“A great effort and sacrifice in favor of the island of Formentera”. This is how Sa Unió has described the resignation of José Manuel Alcaraz as Conseller, a condition demanded by the PSOE and GxF if they want to agree on a motion of censure to end the cycle of Llorenç Córdoba in the presidency of the Consell.
“We want to express our total and absolute support to our colleague and friend, and that we do not share the totally unfair demands of having to resign,” said the formation in an official statement. And added: “Even so, José Manuel Alcaraz fulfills the word given and has taken the personal decision to resign to provide solutions to the situation of ungovernability suffered by the Consell because of President Llorenç Córdoba”. Sa Unió stresses that “no previous resignation of any other Conseller of Sa Unió would have solved the situation”, which is why Alcaraz has considered “that it was time to take this step that involves a great effort and sacrifice in favor of the island of Formentera”. The coalition has not spared praise for the former vice president of the Consell, who was in charge of the portfolios of Economic Promotion and Island Administration until the crisis began Sa Unió: “José Alcaraz shows that he is a great politician and person, who not only did an exceptional job in the areas he managed, but sacrificed many things for the service on the island of Formentera and its neighbors”. Hours earlier, Alcaraz had justified his resignation by saying that he was acting “in defense of the general interest of the island and its people” and that “no person can ever be above the general interest”. The left not only demanded the resignation of Alcaraz to agree on a motion of censure, but asked the party to consider him “co-responsible” for the institutional crisis that has been going on for more than a year on the island, something that is not fulfilled in light of this writing.
