The president of the Balearic Islands, Marga Prohens, has thanked on behalf of the Government that the King and Queen chose Majorca to spend their holidays in the audience that they held this Thursday at the Palau de l’Almudiana, in Palma and has asked them to come to the islands on more occasions. “The presence of the Royal Family fills us with pride and it is appreciated that year after year they choose the islands,” she said. A group of citizens has demonstrated at the gates of the palace to support Don Felipe.
The Balearic president thanked the King for maintaining the reception for civil society this year as well and expressed her “pride” at being able to count on the presence of the King on more occasions “so that he can see first-hand cultural and business projects that They are going to be developed on the islands in the next four years.”
The president has detailed to Felipe VI the first measures that the Balearic Government has taken. The Parliament meets precisely this Thursday to validate the decree-law to abolish the inheritance tax and the partial repeal of the property transfer tax for those under 35 years of age, one of Prohens’ campaign promises.
Prohens has delivered a document to the King with the ten challenges that the executive is considering for these years and has influenced Felipe VI’s enormous knowledge of the Balearic Islands, a community where he has spent his vacations since he was a child. Prohens has stressed that he is a “great lover” of his culture and traditions. The president explained that at the meeting they discussed the challenge of housing, the lack of professionals, the tourism model, sustainability, transport, the University, innovation and the new economic sectors.
The King has also received the president of the Balearic Parliament, Gabriel Le Senne, the first institutional position of Vox that the monarch receives in audience. La Senne has indicated that he does not believe that the King is concerned about the political situation that has arisen in Spain, something about which they have spoken “briefly”.
Felipe VI has also received the mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, who has explained the cultural and sports projects for the city. The hearings with the new authorities have ended with the office with the President of the Consell de Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés.
