Green light for gas and oil exploration plan, claims leader of opposition

Palma.—The leader of the Socialist Party in the Balearic Parliament, Francina Amengol, said yesterday that she suspected that the local government had knowledge that the Ministry for Industry in Madrid was set to give the green light to oil and gas exploration in Balearic waters. The leader of the Balearic government, Jose Ramon Bauza, has said that he  will fight the oil and gas plan but critics said that his hands are tied because the necessary contracts have already been awarded.
