      <description><![CDATA[<p>Every week, Gabriel Le Senne occupies the presidency of the Parliament and directs the plenary session of the Chamber. He looks satisfied and it's clear he likes to be in charge. But there's a problem: Le Senne doesn't know what it means to be a president of a parliament. This ignorance, mixed with good doses of homophobia, racism, intolerance, and conspiracy theories like the great replacement, makes someone as insignificant as me, who doesn't command even at home, not recognize him as president. It's all the same to him, of course. Besides, I am a woman and that guarantees he considers me an inferior being with whom it's not worth wasting time.</p>]]></description>

In several social media posts, Le Senne referred to the accusations of homophobia he received on Tuesday in Parliament, in which he criticized a mural in a high school showing two boys kissing, which he described as ideological. Regarding this video, he defended the need to respect everyone regardless of their sexual orientation.</p>]]></description>

Madrid dictated his appointment even though he was seventh on the list and lacked internal support in the Islands. Two and a half years later, he has become Vox's main asset in the Balearic Islands. The position of second-highest authority in the region has served as a platform for him, especially since the controversy he sparked when he went <a href="https://www.arabalears.cat/politica/diputat-vox-balears-protegir-garcia-lorca-falange_1_5064879.html" target="_blank">to detach a photograph of Aurora Picornell and the Rojas del Molinar</a> during a full house. From that moment on, he increasingly established a political profile within the institution.</p>]]></description>

In a non-binding report submitted to the Parliament's governing board, and accessed by ARA Baleares, the university's Technical Commission on Linguistic Advice expresses its opposition to the Speaker's proposals. Le Senne, who also heads the provincial executive committee of the Vox party, is a staunch opponent of the unity of the Catalan language. He insists that all speeches "made in Mallorcan (or any of the Balearic varieties) be translated into standard Catalan." Among other things, he requested that the definite article be retained in the transcripts of members' speeches in the Parliament's official record. In response to this request, the governing board agreed to consult with the UIB.</p>]]></description>

Joining the Committee are Melina Meliki, who will assume the vice presidency and the role of institutional relations; Ricardo Camuñas, as secretary; MP María José Verdú, who will manage the treasury and management; and David Gil de Paz, Vox spokesperson in the Consell de Mallorca, who will lead the role of inter-municipal relations. Of note is the departure of Fulgencio Coll, spokesperson in Palma City Council and a "much-loved figure and one of the party's bastions with great electoral results," according to Le Senne. "It's time to renew with new faces. There have been conflicts in the party, and this way we hope to heal wounds," he said. Asked if Coll was responsible for the problems, he assured them he was not.</p>]]></description>
