Vox closes the crisis in the Balearic Islands after reaching an agreement with the rebel deputies

Le Senne will continue as president of the Balearic Parliament

Vox closed the open crisis in the Balearic parliamentary group this Thursday, after five rebel deputies expelled the party leader and the president of Parliament, Patricia de las Heras and Gabriel Le Senne, after reaching an agreement with the wayward ones.

In a statement, the party explained that Le Senne will continue as president of the Balearic Parliament and that the parliamentary group, which was controlled by the five rebels, will once again include those expelled at the end of January. It will remain "intact", according to Santiago Abascal's party.

The formation has explained that a delegation from the general secretariat, held by Ignacio Garriga, met this Thursday with the five rebels, led by the spokesperson in the Balearic Parliament, Idoia Ribas. In the meeting, "with a desire for understanding and ensuring the stability" of the PP Government supported by Vox by virtue of an investiture agreement, the parties have resolved "different misunderstandings and distorted information."

Thus, the parties have agreed to continue working "united" to achieve the "commitments" made with the voters and comply with the measures agreed with the 'popular', specifically mentioning linguistic freedom in the Islands.

"The national leadership considers the so-called Balearic crisis closed," insists the Vox Executive, who blames "interested leaks", without specifying, for "largely amplifying" the difficulties that the parliamentary group has gone through.

The crisis in the Balearic Islands began with the expulsion of Le Senne and De las Heras at the end of January, but there was already a previous gap as a result of the disagreement between the PP and Vox over the spending ceiling of the Islands' budgets and an initiative for the choice of languages ​​in schools. Vox refused to vote in favor of the 'popular' spending ceiling if its partners did not approve the linguistic measure.

Those from Vox insisted on making their support for the budgets subject to the approval of their initiative, which ultimately divided the parliamentary group. The disagreement affected Xisco Cardona, who left his organic positions at Vox and joined the non-attached group in Parliament. He assured after his departure that the party's instructions were "precise" in relation to the progressive imposition of free choice of language in schools and the approval of the spending ceiling and said he was unaware of the change in criteria.

Thus, of the eight Vox deputies in the Balearic Parliament elected in the regional elections of 28M, seven remained. Five of them, the wayward ones led by Ribas, decided to expel the leader of Vox in the Balearic Islands and the president of the Cortes at the end of January, alleging "internal circumstances of the group." Immediately, the national leadership of Vox transferred its support to De las Heras and Le Senne and they provisionally expelled the mutineers.

At all times, both the five rebels and the expelled ones worked hard to guarantee their support for the Government of Marga Prohens. Now, according to Vox management, the seven Vox deputies in the Balearic Islands share the "concern" of focusing on representation and compliance with the commitments made to voters and partners.
