The PSOE of Formentera has stated that it will condition its abstention to the Consell’s 2026 budgets to specific items and the modification of the garbage collection fee.
In a statement, the socialists have stated that“the PSOE will not give away its vote” and have reiterated that they will only abstain if the island government team incorporates written commitments, with a budget, schedule and compliance control.
The PSOE has recalled that in 2025 an abstention agreement was reached linked to several conditions, an agreement that has not been fulfilled, with pending commitments such as the one related to the modification of the rate.
For this reason, the formation now sets an “insurmountable” condition, as it has insisted. Among other things, it has demanded that the modification of the rate be drafted in the first six months of 2026, aimed at a more equitable and proportional system.
They have also demanded an item for the drafting of the project of the Cultural Center of Sant Ferran, with a timetable for drafting and bidding in 2026. In addition, they have asked for an item for the kennel, with defined actions to ensure a decent and efficient service, as well as an item to intervene in Es Campament.
The socialists have demanded an investment for the remodeling of playgrounds; the improvement and expansion of the cemetery or improvement actions on the road to Es Cap, among other things.
On housing, the PSOE has demanded the expansion of the portfolio of services in the Housing Office, with an endowment and monitoring of rental prices and the deployment of a proactive policy from the Office to help solve the housing problem in Formentera.
“The PSOE will not give away its vote. In 2025 we accepted an agreement with conditions that have not been fulfilled and, therefore, we are demanding written commitments, deadlines and follow-ups. There is an insurmountable condition: the modification of the garbage collection fee that must be drafted in the first half of the year so that those who generate more, pay more. In housing, it is not enough to open an office, we must expand the portfolio of services, incorporate regular metrics of rental prices and deploy a proactive policy that contributes in a real way to solve the housing problem in Formentera,” said the PSOE.
