The countdown to the local elections in the Balearics is well underway with pollsters saying that the result is too close to call. The centre-right Partido Popular (PP), which could form the next Balearic government and rule key councils cross the island, is targetting the so-called foreign vote and has organised a rally in Palma for next month in English.
"The PP, through its President in the Balearic Islands, Marga Prohens, with the presence of its candidates for the Town Councils of Palma, Calviá and Andratx, plus the candidate for the Council of Mallorca, wish to make themselves known to the foreign international community in Mallorca and inform about the steps to follow to be able to exercise the right to vote in the next Municipal Elections on 28.05.23. The presentation will be held in English. Meeting date: 09.01.23, Meeting time: 18:00, Meeting Place: Restaurant Varadero - Palma. Please confirm attendance by email to: baleares@pp.es..." the Partido Popular said in a statement today.
Every vote could prove vital with thousands of foreign citizens, including Britons, being able to vote in council elections. In Calvia, Andratx and even Palma, the foreign vote could prove vital.
The Balearics are at present ruled by a left-wing coalition led by the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE).

James WalkerI just have a low tolerance for bullshit. And it gets pretty deep here at times.
@Morgan. You seem an angry man. What's eating you up inside? I hope 2023 brings you happiness.
When and where is the Monster Raving Loony Party’s rally? They will no doubt present it in gibberish, spouting balderdash and poppycock! No, hold on, that’s what the other political party’s already do. Damn!
Anyone contemplating voting for the PP needs their head examined. If you disagree, you can display your idiocy by downvoting this comment.
James WalkerEpitome of low hanging fruit ... and they see you coming. Just like the good old days.
Is this just more poor journalism by MDB or is it they are that far left in there political views they don't want to tell the full story? I happen to be liberal conservative in my views, but where is there manifesto to incourage foreigners to come and vote. What exactly are they going to do for us? Or do they just expect us to come and vote? It wouldn't be to hard to get my vote after the National Socialists have destroyed this island and Spain in the last 4 years. Give me a reason to vote for you the PP. But I find it hard to trust any politicians, there all the same corrupt Tyrant's.
