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.

How to organize the space to the left of the PSOE to curb the rise of Vox? This question has been behind several recent moves in Madrid: Gabriel Rufián's (ERC) call to build a republican front and Yolanda Díaz's announcement that she will not run again as Sumar's candidate in 2027. For now, MÁS per Mallorca has avoided commenting on these changes or giving any clues about its future. But the debate engulfing the left affects them directly. Is it worth having a member of parliament in Congress? If they run again in a coalition, what alliances would be best? What role should Balearic eco-sovereignism play in Madrid? The sources consulted only agree on the starting point: AraMés must lead the candidacy in the Balearic Islands, whatever form it takes.

The Spanish Congress of Deputies will decide this Tuesday whether to approve the initiation of proceedings for a constitutional reform that would grant Formentera its own senator and eliminate its current practice of sharing a constituency with Ibiza in Senate elections. The initiative originates from the Balearic Islands Parliament, which is once again bringing to Madrid a demand that the people of Formentera have been making for years. The proposal seeks to amend Article 69.3 of the Constitution to recognize Formentera as its own electoral constituency in the Senate, as is already the case with other islands in the Balearic archipelago and territories in the Canary Islands. Currently, Ibiza and Formentera jointly elect a single senator, who in this legislature is Juanjo Ferrer, chosen on a unified ticket of progressive forces. This is not the first time the Balearic Parliament has attempted to promote this reform. In three previous legislatures, the initiative reached the Spanish Parliament without success. Now, Congress must decide whether to formally open the constitutional reform process, a step that, if successful, would activate parliamentary debate and allow groups to submit amendments.

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.
