I am not sure if the terminology is used differently in Spain (pre-translation of course) but that would be parsed as government by the US standards even with separation of power given the citation of specific laws by said government.

Granted here it is used as the omnibus term as opposed to its own division.

In parliamentary systems, the term "government" frequently refers to the current governing party or coalition.
