Prohens celebrates the early election with an "At last!" and accuses Sánchez of having "abandoned the Balearic Islands"

PalmaThe President of the Government, Marga Prohens, has welcomed the calling of early general elections for November 29 and expressed her hope that the polls will put an end to a Spanish Government that, as she asserted, "has abandoned the Balearic Islands." "Finally!", she wrote on her X account after the President of the central executive, Pedro Sánchez, announced the early elections in an institutional statement from the Moncloa Palace.

Prohens asserted that the elections come after "three years of a rudderless legislature" and a government that, in her opinion, "has dedicated itself to resisting instead of governing and solving the citizens' problems." She also accused the state executive of being "cornered by corruption," of having brought "discredit to the institutions," and of having "evaded all its responsibilities." The president also criticized Sánchez's attitude on territorial and migration issues. She stated that the Spanish Government "has played and will play until the very last moment with confrontation between Spaniards, with building walls, with radicalism and polarization" and that it has even "renounced defending our borders and the territorial integrity of the country."

The demands

In a Balearic context, Prohens has accused Sánchez's executive of having "abandoned the Balearic Islands" during the legislature. According to the president, the Spanish Government "has not listened to a single one of the demands" of the Islands to achieve better financing and has left "up in the air" issues such as the special regime for the Balearic Islands and road and rail investments.

She has also questioned the management of the airports and accused the Spanish Government of having maintained an airport policy "against the citizens". Furthermore, she has reproached the executive for having "looked the other way in the face of the worst migration crisis". "Finally, when there has been no other way out, the Spanish people will have the say to decide the future of Spain", stated Prohens, who pointed out that now "the countdown to the arrival of change in Spain begins".

Prohens has linked this change to the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, whom she has assured is the only one who can lead it. According to Prohens, a future PP government should focus on "managing the day-to-day problems" of citizens, families, workers, small business owners, the self-employed, and young people. She has also defended that this eventual executive should "recover the dignity of the institutions", defend "the general interest of all above all else", and address "the needs and demands of the Balearic Islands".
