For months, the island councilor for Tourism, Marcial Rodríguez, had found himself in a dead end. This Tuesday, he officially resigned, and will be replaced by Guillem Ginard, bringing to a close nearly two and a half years in office marked by political, social, and media pressure. The decision wasn't new: Rodríguez had expressed his intention to leave the post on several occasions, but hadn't been able to do so until the People's Party (PP) found a replacement willing to take on the challenge. But what brought the councilor down?

Gari Durán, councilor and spokesperson for the Vox Palma municipal group, has resigned from her position for personal reasons. Vox announced this on Wednesday in a statement thanking her for her dedication to the party.
