Marga Prohens recovered at the presentation of her candidacy to lead the PP a slogan from the 2023 electoral campaign: “We are the party of the local people”. How has this translated into the Government's management?

Reports of improper payments under the Guaranteed Social Income (Resoga) program "have generated understandable public concern," acknowledged EAPN Illes Balears, which reiterates that "any public benefit must have the necessary control and efficiency mechanisms to guarantee its proper implementation." According to the organization, "transparency and sound management of public funds are non-negotiable conditions in a social and democratic state governed by the rule of law." However, EAPN Illes Balears warns that "we cannot allow Resoga beneficiaries to be blamed in a generalized way (when it is the Administration that has neglected its duties, stalling applications without resolution or failing to establish control mechanisms), nor can we allow these cases to serve as an excuse." The organization emphasizes that the benefit "is intended to protect the dignity and rights of the thousands of people who suffer high levels of vulnerability in the Balearic Islands."

Those under 18 are the segment most at risk of poverty and social exclusion in the Balearic Islands, with 23% affected in 2024, according to the EAPN's 2025 State of Poverty Report. Despite this high figure, it represents a 10-point drop compared to 2023. On a global scale, the at-risk-of-poverty and social exclusion (AROPE) rate has reached its lowest levels in recent years, standing at 16.2%, and for the first time since 2020 below the target set for this year, 6.6. Nearly 200,000 people are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. Extreme material deprivation has also decreased by two points and affects those unable to cope with unforeseen events (30%) and those unable to make ends meet (40%), among other situations. All this, at a time when the Balearic Islands have had practically full employment figures for years. Now, with precarious jobs and low wages.
