at the summit of the excutive was altered in 1982 in order to remedy the chronic instability inflicting the system under the different governments which made the transition towards democracy. The two organs which are closest to the head of goverment are General Secretariat and the presidental cabinet. The role of assisting Prime Minister. Finally the ministry of the presidency is more specifically charged with the task of assuring intergovernmental coordination. The importance of these structures often appears as a factor in the 'presidentialisation' of the Spanish parliamentary regime
