The justification memorandum for DORA III, the Airport Regulation Document that sets the investments, capacity, and rates for Aena airports between 2027 and 2031, states that the Balearic Islands requested more investments to be able to expand airport capacity. The Balearic Government has categorically denied this, insisted that this point "is false," and asserted that it only requested "safety improvements and modernizations." Thus, it has shared a letter sent by the executive to the Balearic Airport Coordination Committee in which it specified that the improvements it was requesting were "not linked to an increase in passengers".

The declassification of documents related to the Ceuta crisis by the Ministry of the Interior contains no report warning of a "high risk" of migrant arrivals in the Balearic Islands. Nevertheless, the PP has registered a written request in the Lower House demanding more data, and the Director General of Immigration, Manuel Pavón, has accused members of the Spanish government of "declassifying what interests them".

Over the weekend, "highest-level" calls were made to defend the bill for the airport co-management of the Islands. Conversations that, according to sources familiar with the negotiations, have succeeded in getting the Spanish government to withdraw its veto on the regulation being debated in the Congress of Deputies. But who picked up the phone? The sovereignists of MÉS or Francina Armengol? On this, there are contradictory versions.

The government will lift the veto on the processing of the airport co-management bill. Sources from the presidency of Congress confirm that Francina Armengol will remove from the Bureau's agenda the item where the report sent last Friday by the Ministry of the Presidency was to be debated. In the text, La Moncloa argued that the law could not be debated because, if the Balearic Government participated in the management of the airports, this would harm Aena's interests. Sources from SUMAR-MÉS explain that the Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, in collaboration with the eco-sovereignist deputy Vicenç Vidal, have interceded on this issue throughout the weekend. Finally, Urtasun has reached an agreement in the Council of Ministers with the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, to withdraw this veto on the regulation.

The President of the Government, Marga Prohens, has shown "deep concern" after the head of the Spanish executive, Pedro Sánchez, claimed in the Congress of Deputies that he had a report that warned of a high risk of irregular migrant arrivals to the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. In an urgent appearance, Prohens has accused the socialist of having hidden this information when they met "for an hour" at the Consolat last July 29th. "Why is this information being hidden from us?", she asked herself. She has also demanded that the Spanish government state what measures it has taken to curb this risk of arrivals. "We want to think that the government of Spain has not left this report on a table or in a drawer", she continued: "We are talking about the safety of our autonomous community".

The President of the Government, Marga Prohens, has demanded explanations from Pedro Sánchez for having stated, during his appearance at the Congress of Deputies, that he received reports from the National Police regarding a risk of migrant arrivals on the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.

The budgetary liquidation of 2025 has opened a new political confrontation in Pollença between the PP and the governing team. Both sides agree on one fact: the City Council has failed to comply with the spending rule and will have to draw up a financial economic plan. The disagreement, however, arises when interpreting the figures and the real seriousness of the situation.

The socialist municipal group of Alaró has denounced the alleged shortcomings in the security device during the Sant Roc festivities after the assault that occurred in the Plaça de la Vila, in front of the Town Hall and a few meters from the Local Police facilities, and in which a 16-year-old boy lost three teeth. The socialists have condemned the events and expressed their solidarity with the people who would have been assaulted. "Violence has no municipality, age, or justification," they point out, while defending that any violent behavior must be rejected "forcefully".

"It is clear that Spain has never done so well in its history, no matter how you look at it: 46.6 million international tourists in the first six months of the year and a record spending of 63.8 billion euros. So much noise and exaggeration so that you don't feel that we govern well and it benefits you". Apparently, the socialist Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts, Félix Bolaños, has not been told that in places like the Balearic Islands people are not so happy and that 70,000 people took to the streets on July 26 to demand something as simple as it is difficult to achieve at this point: that the citizens of the Islands can live with dignity. I want to think that Bolaños understands the difference between GDP and GDP per capita, because this nuance will help him understand that the 63.8 billion euros left by visitors do not affect residents in tourist areas. Perhaps the satisfaction is because companies like Aena exceed their profits year after year by squeezing the doors of our home.

The mayor of Inca, Virgilio Moreno, spends some time walking the 59 meters that separate the City Hall from one of the bars in front. Every two steps he stops to talk to someone. An elderly gentleman who greets him effusively, a lady who comes from Madrid to spend time in the municipality, a young couple, a man who asks him for one euro for the train (the mayor gives it to him, but asks him if he's sure it will be for the train and inquires if he has asked for help from any organization)... Upon sitting down, he greets the bar workers and asks for a bottle of cold water. The people of Inca know that it is hotter in the capital of Raiguer than in Palma and other places in Mallorca.

Pedro Sánchez will not repeat with Francina Armengol the strategy of entrusting the leadership of regional battles to his most mediatic allies. After the setback of sending the first vice-president and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, to Andalusia and obtaining the lowest result in the party's history in the territory, the president of Congress will remain sheltered in Madrid and will be definitively tied to the PSOE's future in the general elections. In the Balearic Islands, the definitive confirmation that she will not run again in the regional elections has caused an internal upheaval. For this reason, she will remain as general secretary of the PSIB, to control her succession from the apparatus.

The mixed commission on island status of Congress and the Senate approved this Tuesday an initiative presented by the deputy of MÉS per Mallorca and MÉS per Menorca in the Plurinational Group Sumar, Vicenç Vidal, which expresses the rejection of any expansion of the capacity of Ibiza airport.

The spokesperson for the Spanish government, Elma Saiz, has attacked this Monday from Palma

The State threatens the tax deduction of the Balearic Government so that direct aid intended for self-employed workers affected by the war in the Middle East does not have to be taxed under the Personal Income Tax (IRPF). The Spanish government has sent a request to the autonomous executive questioning the constitutionality of the measure, which is part of the anti-crisis decree approved by the Executive. It considers that this measure could cause economic and fiscal competition between autonomous communities.

The Socialist Federation of Mallorca has requested the censure of the mayor of Santanyí, Maria Pons, following the words she directed at the mayor of Algaida, Marga Fullana, during the assembly of mayors of Mallorca. According to the socialists' complaint, the PP leader told her "I will give you a raft" in the middle of the debate on a motion on social cohesion and human dignity.

“We are in shock, amazing”. “It is very frustrating”. “Whatever we do in the Islands, the reality of the PSOE overwhelms us”. “It is a tsunami”. These are some of the reactions among socialist party officials from the Islands after two weeks of national headlines about alleged corruption in the PSOE. The storm at Ferraz has impacted the morale of the PSIB at a delicate moment: with Francina Armengol's leadership in doubt and Iago Negueruela in the midst of a strategy change in Parliament.
