Prohens: "If the PSOE does not pervert the law, Formentera will have a voice in the Senate"

PalmThe PP continues without giving a resounding yes to the proposed law being processed in Congress to amend the Constitution so that Formentera has its own senator. While the left is demanding that the Popular Party take a clear stance, President Marga Prohens insisted this Tuesday that she does not trust the intentions of the PSOE and Sumar, who facilitated their entry into the lower house. "If the PSOE does not distort the law during its passage, Formentera will have a voice in the Senate," she concluded.

Congress admitted this initiative last week. The proposal started with the support of all parties in the Parliament, except Vox. But the PP abstained from the vote, while the PSOE, Sumar, the nationalist parties, and a large part of the mixed group voted in favor. If they don't change their abstention to a yes vote when the initiative is debated, the people of Formentera will be left without a senator.

Prohens defended the PP's "understandable, empirical, and demonstrable distrust." "To date, the PSOE in Congress has not denied that I will introduce any other issues into the text," she warned: "The legislative process cannot be used to introduce things unrelated to Formentera." The president made these statements in response to the deputy for Formentera, Llorenç Córdoba. "What matters is that Formentera has its own senator, not partisan strategies in Madrid," the parliamentarian said. "I ask the PP to support this request and the PSIB to commit" not to adding amendments to the text on other issues.
