CCOO also criticizes the Sustainability Pact: "It lacks concrete objectives and pace"

PalmThe CCOO union in the Balearic Islands joined the criticism of the Balearic Government's Pact for Sustainability, lamenting the lack of "concrete objectives and pace," as highlighted by the union's general secretary in the Islands, José Luis García, and reported by Europa Press. In fact, the lack of objectives and plans for implementing measures have been two of the main reasons why civil society organizations no longer participate in the Pact. The Civil Society Forum, GOB, the Federation of Neighborhood Associations of Palma, EAPN, and OCB have all withdrawn from this initiative, which they also accuse of lacking transparency in its operation. CCOO has demanded that the Government begin acting "right now" with transformative policies. "We need the Pact to be real. CCOO will not play the role of a mere follower of any government," García warned in an appearance to assess the situation in 2025. The general secretary pointed out that the union perceives a lack of progress because "there are no clear objectives" to guide government action. Furthermore, García lamented that public policies are not aimed at solving citizens' problems. He also asserted that the union "will not be able to continue working" if "people's real problems are not addressed." Despite positive labor market figures, CCOO points out that "they are not enough to generate well-being" for the working class in the Balearic Islands. One of García's demands is that housing be placed at the heart of public policies and that efforts be made to address the gap between wages and purchasing power. After a 2025 without substantial answers to the problems faced by citizens, the general secretary predicts that precarious employment will persist in broad sectors of society in 2026. In addition to expanding the public housing stock, the union is calling for a crackdown on real estate speculation and a housing pact for the Canary Islands.

The social entities that abandoned the Pact for Sustainability will neither return nor make proposals
