December has already set the tone for 2026 with the elections in Extremadura, on the one hand, and the MÉS congress for Mallorca, on the other, because the opposition is also preparing for the 2027 elections. The president has ruled out, for now, the possibility of bringing forward elections in the Balearic Islands, despite tensions with Vox's partners. But that scenario could change depending on the results of the elections in Aragon and Andalusia, which will serve to gauge the PP's chances. It will also depend on the needs of the party's national leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who is looking for the opportune moment to end the 'Sanchismo' (the influence of Pedro Sánchez) and is counting on the regional leaders as a weapon.</p>]]></description>

This was the Balearic president's response to questions from the media, posed this Wednesday at an event commemorating November 25th, following the previous day's parliamentary session, in which the possibility of early elections in the Balearic Islands was suggested. </p>]]></description>

They also assert that the situation in Extremadura, where President Maria Guardiola did bring forward the elections, cannot be compared to that of the Canary Islands, where Prohens approved the 2024 and 2025 budgets with the support of the far right.</p>]]></description>
