The Balearic MEP Alícia Homs (PSOE) has demanded in the European Parliament that the European Union incorporate an insularity clause and systematically review its policies to take into account the needs of island territories. Homs has warned that the European strategy for islands runs the risk of remaining a simple diagnosis if it is not translated into concrete measures.

The General Court of the European Union on Wednesday rejected the appeal filed by José Ramón Bauzá against the reprimand imposed on him by the European Parliament for harassing a member of his team when he held a seat as a Citizens (Cs) MEP in the previous European legislature. The case dates back to 2022, when a parliamentary assistant to Bauzá reported his superior for psychological harassment to the relevant committee in Parliament, and an investigation was launched that concluded in February 2024, with the announcement by the institution's president, Roberta Metsola, that the harassment of the complainant had been proven.
