First blow from Vox against the independence leader Jaume Alzamora at the beginning of the plenary session held this Thursday by the Consell of Mallorca. Month for Mallorca asked the vice-president of the institution, Pedro Bestard (Vox), for his presence last August on a stage of the Vuelta Cyclist in Spain in La Coruña, who paid for his stay and the reason for this visit while, according to what the independentists accuse him of, his department has no power
The Minister for the Environment, Rural Environment and Sport also responded that they should be well informed to check that they do have powers. In fact, Bestard went to Padrón and was received by Fernando Escartíntechnical director of the Vuelta, to bring a stage to Mallorca in the next editions.
“I am sure that the spokesman for Més, Jaume Alzamorais very happy that we are bringing the Vuelta Ciclista a España to Mallorca, because he does test 312an international cycling race held on the island, where More than 6,000 foreigners participate and there are no problems“.
And that’s when Bestard took the opportunity to throw a barb at him that provoked laughter and applause on the Vox bench: “If you don’t like us bringing the Vuelta Ciclista to Mallorca, We will organize a swimming competition in your pool..
The vice-president of the Consell de Mallorca assured during the plenary session that the Vuelta Ciclista a España is a very important event for Mallorca and explained that during the last edition of Fitur, the International Tourism Fair of Madrid, he maintained the first contact with the management of the Return. “They showed themselves very happy that after so many years the Consell de Mallorca has shown interest again to bring this cycling event to the island,” he said.
He later said that last August he attended a stage of the Vuelta “to see for himself the scale of the test, how it was organised and How can we get him to Mallorca now?. And when Més insisted that he answer his questions, he said: “Don’t worry, we will do everything possible to make this a reality.”
Pedro Bestard said that “Mallorca cannot afford to miss such an opportunity”since the Vuelta Ciclista a España is “a world reference”. “The best cyclists in the world will race on the roads of Mallorca. It is an event that has a significant economic impact for our island,” he added.
It is worth recalling that OKDIARIO revealed that Jaume Alzamora, who defends the limitation of the sale of houses to foreigners but He sold his in Artà to a German citizen for 650,000 euros, is built now a chalet with swimming pool inside city that banned them due to the lack of water which caused the drought.
On June 18, the Artà City Council approved in an extraordinary plenary session the suspension of all types of authorizations and building permits to build, expand and renovate swimming pools, facilities or any water reservoir for recreational or decorative purposes.
However, Jaume Alzamora was able to build his pool thanks to a permit granted before the ban, which dates back to June 18. In fact, the independence leader obtained planning permission for his chalet with a pool in June 2023. In any case, it is striking that the leader of a group that fought against swimming pools does not hesitate to build one.
