Following the release of the report of the Code of Ethics and Good Code of Ethics and Good Governance Commission during this morning’s plenary session of the Consell de Formentera, Gent per Formentera and the Socialist Party have shown their willingness to pave the way for the motion of censure for Sa Unió to govern in minority. However, they have raised conditions: that the leaders of Sa Unió also accept their responsibilities in the institutional and political crisis that this week turned a year old. “With real resignations,” said Rafael Ramirez, president of the PSOE. Although they did not name names and asked for time to analyze the full contents of the report, they are asking for the head of one referent per side: all the spotlights point to the responsibilities of José Manuel Alcaraz of the PP and Javier Serra of Compromís. The president of Gent per Formentera, Alejandra Ferrer, said that “with the conclusions presented today, although they require a detailed analysis, what is clear is that Mr. Cordoba must resign immediately. We give him the opportunity to do so right now and to leave this plenary session to allow the necessary actions to be carried out to ensure a government capable of leading this Consell”. In addition, he has remarked that the Consell is “completely paralyzed, lacks prestige and is under a one-man government that has shown a lack of respect and diligence“. Ferrer has said that “to put an end to this spectacle and paralysis, we will work together with the Socialist Party to find the conditions to ensure a minority government led by Sa Unió. This, of course, will require a series of conditions”. Rafael Ramírez, of the PSOE, reiterated that, “although the report needs further analysis, the seriousness of the points made and its conclusions leave only one possible option. The only decent and responsible path for someone who believes in democracy would be resignation.” “Any sensible person, with political dignity and respect for the citizenship, would present right now his irrevocable resignation before this institution and before the citizens. If you are not working in favor of the citizens and the public interest, you are working against them. What we have seen this year is a spectacle motivated by particular interests”, he maintained. For this reason, he said that “this situation cannot continue” and spoke of an “act of generosity” of his party.
“From the respect for the elections that took place a little over a year ago, we understand that the citizens voted in majority for Sa Unió, but not to be governed in this way. From this moment on, if Mr. Cordoba does not assume his political responsibility, We will demand that Sa Unió assume the rest of the responsibilities outlined in this report. Only then will they be able to count on our support to return stability and functioning to this institution. “said Ramirez. In this sense, he said that Cordoba is not the only one responsible for the political crisis on the island: “If the reflection of this responsibility is assumed with resignations, real resignations, is the work that we will do both GxF and PSOE”.
