The ratified portion of the agreement pertains to the statutes of the Safety Committee, which will be responsible for addressing most of the 48 points on the workers' list of demands. "This is the starting point for establishing this committee, which will benefit all citizens of the Balearic Islands and, in particular, the railway company," emphasized SFM's general manager, José Ramón Orta.</p>]]></description>

Speaking to the media after the meeting, SFM manager José Ramón Orta indicated that the negotiations are "on the right track," while the president of the works council, Ricardo Mas, celebrated the move "from doing nothing to doing something, which is always better." Mas also lamented that the safety committee for train traffic and the internalization of contracts in sensitive safety areas were still not discussed. After more than two hours of meetings, the workers' representative criticized the company for not providing a clear, structured, or formal response regarding the 48 safety measures presented. </p>]]></description>

The event was attended by the President of the Government of Mallorca, Marga Prohens; the Minister of Housing, Mobility and Territory, José Luis Mateo; the Mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez; and the Managing Director of SFM, José Ramón Orta. The authorities unveiled a commemorative plaque, toured the facilities, and, at the end of the official presentation, symbolically opened the new headquarters cafeteria. Prohens celebrated the restoration of the former hostel, a modernist building constructed in 1913 and declared a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC), a process that began in 2012 when the Administration initiated the legal procedure to reclaim its public ownership. "We have completed a long project to return this building to public use, a project with which we have recovered heritage and living history of our islands," he applauded. </p>]]></description>
