The purchase has already been officialized and the most important part of the agreement, as explained by the president and founder of the entity, Tolo Servera, to ARA Balears, is that "nothing will change". In fact, as he detailed, the purchase involves clients, employees, machinery, brands and everything that makes up the company. "We were clear that we didn't want to sell it to an investment fund that would speculate with jobs, we wanted to continue with the company, and that's why we sold it to a group from the same sector," he explained.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Palma will not be a European Capital of Culture. What great news, some think, and I can understand why. Because, unfortunately, we still have political leaders who live in the 1990s, when the great managers were those who secured the Expo or the Universiade. Because that was the way to get extra money for big projects. In Palma's case, we can be very happy with the 1999 Universiade, because it allowed us to build a stadium with public funds, which is now enjoyed almost exclusively by a private company, Mallorca.</p>]]></description>

Therefore, it has recruited the local People's Party, the key that could open the door to the municipality being able to finance itself with an additional €5 million per year, in exchange for satisfying the needs of Sant Llorenç, Son Servera, Capdepera, and Artà with the creation of a services association.</p>]]></description>
