The PSOE denounces the "absolute paralysis" of Cort's parking plan: "They haven't moved a single stone"

PalmThe PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) in Palma criticized the "absolute paralysis" of the parking plan presented by the City Council's governing team in the summer of 2024, which, they asserted, "has been completely ignored." Two and a half years later, "citizens are still waiting for projects that are nothing more than empty promises," lamented Xisco Dalmau, deputy spokesperson for the PSOE in Palma. For Dalmau, the municipal government's "paralysis" is "absolute." "They haven't lifted a finger. Enough with these grandiose promises that don't solve people's problems, like the purchase of Gesa and the fairgrounds, which nobody asked for," he maintained. In the summer of 2024, the City Council presented a parking plan that included infrastructure in different neighborhoods of Palma, and in July 2025, the contract to conduct studies for these new parking facilities was awarded. However, for Dalmau, it is "a phantom plan without a budget or financial commitment." He also pointed out that the aforementioned plan "violates" the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP), developed in collaboration with citizen groups and still in effect. The SUMP, he said, anticipates and prioritizes parking facilities "that are indeed necessary" and that must be implemented "immediately." These include the parking facilities at Plaça del Progrés, Plaça Arquitecto Bennàssar, and Plaça del Médico Josep Darder, among others. "This negligence is yet another example of the abandonment of our neighborhoods," the Socialist representative stated. He thus demanded that the municipal government "think of the citizens and not the speculators" and that they "invest, put the works out to tender, and immediately comply with what is stipulated in the City Council's current Mobility Plan." However, the Socialist Party has asked the mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, to "get to work" and implement some "much-needed" parking facilities.
