The socialists will defend a motion in the next plenary session of the Consell de Mallorca to suspend the processing of the 2026 waste tariff and halt the payment of the 41.4 million euros approved this summer until the real costs of the service have been reviewed. The initiative also incorporates a new front: it demands a review of the 50 million committed by the Government of the Balearic Islands for the transport and treatment of Ibiza's waste in Mallorca, after the PSIB denounced that 41 million have already been transferred without any economic report to justify the amount.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/6da282c6-f0c9-4aa8-80a9-b9800a8b150d_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>The Balearic Minister of Health, Manuela García, stated this Tuesday in Parliament that between 60% and 96% of IB-Salut's contracts exceeding €100,000 during the pandemic violated the Public Procurement Law. García presented the preliminary results of the audit commissioned by the Government in response to a question from Vox deputy Patricia de las Heras. The Minister explained that an "independent company" reviewed 60 contracts awarded through emergency procedures during the previous legislative term's COVID-19 response and asserted that the report justifying the contracts was prepared after the work had already been carried out in "most cases." She also explained that the contracts were not formalized in writing, and there was no certificate of conformity or receipt of materials. Furthermore, "a significant portion of the contracts" were not uploaded to the Government's profile on the public procurement portal. On the other hand, García referred to the information that has appeared in the media regarding alleged irregularities in the contracting of companies like Soluciones de Gestión, at the epicenter of the Koldo case. For this reason, García assured that the Government will demand every "last cent" that may have been awarded in these contracts with alleged "links to corrupt schemes," as in the case of the fraudulent face masks. The councilor pointed out that the Executive is not afraid of audits and investigations, but rather promotes them. For his part, De las Heras criticized the Government for failing to meet the six-month deadline it set to clarify the situation and demanded results to find out what happened with the Balearic branch of the Koldo case. </p>]]></description>
