The regional government has recently transferred certain responsibilities to the Council of Majorca. These have been for some social services functions and for tourism promotion. At the time that these transfers were being effected, we noted in the Bulletin that they corresponded with ambitions expressed by the president of the Council, Miquel Ensenyat, for a more powerful "Majorcan government", i.e. the Council.

Could I suggest that when the DB writes about the Mallorca local government ( each island, including would you believe Formentera, has one ) it refers to it as Consell and not Council, so as readers who are not familiar with the political and administrative setup do not mistakenly believe you are talking about Palma’s or their local town hall.
Another example of bureaucrats wasting their time and OUR money trying to solve something that doesn’t need solving instead of trying to find a solution for the 1000’s of families who are unable to find adequate housing at affordable prices.
