The opposition in the Palma City Council has accused the mayor, Jaime Martínez, of “living on another planet” and being “detached from the problems” of the citizens, while Vox has described his speech as “electoralist”. This is how the different municipal groups reacted after Martínez's intervention in the debate on the state of the city 2026, which began this Monday, as reported by Europa Press.

The Palma City Council will create a Metropolitan Area with Calvià, Marratxí, and Llucmajor. This was announced this Monday by the mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, during the state of the city debate. As explained, Cort will initiate contacts in the coming weeks with the city councils of these municipalities, as well as with the Consell de Mallorca and the Government, to provide this new entity with structure and institutional coordination, Europa Press reported.
