Some certainty restored
The uncertain state of Majorca’s political scene started to acquire greater certainty last week.
On Sunday, a “crunch weekend for local politics” concerned doubts as to whether the investiture of PSOE’s Francina Armengol as Balearic president would go ahead later in the week.
PSOE were accusing potential coalition partners, Més, of “blackmail”, while “alarm bells” had been going off in Més ranks when it seemed as though their man might not have a clean run to the presidency of the Council of Majorca: the PSOE man was saying that he hadn’t given up on being president himself.
By Wednesday, however, relations between the two parties appeared to have got back on friendlier terms.
The Més man, Miquel Ensenyat, was indeed to be president of the Council. “I want Majorca to be home for all nationalities,” said British-born Miquel, for whom, it would appear, certain food is known at home in English: roast beef, for example. Meanwhile, the Armengol investiture had been called off.
It was hoped that it would now take place this Tuesday (30 June), though Més were still to yet say definitively if they would back the investiture. On Thursday it was clear - insofar as any of this has been clear - that Armengol would be the only candidate to be voted on after the investiture debate and that she would indeed be named president on Tuesday. (Unless something else happens in the meantime.)
