The parliamentary group of Vox will defend this Tuesday in the Commission of Territorial Policy of the Congress a proposition not of law (PNL) that raises to extend the discount of 75% in the air and maritime transport to the non residents who, for judicial decisions, must move regularly to extrapeninsular territories like Ibiza, Formentera, Majorca or Minorca.
-
Formentera, the only Balearic island without an airport, claims to have a voice in the new airport authority
-
The Govern reaffirms that the resident’s discount is assured
Non-custodial parents, minors and people with ascendant dependents
The proposal seeks to extend this rebate system, currently limited to residents, to also apply to:
-
Non-custodial fathers and mothers who, according to a court order, must travel to Ibiza or other islands to exercise their right of visitation or shared custody of minor children.
-
Unemancipated minors who reside outside the Balearic Islands but wish to visit the parent residing in the islands with whom they share custody.
-
Non-residents who have an ascendant in first degree in situation of dependency living in the Balearic archipelago.
This approach would positively affect many parents and family members who have to travel to Ibiza from the mainland and who currently do not benefit from the 75% discount on air and sea travel, even though the reason for the trip is legal and justified.
Non-binding initiative with social impact
The non-legislative proposal being debated in Congress is not binding, so it does not imply an immediate modification of the regulations. However, it seeks to urge the Government to study legislative changes to include these cases in the transport aid system.
This move by Vox joins other recently discussed initiatives to improve Ibiza’s connectivity and make travel more accessible, especially for family situations that directly affect minors or dependents.
