The socialists in the Consell de Mallorca have requested access to “all the information” about the costs of the trip made by the vice president and councilor of Environment, Rural Affairs and Sports, Pedro Bestard, to Saudi Arabia to attend a match of RCD Mallorca. According to the PSIB, Bestard’s absence in the plenary session this Thursday is unjustifiable, and they have demanded explanations to the government team about the expenses generated by him and the insular director of Sports, Antoni Prats. The socialist spokeswoman in the Consell, Catalina Cladera, criticized the councilor’s absence, stating that “it is not understood how attendance at a soccer match can justify the absence of a key member in an important plenary.”
Controversy in Menorca
The criticisms of the socialists of Mallorca come a few weeks after the controversy originated by the trip of a socialist councilor in Menorca. Eduardo Robsy, former director general of Housing in the Government of Armengol, until today advisor to the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, in the Office of Economic Affairs and G20 of the Government of Spain and councilor of the Socialist Group in the opposition in the first institution of Menorca went on vacation to Sri Lanka on a private trip, which made possible, together with the absence of the Socialist spokeswoman, Susana Mora, that the minority government of the PP approved the accounts for 2025 after having had to extend those of 2023.
