We are not amused

Should politicians and senior officials do the “honourable” thing and say “you first, sir/madam” or should they have the jab because they are in a position of trust and are therefore vital for the smooth running of the islands? To be honest, I would say that they should wait their turn. What you can’t have is politicians appearing to be getting preferential treatment.

The “Hat bar affair” in which the President of the Balearic government, Francina Armengol, allegedly was drinking after hours and breaking her own governments Covid protocols, has done local politicians few favours. Infact, if Majorcans were sceptical before, they are even more so now. When things return to normal I think an independent inquiry is needed. It does appear that politicians have jumped the queue. These are serious allegations and can’t be dismissed. We are all being asked to make sacrifices and politicians should lead by example.
