Palma.Chamber of Commerce President Joan Gual had strong words for Central Government yesterday after Madrid had made it known they would put a limit to aircraft and ferry fares to which the Balearic 50 percent discount could be applied. The resident discount is untouchable, Gual said so that to introduce a new law for a few exceptions isn't worth the while, especially if it prejudices the rights of regional residents. Gual said that he was positively alarmed by the changes. It's time for all political parties to take steps, he furthered. This is a clear move by Central Government to put restrictions on the rights of Balearic residents to the 50 percent discount. We are absolutely against these limitations and it is very puzzling that a Central Government which has been so intent on making spending cuts has approved 2'000 million euros for the high speed train in Galicia, Gual claimed.
