The transfer of waste from Ibiza and Formentera to Mallorca reopened a new front between the Govern and Vox during the plenary session of the Parliament this Tuesday, evidencing a clash that has been dragging on since the fall of the decree of acceleration of strategic projects.
The deputy of Vox, Patricia de las Heras, demanded the Minister of Economy, Finance and Innovation, Antoni Costa, that the Executive drafts a specific decree to legally endorse the transfer of waste, planned before the imminent limit of the useful life of the landfill of Ca na Putxa. According to the formation, this “inevitable” action cannot be subordinated to a text that they consider “contaminated with Agenda 2030”.
Costa flatly rejected the option of a decree of his own and defended maintaining the planned formula: to include the legal coverage within the decree of acceleration of strategic projects, previously rejected in the House precisely because of the vote against Vox. “We are willing to negotiate. Tell us which sections you do not like, we talk about them and, when there is consensus, we approve it in full,” said the vice president.
The conseller reproached De las Heras for criticizing the presence of references to the 2030 Agenda in the text, assuring that “it is not true” that it is full of them, although he was willing to correct what was necessary to unblock the situation. “I think they share most of the measures. It was not the content that motivated their rejection,” he said.
Vox, however, maintained its position and accused the Govern of “trilerism” and of hiding its supposed alignment with progressive policies from its voters. “Bring a specific decree and you will have our vote. Say clearly that you support Agenda 2030. We will not accept blackmail from the old politics,” responded De las Heras.
The Govern insists on negotiation, while Vox demands an independent legal framework. The result of this pulse will determine the deadlines and legal certainty of the future waste transfer, a measure that all parties consider necessary, but whose administrative path remains mired in political disagreement.
