Absolute majorities, or even significant majorities, are a thing of the past. Right now, both at the national level and in the Balearic Islands, we are witnessing the need to find ways to solve citizens' problems. But this isn't always the case. Small groups can wield excessive power over larger ones, and if this happens, it runs counter to the will of the people.

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.
