Interesting fact about Andorra

in #andorra8 years ago

Today I learned that there is a country whose leader was democratically elected by citizens of another country.

The Principality of Andorra, a tiny country between Spain and France, is ruled by two "princes," one of whom is the local bishop, the other president of France.

This strange arrangement has existed since the 13th century, and the title of "Prince of the common heritage of Andorra" was inherited from the French monarchs to the presidents of France.

In the photo - the current Prince of Andorra. On the right, Emmanuel Makron, president of France.
