Vidal accuses the PP and Vox of breaking the consensus for the senator from Formentera in Congress
The People's Party (PP) and Vox have submitted amendments to Congress. The PP's amendment would replace the name Ibiza with its Castilianized form, while Vox's amendment rejects the idea of a senator representing the island.
PalmVicenç Vidal, a member of parliament for MÁS for Mallorca and Més for Menorca in the Congress of Deputies, affiliated with the plurinational Sumar group, accused the PP and Vox parties this Thursday of "breaking the consensus" regarding the senator for Formentera in Congress and "introducing linguistic controversies to have an excuse to vote against it." According to him, the right-wing and far-right forces have introduced amendments to the constitutional reform so that Formentera can have its own senator. The Popular Party's amendment, specifically, changes the toponym. Ibiza by IbizaAnd Vox rejects the island's own senator. Changes that, according to Vidal, "take advantage of the opportunity to attack Ibiza's identity," in the case of the People's Party, and "impede democratic progress," in the case of the far right.
The eco-sovereignist deputy has expressed "enormous discontent" with the "lack of loyalty from the right" in presenting amendments to "a law agreed upon and voted on both in the Balearic Islands and in Madrid by all democratic forces," a law which the People's Party itself "had asked not to be presented."
