Palma (EFE).- Vox deputy Gabriel Le Senne is the proposed candidate to preside over the Balearic Parliament, after the agreement reached with the PP according to which Santiago Abascal’s party will occupy the presidency of the chamber in order to facilitate the investiture as head of the regional government of the popular leader, Marga Prohens.
By virtue of this agreement, the 25 deputies of the PP will join the 8 of Vox to vote for Le Senne in the constitutive session of the Parliament that will be held from 11 a.m. this Tuesday, as confirmed to EFE by sources close to the group of the future president.
The candidate for the presidency of the chamber, lawyer and economist, accessed the seat after the resignation this Monday of the number one on the Vox list for Mallorca in the elections on May 28, Jorge Campos, who will run for the elections to the Congress of April 23rd.
PP-Vox agreement
The PP and Vox reached an agreement on Monday night for the constitution of the Balearic Parliament Board by which Santiago Abascal’s party appoints the president of the Chamber and the popular will have the first vice-presidency and a secretary.
The two parties thus paved the way for the inauguration of Marga Prohens as regional president, which requires at least the abstention of Vox.
The negotiators signed a programmatic pre-agreement to “change the policies of the last two legislatures” and provide the Balearic Islands with “a stable government”.
Vox sources stressed to EFE that they maintain their intention to enter that new Government and from the PP they stress that the agreement reached is limited to the Parliamentary Table and to establish a series of policies in which the two parties have common approaches.
Essential points of the preliminary agreement
Some of the essential points of the pre-agreement are to put an end to policies and regulations “that promote confrontation and division, or that attack the unity of the nation” and with “the linguistic imposition” of Catalan.
Regarding education, an area in which Vox claimed that the right to study in Spanish be guaranteed at any stage, it is agreed that this choice of language will be guaranteed only in the first years of education. They also advocate a school “free of ideological indoctrination.”
Another point in the document signed by the parliamentary spokesmen of the two parties, Idoia Ribas (Vox) and Sebastià Sagreras (PP), alludes to the promotion of business activity, with special attention to tourism.
They also agree on improving social services and supporting families “in all government action”, improving health and protecting women from attacks, especially in the field of “domestic violence”.
Another of the agreed points is the application of an audit “to identify and bring to court” those involved in cases of sexual exploitation of minors under guardianship.
The last of the five sections agreed upon by PP and Vox with regard to the policies of the next Government refers specifically to combating the “immigration mafias”.
