In this scenario, the general coordinator of MÉS per Mallorca, Lluís Apesteguia, has argued that, faced with society's problems, "solutions that had never been on the table" will be necessary. And he has assured that "whoever wants to accompany" the party in this project "will be welcome." Thus, he has not ruled out a possible post-election alliance with Coalició per Mallorca, the party heir to El Pi, which has presented the <a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/misc/coalition-for-mallorca-presents-pere-sanchez-as-candidate-to-the-parliament-for-the-autonomics_1_5775195.html" target="_blank">journalist Pere Sánchez as a candidate</a>. "For now, they do not have parliamentary representation, we will have to see after the elections", he said.</p>]]></description>

Citizens' problems will not disappear and will await September, after three months without parliamentary activity, which does not mean that there isn't some absent-minded person who will work during this time. Even the vice-president of Vox of the Consell de Mallorca, <strong>Pedro Bestard</strong>, will be able to enjoy a quiet summer after the final decision that the PP and Vox have made on his case. Lest anyone forget, Bestard used three public vehicles exclusively, for both public and private matters, while his department (Environment) has about twenty unusable cars and officials suffer from the shortage.</p>]]></description>

After the Congress's Bureau rejected two texts from Junts and the PP requesting elections and the PP brought a similar non-legislative initiative to Parliament, the deputy spokesperson for the PSIB, Marc Pons, invited the PP to "present a motion of censure" if it is so clear that it is necessary to call elections. "These are the mechanisms that democracy has," he continued. Thus, he admitted that, if the situation were the reverse and the case affected the PP, this is what the socialist party would do, as, in fact, it already did in 2018 after the sentence in the Gürtel case, which affected the PP.</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>

The reason is that the norm includes amendments on issues that have nothing to do with the promotion of strategic projects, which was the initial object of the norm, to which even the name has ended up being modified through an amendment. The changes introduced mainly by the PP and Vox, although the PSIB has also agreed to several with the popular ones, affect about fifty laws. In parallel, MÉS per Mallorca will also present a second unconstitutionality appeal for the points they consider affect citizens' "rights".</p>]]></description>
