This statement was made by the president of the taxi drivers' association, Biel Moragues, after a meeting held this Wednesday at the Consolat de Mar with the President of the Government, Marga Prohens, and the Minister of Housing, Territory, and Mobility, José Luis Mateo. The meeting served to assess the recent rulings by the High Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands (TSJIB), which requires the Government to process these applications, which had been denied during the previous legislature, and which questions the potential arbitrariness of the VTC-to-taxi ratio.</p>]]></description>
