The Més per Menorca deputy Josep Castells announced this Friday in a statement that he will not run in the party's primary elections. This means that at the end of the legislative term, he will cease to be a member of Parliament. "I will close a 12-year period during which I have had the immense satisfaction of representing the people of Menorca," he said, and assured that, during this period, he has carried out his parliamentary work "with absolute freedom." "I have never had to defend or vote for something different from what I believed needed to be voted for," he explained: "This, which may seem like an obvious fact, I have been able to verify in Parliament is a privilege, seeing how on many occasions the deputies of the main parties in the chamber have been forced to vote for things they did not believe in."
