A court in Palma has sentenced a woman for defrauding Fulgencio Coll, leader of Vox in the Palma City Council, of nearly 900 euros through a text message sent to his mobile phone. According to Coll himself, the events occurred in January 2024. He first received an unknown call, which he did not answer as he was in a meeting, and then a message that appeared to be from a bank. The text informed him of several transactions he did not recognize, and the link provided requested personal information. "They were very clever," Coll acknowledged. Subsequently, three charges totaling 895 euros were made to his account. Once he realized he had been scammed, Coll alerted his bank and filed a complaint with the National Police. The case went to trial this Monday, and both the prosecution and the defense reached a plea agreement. The sentence acknowledges the facts but does not entail imprisonment. Coll has welcomed the court ruling and encouraged all citizens who are victims of cyber fraud to report it. "Justice is doing its job," he emphasized.

The Vox spokesperson in the Palma City Council, Fulgencio Coll, stated this Monday that he is available to run again as the party's candidate in next year's municipal elections. "It's a possibility, and I'm available," he affirmed in response to media questions about whether he would be a candidate. after the results in the regional elections of Aragon and Extremaduraa. "We're going after those eight councilors at all costs," Coll said. Currently, Vox has 6 councilors; the PSOE, 8; and the PP, 13. Coll, at the same time, avoided taking a position on a possible future scenario in which the PP would cede the Palma mayoralty to Vox in exchange for retaining the presidency of the regional government. "I'm no magician, but it could also be the other way around," he warned. What he did categorically reject was the possibility, as has occurred in some municipalities and as the PSOE and MÉS per Mallorca did in the previous legislature, of alternating the mayoralty. "We're not here to share. We either govern or we don't," he stated emphatically.

The Palma City Council, with votes in favor from the People's Party (PP) and Vox, censured councilwoman Lucía Muñoz of the Unidas Podemos party for expressing her desire for the disappearance of the State of Israel and a Palestine "free from the river to the sea." The motion, promoted by Santiago Abascal's party, had already received approval during last week's Citizen Services Committee meeting and was ratified this Thursday in the plenary session. During her speech, Muñoz stated that although the City Council censured her, history would absolve her; unlike the PP and Vox council members, she countered, who would be remembered as "miserable accomplices in the genocide of the Palestinian people." Muñoz said the censure stemmed from her opposition to the "genocide" that Israel is perpetrating in Gaza, "where they murder children, bomb schools and hospitals, and annihilate entire populations," she pointed out. In his view, any state "sustained by war crimes, colonization, and plunder based on a genocidal project" should end like Nazi Germany: "With the dismantling of its structures, those responsible imprisoned, and a process of denazification," he stated.

The mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, announced on Monday the largest budget in Palma's history, promising "more investment, less pressure, and less debt than ever before." Specifically, the City Council's budget for 2026 will be €623.9 million, an increase of €13 million compared to this year, or 2.25%. At a press conference following the governing board meeting, Martínez, alongside the Vox leader in Palma, Fulgencio Coll, stated that planned investment will total €90 million, €5.5 million more than in 2025, representing a 6.5% increase. According to Martínez, the largest allocation in the new budget is for Infrastructure, Accessibility, and Industrial Parks, with over €130.5 million, followed by Public Safety and Civic Engagement, with €121 million, and Finance, Public Administration, and Internal Affairs. These three areas account for nearly half of the total planned expenditure for the next fiscal year.

Vox is currently the PP's concern regarding the potential rezoning of rural land for housing development in Palma. A series of factors have sparked tension for weeks, primarily due to the clear and opposing stance of the far-right party's spokesperson in Palma, Fulgencio Coll, who firmly stated that rural land cannot be developed unless all developable and urban land has been consumed. Vox Palma issued a specific press release in which it stated that it was considering "voting against any construction project on rural land unless all consolidated urban land has been exhausted."

The municipal group Vox Palma is considering the possibility of voting against the possible build on rural land without depleting consolidated urban land, as provided for in the Land Acquisition Law approved this week in Parliament. The party stated, according to Europa Press, that it is considering opposing this measure at the municipal plenary session where it is discussed.
