Sources close to the Executive acknowledge the unease over some of his interventions, which in some way portray the concessions of the PP to Vox, its parliamentary crutch, both for the hardening of the discourse on immigrants and for the setbacks in linguistic normalization. The latest episode has ended in an open confrontation: the Minister of Tourism, Jaume Bauzá, accused Taltavull of hypocrisy after the prelate recovered, in a report published in ARA Balears, a 1990 pastoral letter against the degradation of the territory and the excesses of the tourism model. It is the latest in a series of rebukes that the bishop has formulated without looking at the political color of those who govern. Taltavull has portrayed the 'sins' of the Executive.</p>]]></description>

"How can we compare one welcome to the other?" the bishop asked, also distinguishing between visitors who "generate economic benefits" and people who arrive out of necessity. "It has always disgusted me that there are Christians with this attitude that goes against the poorest and most needy," Taltavull criticized in an interview with the EFE news agency. "Every poor, needy person has more than enough reason to be welcomed from the very first moment," Taltavull continued, quoting the Gospel: "I was a stranger and you welcomed me." The bishop considers it a contradiction that no obstacles are placed in the way of the arrival of millions of tourists while 7,000 migrants arriving in boats are denied assistance.</p>]]></description>
