The party denounces that the PP government, with the support of Vox, has turned Palma into "a space at the service of speculation, overcrowding, and powerful lobbies." MÁS per Palma spokesperson Neus Truyol stated that "Palma cannot continue to be held hostage by the interests of a few. Either its people govern the city, or speculators do. And we have chosen which side we are on." Truyol directly points to the PP and Vox as responsible for a model that deepens "inequalities and erodes social, environmental, and cultural rights." She accuses the municipal government of acting "subordinately to tourism and real estate interests, and of refusing to provide bold solutions to the real problems of the citizens." "The PP has given up on governing for the majority. It has chosen to govern for the lobbies. We will govern for the people who get up early, who work, and who want to live with dignity in their city," said the eco-sovereignist spokesperson.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/1510c811-bc42-4c47-808c-8102badbd51a_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>The president of the Palma branch of the People's Party (PP), Jaime Martínez, presented the endorsements for his candidacy for re-election as party leader and encouraged the Socialist Party of the Balearic Islands (PSIB), Vox, Más per Palma, and Unidas Podemos (UP) to work as the opposition because, in his opinion, "they are doing too little." The mayor of Palma made this statement when asked about the outlook for the 2027 municipal elections at the presentation of the 812 endorsements supporting his candidacy at the Palma PP congress, which will take place on March 14. Martínez argued that the PP aspires to be the "majority" party that "Palma needs," but emphasized that they are "not focused on speculating," but rather on "solving the problems" of Palma, and expressed his conviction that the citizens will "endorse" them. Regarding the intention of the Vox spokesperson in the Palma City Council, Fulgencio Coll, to become mayor in the next legislature in exchange for possible support for the PP to remain in the Balearic Government, Martínez asserted that, for the moment, he is "the only" candidate currently undergoing a party congress process to nominate himself. On this matter, he indicated that the other parties "have not taken any steps" to present candidates for 2027, and therefore demanded that, "before making predictions," the parties must define their candidates. Even so, the mayor stressed that the Palma mayoralty is a "much more serious" issue than the debate about "the distribution of positions" and cited as an example the legislature in which José Hila (PSIB) and Antoni Noguera (MÁS per Palma) shared the position. </p>]]></description>
