Momento del Pleno de Formentera

After the failed attempt of an extraordinary plenary session last Monday, Llorenç Córdoba has once again summoned the representatives of the Consell de Formentera for a session this Friday. The meeting, unlike the previous one, will focus its agenda on financial management issues, with the expectation that this time it will achieve a consensus. This extraordinary plenary, of an urgent nature, will address a budget amendment of 4.1 million euros, necessary to ensure the payment of the payroll and the extra pay for December to officials of the institution. It will also address sports subsidies and the extrajudicial recognition of debt, issues that, according to the opposition, could have been resolved on Wednesday if Cordoba had adjusted the content of the previous plenary.

Political tension continues to rise in Formentera

The rejection of the opposition parties, Sa Unió, Gent per Formentera and the PSOE, to hold Monday’s session lies in the lack of inclusion in the agenda of the expected report of the Ethics and Good Governance Commission. This document, requested by the opposition and delayed by the island president, has become a point of contention, as it is considered crucial to address the institutional crisis that the island is experiencing. Since its cancellation, Cordoba has assured that the presentation of the report will take place “when appropriate”.arguing that it is necessary to review all administrative aspects to ensure the validity of its contents. However, he has rejected the date requested by Gent per Formentera, which called for the report to be presented before November 14.

Cordoba under pressure from the opposition

The position of the president has not calmed tempers in the Consell. Rafa Ramirez, PSOE councilor, has pointed out that the regulations require that the concluded files be included in the plenary. “Transparency and accountability to citizens cannot be postponed,” Ramirez emphasized. In a more critical tone, José Alcaraz, of Sa Unió, ironized about Córdoba’s attitude, dubbing him “Don Erre que erre” for his apparent obstinacy. The president of the Consell has responded by reiterating that this report should be used to solve Formentera’s problems and not as a political tool. Meanwhile, the island’s community is waiting expectantly for the resolution of these disputes, which, if settled this Friday, could shed some light on the political and administrative direction of the island in the coming months.
