Head of government is the prime minister as the President of the Government, which recommends ministers and deputy ministers to the President of the Republic for appointment. The prime minister, the ministers and the alternate ministers, belong to the supreme decision-making committee, known as the Ministerial Council. The government ministers and alternate ministers all sit, usually, in Parliament. Also, are accountable to the Parliament. Deputy ministers are not members of the government, they made out a lot by law.
Other collective government bodies, except the Ministerial Council, are the Committee on Institutions, the Government Council for Foreign Affairs and Defence and others, including in particular government policy issues.
