THE results of the local elections have caused Calvia's British Councillor for Tourism and Foreign Affairs some concern.
Kate Mentink, while yesterday describing the Partido Popular's majority win in Calvia as brilliant, admitted that, now that the Partido Popular has lost its majority in government, the future of the newly formed European Citizens Department at government level could be in doubt.
I know there are some minority parties which do not particularly like the idea, she said yesterday.
While the department's future in Calvia is rock solid, as I said in the early hours of yesterday morning we have ambitious plans, at government level, we are going to have to wait and see which pact takes over and then, if needs be, start negotiations and I will not be part of that process, she said.
