Vicenç 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.

Vicenç Vidal, the MÉS deputy for Mallorca and Més for Menorca, affiliated with the Sumar plurinational group, has submitted a bill to Congress to limit home purchases by individuals. He explained this on Friday at a press conference at the MÉS headquarters in Palma, where he warned that 24,000 rental contracts will expire this year, affecting approximately 69,000 people in the Balearic Islands. "In January, a historic record was broken: the price per square meter is over €5,000 in the Balearic Islands," Vidal emphasized, accusing the Balearic Islands' president, Marga Prohens, and the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, of "failing to address this scandal." The initiative proposed by the deputy modifies Article 10 of the Housing Law to limit purchases to individuals and prohibit vulture funds from operating in the market.

MÁS per Mallorca reached its electoral peak in 2015, when it garnered nearly 60,000 votes and won six seats in the Balearic Parliament. This is the most significant result for the eco-sovereignist party, which has historically secured four seats and between 35,000 and 40,000 votes (four representatives and 37,651 votes in 2023). The party has called a general assembly this weekend to decide how to approach the 2027 elections. While it has a stable voter base, can the island party aspire to broader appeal?

A new attempt to remove Francoist symbols in the Balearic Islands. The Spanish government has approved the criteria that will define the new process. State catalogue of symbols and elements contrary to democratic memoryIn this context, MP Vicenç Vidal has confirmed that his party has already requested the inclusion of the Feixina monument in Palma and the monolith on the Explanada de Maó in Menorca, a proposal that the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory "views favorably, in principle." On November 18, the Ministry approved the Royal Decree to compile the catalog. This step opens the door to reviewing and potentially removing public monuments that commemorate or glorify the Francoist dictatorship, its institutions, or anniversaries linked to the Civil War and the coup d'état. The MP Vicenç Vidal –a member of the Ara Més-Sumar coalition– has announced that his party has formally requested the inclusion of two monuments from the Balearic Islands: the Feixina monolith and the Explanada de Maó monolith.

MÉS per Mallorca will resume its membership consultation this Friday afternoon to decide whether its member of parliament, Vicenç Vidal, will break with Sumar or remain in the parliamentary group, according to sources within the party who spoke to Europa Press. The matter was put on hold after a "technical tie" occurred among party members at the end of June, resulting in the parliamentarian remaining provisionally within the multinational group. As before, and in accordance with the statutes of MÉS per Mallorca, the assembly rules stipulate that any decision will be adopted by a qualified majority, that is, by two-thirds of the members exercising their right to vote in person. The aforementioned sources explain that the opinion of the members cannot be predicted, but they perceive that the majority will opt to remain within the Sumar group, given the calmer internal and political climate. However, their allies in Menorca, Más por Menorca, did hold a vote in July, and also through an assembly of their members, it was decided by 83% of the vote that Vidal should leave Sumar and join the Mixed Group. Given this context and the tie in the first consultation, Más por Mallorca opted to postpone the decision until the end of the summer. Although holding it in September was considered, the new assembly will ultimately take place on Friday, coinciding with the preliminary work for the party's upcoming congress, which will be held in December.

Vicenç Vidal, the Sumar-MÁS deputy in Congress, expressed his confidence that both the PP and the PSOE will support incorporating specific funding for the Balearic Islands into the state mobility law. This measure, Vidal explained in a press conference held this Wednesday, was introduced by him through an amendment—agreed upon with the Socialists—that clearly refers to the funding that the archipelago should receive.

Vicenç Vidal, a member of Congress for Sumar MÁS, said this Monday that he feels "deeply aggravated by the inconsistent and inhuman attitude of Marga Prohens's government" in relation to the Prime Minister's recent attitude toward the arrival of migrants. For the lower house member, "the priority in a situation like the one we are experiencing is the defense of human rights and common sense."

The Més per Menorca assembly has endorsed, with 83% of votes in favor, the party's executive committee's proposal for Sumar MÁS deputy Vicenç Vidal to leave the Sumar Plurinational Group in Congress and join the mixed group.
