Demands for Resignation in a Context of Favoritism
Jaume Alzamora, representative of MÉS for Mallorca in the Council, today expressed his indignation and requested the resignation of the Minister of Tourism, José Marcial Rodríguez. Their requests come after the publication of information that suggests preferential treatment towards agrotourism, an activity that is apparently exploited illegally by the family of the mayor of Santa Margalida, Joan Monjo.
Responsibilities in the Island Government
Alzamora has argued that the president of the Council, Llorenç Galmés, must take immediate measures to correct the situation. ‘The first action must be the removal of the minister’, he said, stressing that his mismanagement makes him unable to lead a department as fundamental as Tourism.
A Key Department in the Mira
The Island Council is responsible for tourist regulation, and its management is essential for the sustainable development of the island. Alzamora recalled that the irregularities noted could have serious consequences and that the government’s inaction could be seen as complicity with those responsible.
Criticism of the Management of the Current Government
The general secretary of MÉS for Mallorca has stated that the government team has failed in its responsibility to ensure compliance with the regulations. ‘The current situation is unacceptable’, he said, emphasizing that the illegal extension of the deadline for presenting documentation has allowed the establishment linked to the mayor to operate without the necessary authorizations.
Irregularities and the Need for Action
Alzamora mentioned that the irregularities are obvious and that the absence of measures by President Galmés only worsens the situation. ‘You can’t wait any longer. A forceful and immediate response is needed,’ he insisted.
Institutional Silence before the Controversy
Despite Alzamora’s requests for more information on the situation of the illegal establishment and the actions of the Tourism department, no response has yet been obtained from either the president or the department’s officials. This silence has fueled suspicions of favoritism and inaction.
The Future of the Insular Government in Doubt
The current situation could have significant repercussions in local politics, with Alzamora urging the political formation of the PP to reconsider its support for the mayor of Santa Margalida. The crisis of confidence in the island’s government is becoming a hot topic that needs urgent attention.
