Oh, please. It's not dictatorial at all.

The Junta is the government organ of Extremadura, an autonomous region of Spain. It's formed by people from different political parties elected democratically by their citizens. It has a president that is (as far as I remember, I can be wrong) elected by the members of the most voted party, but his (or the Junta's) decissions must be voted by the rest of the Junta before they are approved.
