A lack of "loyalty", in the words of the party's parliamentary spokeswoman, Manuela Cañadas, which in the opinion of the far-right party, cannot go unanswered. As ARA Balears has learned, Vox is studying the possibility of overturning the Agrarian Law, the project on which the minister of the sector, Joan Simonet, has been working all legislature, as well as the Coastal Law, which the Government planned to bring to the Council of Government imminently, to ensure parliamentary approval within this legislature.</p>]]></description>

The PP has guaranteed its support for the initiative and, therefore, it will foreseeably go ahead. In this legislature, it is already the third parliamentary initiative they have registered on the same topic, although they do not have legal standing because the autonomy does not have powers on this matter. The text will also have no legal effects on this occasion, even if it is presented as a bill. It is a symbolic pronouncement by the Chamber that is part of the battle between the PP and Vox to champion the anti-immigration discourse.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>“Humanity, almost all of it, has lost its natural value” is one of the many and valuable sentences that conceptually flood, and with all the reason and urgency in the world, Laia Malo’s newly released and exceptional poetry collection: <em>Rum-rum </em>in the prestigious Jardins de Samarcanda collection of the Cafè Central label. I say it is exceptional because it truly is: the author takes a brutal leap forward in her career and gives us her best book, a volume sedimented and nourished by each and every one of the poet's multiple tasks, since in addition to being a translator from English and Russian, Malo also translates other languages of the globe, especially those of the fascinating universes of insects, so that we may understand and grasp other realities beyond the surfaces of things. Alongside necessary denunciations like those already mentioned, there is, at the same time and at every happy moment, a firm sentiment of hope: the unrenounceable illusion that a change is still possible that leads to a new global consciousness of an essential return to the natural environment. In fact, the poet, more ambitious than ever, invites a re-foundation of all Culture in the face of Nature: “In the beginning was the Green.” And no, it is not just a dazzling verbal finding, it is the renewing spirit of a magnificent book built from prodigious political biopoems, not the first in Catalan literature but undoubtedly the best so far.We had already been able to hear and read just complaints like these thanks to the expanded work of Laia Malo with her expanded writings: as a member of the increasingly recognized electroverse duo Jansky and as the person responsible for very well-crafted periodic <a href="https://www.arabalears.cat/firmes/laia_malo/" target="_blank">articles in ARA Balears</a>. But it is true that it is the first time that these other literary formats nourish her verses and her poems. The result is a book of colossal dynamism, both structural and mental. With <em>Rum-rum</em> we witness a transformation as huge as the one that Blai Bonet brought about when he left behind the models of the Escola Mallorquina, and it is that Laia Malo takes a leap and surpasses the current paradigms of representing in words the biological environments that surround us, since they are not scenarios, they are not wild spaces that escape our absurd civilizing desire, they are complete macrocosms that we do not take into account enough, and this is our tragedy, our uprooting. <em>Rum-rum</em> is a novel, wildly vital song, a new gospel that sings of the gifted intelligence of flowers and blossoms with tongues of exuberant, super-fertile libido.<em>Rum-rum,</em> by Laia Malo, does not reproduce the music of the spheres, it captures the rhythms and melodies of the planet and posits itself as a proof of faith that drives us to believe that people still have time to become human beings again.</p>]]></description>

Amidst the chaos of the Government's Omnibus Law approval, the eco-sovereigntist, who holds a degree in classical philology, was one of the few parliamentarians who enumerated the amendments, laid out in that language on the voting script, without pronunciation problems. A skill that impressed the President of the Parliament, Gabriel Le Senne (Vox), who admitted he struggled to keep up with the speed at which he enumerated each point. "Mr. Apesteguia, I do not have so much knowledge of Latin," he told him on one occasion, asking him to go slower. "What a Roman accent!" he finally conceded, when Apesteguia requested a separate vote for points "<em>novovicies</em>" (29) and "<em>tertricies</em>" (33).</p>]]></description>

The norm began to be processed as a law for strategic projects but, in a plot twist, the PP modified its title to introduce about seventy of its own amendments on unrelated issues and, incidentally, to comply with the pacts with Vox pending officialization. The opposition in bloc has denounced the "chaos", but while MÉS per Mallorca and Més per Menorca have refused to participate, the PSIB has indeed agreed on some amendments with the PP on the taxi sector and the integration of the Tax Agency (ATIB). The legislative chaos continued until the last minute, when the deputies did not <a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/misc/what-roman-accent-le-senne-vox-praises-lluis-apesteguia-s-latin_1_5749210.html" target="_blank">understand the voting blocks and the president of the Parliament, Gabriel Le Senne</a>, had to take a recess to clarify things and, finally, a roll-call vote had to be resorted to.</p>]]></description>
