“The game is fantastic”

After losing the last three elections, regional, national and European, in addition to having been expelled from the three main institutions of the Islands, the secretary of the Organization of Socialists explained that “the game is fantastic. We achieved a very good result in the legislative elections in July last year. In fact, we are demonstrating a strength that the PP did not expect. “We are showing solidity.”
“What worries us is that the institutions are in the hands of those who are. They are causing a real disaster. We are concerned about the pact [PP y Vox] that we have in the Balearic Islands, but we are sure that we have the most solid project so that in the next call things change. That is how confident Bonet was when responding to a possible problem in the game after seeing how the PP of Marga Prohens took power of all the major institutions of the Balearic Islands after the elections held in May 2023.
A PSOE without replacement in the Balearic Islands
ANDNext September, the former president of the Balearic Islands Francesc Antich will be the star protagonist of the PSIB-PSOE, which will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first Progress Pact within the Government (1999-2003) chaired by the politician from Algaida.
This is the first coalition of the PSOE of the Balearic Islands with communists and separatists from Socialist Party of Majorca (now Més per Majorca) take power in the islands.
A formula that later would copy the PSC of Pasqual Maragall in Catalonia in 2003, which Antich republished between 2007 and 2011, and which Armengol always had as a reference as an outstanding student.
Today Armengol and the leadership of the Socialist Party of the Islands, They have no possible replacement and the political caste of Miracle Street Palma, the socialist headquarters, seems to have everything under control for to stay in power and continue to live from politicswhether they are in power or in opposition as is currently the case, without anyone raising their voice.
