After the elections of 28th May, today, Saturday 17th June, the different town councils of the islands are constituted, 67 in total, and the new mayors and mayorsesses will be appointed, as well as the rest of the municipal corporations
Constitutive session of the new corporation of the Palma Town Hall will take place from 10 am onwards, which can be followed live on youtube. PP (11) and Vox (6) have 17 councillors in Palma and have achieved the political turnaround in Palma City Council with an absolute majority. In this way, the left was left without the possibility of governing and reissuing the pact of the last two legislatures due to the collapse of Podemos, which has fallen from 3 to 1 councillor. PSOE went from 9 to 8 councillors and Més remains with 3.
Both the Partido Popular and Vox have experienced strong growth in these local elections, in line with what has happened in the Govern and the Consell de Mallorca. In this sense, the likely future mayor, Jaime Martínez (PP), has expressed on numerous occasions his intention to govern Cort in a minority in this legislature with the occasional support of Vox. For its part, Vox announced yesterday that it would not vote in favour of Martínez’s investiture as mayor of Palma. In this way, it will remain in the opposition and has criticised Martínez for preferring to form a “weak” government with only ten councillors plus the mayor.
