Afterlast Monday’s cancellation, the extraordinary plenary session of the Consell de Formentera was held this morning, convened by the island’s president Llorenç Cordoba, which, as expected, was marked by the institutional crisis that the island is going through. Thus, with the only positive vote of Cordoba and 13 abstentions, a budget amendment of 4.1 million euros has been approved , necessary to ensure the payment of the payroll and the extra pay for December to officials of the institution. The socialist group and GxF have exposed that the Consell is heading for“economic collapse because it spends more than it has“. In this sense, they stated that “it does not comply with the budget stability and will be subjected to an adjustment plan”. In addition, Rafael González (GxF) criticized the coalition sa Unió for saying that the Consell’s cash was empty and stated that there were “10 million euros left over”. “The Consell is heading for a collision,” he said. Rafael Ramírez (PSOE) has referred to the“runaway spending” in the chapters of the budget that, he said, sa Unió had pledged to reduce. On the other side, he was answered by José Alcaraz (sa Unió), who brought the political crisis to the center by blaming both the PSOE and GxF for not wanting to negotiate a motion of censure. “They are the most responsible for what has been happening for 10 months because they do not want to do anything,” he said. This generated a response from Cordoba, who has planted that the councilors of sa Unió “ceased in office six months ago and what they should do is get to work so that there is a Governing Board. If they do not like this solution, leave their acts and let other councilors enter”. To the shouts, Alcaraz has described Cordoba as “dictator” for not allowing to answer him.
