The Vox Parliamentary Group in the Balearic Islands has made the decision to expel the deputy Patricia de las Heras and the president of the Parliament Gabriel Le Senne.
The Vox Parliamentary Group in the Balearic Islands has reported its expulsion of the deputy and president of the party, Patricia de las Heras, and the president of the autonomous Chamber, Gabriel Le Senne, a frequent disseminator of conspiracy theories and hoaxes about the coronavirus and vaccines, promoted to the position by the PP at the beginning of the legislature and who, according to the regulations of the Chamber, must cease to be the second authority of the islands by remaining as a non-attached deputy.
Complications for the governance of Marga Prohens
This decision complicates the governability of the president of the Balearic Government, Marga Prohens (PP), since Vox goes from eight to five deputies. Now, Prohens will have to negotiate with those who have remained in the group and with those who currently no longer have parliamentary affiliation, such as Francisco José Cardona and Llorenç Córdoba.
Expulsion and consequences
The expulsion of Patricia de las Heras and Gabriel Le Senne from the Vox Parliamentary Group in the Balearic Islands implies that both will become non-attached deputies. In addition, Gabriel Le Senne must leave the presidency of the Parliament in accordance with the Chamber’s regulations.
Repercussions and collaboration with the PP
Vox is committed to continuing to collaborate with the PP in the next period of sessions. The Vox spokesperson in the Parliament highlights the work carried out and the commitment to continue advancing in a collaboration with the PP.
Opinion of the PP
The PP attributes the expulsion of Le Senne and De las Heras to internal decisions of Vox and shows respect for the resolution of its investiture partners.
Statements by Patricia de las Heras
Patricia de las Heras called for the end of linguistic immersion in a press release and criticized the fact that it remained active six months after the elections.
Activities of Gabriel Le Senne
Gabriel Le Senne sponsored a book launch in Palma and has been known for his controversial statements in the past.
