PalmaIndependents per sa Pobla has joined Coalició per Mallorca after the party's governing bodies unanimously approved the agreement. With this decision, the party will be the candidacy that will represent the sa Pobla City Council in the next municipal elections, maintaining its identity and local project.
The agreement has been promoted by the mayor of sa Pobla, Biel Ferragut; the president of Independents of the municipality, Xisco Bonnín; and the coordinator of Coalició per Mallorca, Joan Serra. According to the two parties, the incorporation responds to the will to join forces to face shared challenges such as demographic pressure, access to housing, territorial preservation, the rising cost of living, and the defense of Mallorca's identity.
Ferragut has described the alliance as a "natural evolution" of the municipal project and has assured that "it is time to join forces to better defend Mallorca". The mayor stated that many of the problems affecting sa Pobla are also challenges of an island-wide nature and defended that the coalition will strengthen the defense of the interests of the municipality and the island.
Bonnín highlighted that the decision was made due to the coincidence of values between the two formations. As he explained, Coalició per Mallorca represents "a serious, cross-cutting project focused on defending Mallorca's interests", while allowing Independents per sa Pobla to retain its identity while "gaining political influence".
Along the same lines, the candidate for the presidency of the Government of Coalició per Mallorca, Pere Sánchez, has assured that the incorporation consolidates the party as an island-wide political alternative. Sánchez has maintained that more and more people share the need for a political force focused exclusively on defending the interests of the Mallorcans and has stated that it will be "an honor" to also represent Independents per sa Pobla in the candidacy for Parliament. With this agreement, Coalició per Mallorca continues to expand its territorial presence with the incorporation of new municipal formations for the upcoming electoral cycle.
