The Minister of Tourism of the Council of Mallorca, Guillem Ginard, believes it is time to form a "common front, setting aside party acronyms" to decide on "the main gateway for passengers and tourists to Mallorca," the Son Sant Joan airport. He requests this, he said, to "reach an agreement for the good of an island that has limits and limited natural resources."

Over the weekend, "highest-level" calls were made to defend the bill for the airport co-management of the Islands.

The island Minister of Tourism, Guillem Ginard, accuses the PSOE of defending containment in Mallorca and growth in Madrid. After ARA Balears reported this Tuesday the lifting of the veto by the Bureau of the Congress of Deputies on the processing of the Bill for airport co-management approved by the Parliament of the Balearic Islands, Ginard has called for “seriousness” and an in-depth debate on the future of the airport and the tourism model of Mallorca. "We are talking about the island's main economic engine. They cannot ask us to contain tourist activity and listen to the people while the State works in the opposite direction," he warned.

And they have not limited themselves to saying no. They have added, without batting an eye, the reason why: because Aena cannot lose 32 million in revenue, 8 million of which arrive in the form of profits to the State.
