Thus, the transfer of waste between the islands hangs by a thread after the far right dropped the decree-law on accelerating strategic projects in Parliament – the very decree the governing team intended to use to provide legal cover for the project. Sources within the island institution have justified the exclusion of the 50 million euros from the 2026 budget by stating that the initiative "does not yet have legal backing." Although the Consell has not even budgeted for the waste transfer and the project currently lacks legal approval, the Councilor for the Environment, Rural Affairs, and Sports of the Consell de Mallorca, Pedro Bestard, assured that the waste would be taken from Ibiza to Mallorca.<a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/society/bestard-the-transfer-of-waste-from-ibiza-they-ll-just-take-it_1_5523326.html" >Period.</a>" </p>]]></description>
