This was announced by the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal His party withdraws its support from the PP government of the Balearic Islands After accepting the training of Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the distribution of unaccompanied minor migrants -10 will arrive in the archipelago-. Abascal declared on Thursday afternoon that the Vox leadership has agreed to “withdraw the parliamentary support of the governments of Extremadura, the Balearic Islands, Aragon, the Valencian Community, Castilla y León and Murcia.” According to Abascal, “Vox” will become “an opposition as loyal as it is powerful” in these areas.

The far right was not part of the executive body of Marga Prohens (PP), but allowed the conservatives to govern on the islands thanks to a programmatic agreement of 110 measures which they agreed on a year ago. The agreement allowed Prohens to be invested as president in exchange for Vox's participation in the island councils of Mallorca and Menorca and compliance with said programmatic measures. In addition, the controversial president of the parliament, Gabriel Le Senne, comes from Vox, continuing with the division of powers resulting from this pact.

Based on this document, PP and Vox have approved several controversial measures during this parliamentary year, such as the plan to eliminate linguistic immersion in Catalan in schools –even though it ultimately turned out to be a failure-, a tax reform that benefits large fortunes, the possibility of minors attending bullfights or the abolition of subsidies to employers and trade unions.

If the vote of Sa Unió (right-wing island coalition) is added “The conservatives now have 26. The rest of the parliamentarians are from the left or from Vox, although the Vox group has shrunk in recent months due to internal disputes. Party sources on the islands had announced that they would refer to what the national leader said this afternoon.

Marga Prohens said a few hours ago that she was “expected” of the decision taken by Vox, but that he did not understand that in the islands “every agreement was broken”. The president of the Balearic Islands assured that at the moment she has not received any calls from Vox at regional level. “We are not failing to comply with the governance programme that we have with Vox”, he defended. The regional executive has not made any assessment after Abascal’s announcement and has preferred to refer to the statements that could be made tomorrow, Friday, as reported by Europa Press.
