The president of the Government, Marga Prohenshas defended on Tuesday, during the Plenary of the Parliament, the tourist decree approved last Friday in Consell de Government, after the agreement with the Vox parliamentary groupwhich includes Tourism containment measures “In the short term” because “the transformation and transition measures cannot be in the short term” and in this sense he has recognized that, “as the director of the Impulsa Balearicas Foundation said, Antoni Rierathe transformation is not made by decree law ».
Faced with the waste of alarmism of the parties of the left -psoe, més and we can- for an alleged growth of tourist places from the decree, Prohens has defended the “Zero growth” which supposes the document agreed between PP and VOX.
Prohens has thus responded to the PSIB parliamentary spokesman, Iago Negueruela, who has asked the president “to be consistent, defend what she is going to do and not lie” because, he remembered him, “he said he would approve to increase the Sustainable Tourism Tax (STIs), as well as the Water canon For great consumers »and,” what has done has been to lift the moratorium of tourist places, which means putting 145,000 new places into circulation. “
In addition, he has continued to criticize Negueruela, “in parallel it will deliver the rest of the house that is built to the promoters so that the Balearic Islands be the Second residence in Europe». “If that is your project, defend it to the citizens,” he has threatens him, while his model has recriminated, “they only support Proinba and Habtur», And has demanded that” tourist floors must be for workers. “
The president of the Government has lamented that while Negueruela was a tourist Minister “Saturation was only a sensation” and “now he says it is a reality.” Along the same lines, he has recriminated the tourist law of the previous Government, of which he was a part, and that in his opinion “put many families in check,” which is why, he has considered Prohens, citizens sent the PSIB to the opposition and requested “a change in tourism policies.”
In this way, the president has defended the tourist decree, considering that “it adapts to what citizens requested”, since the measures that include “are collected in the PP government program, which It was the one who voted mostly the citizens of Balearics in the May 2023 elections ». A program that has also influenced Prohens, “was not just that of a few, that of the powerful, but already talking about containment in tourist and maintenance places of holiday rental places.”
“You want to load all the responsibility for the co -management of the island’s families, as you want It is now when they talk about decrease, then they talked about sensations and executed the creation of 115,000 tourist places.
Prohens has concluded considering that Negueruela, that «speaks so much of pseudomedios, has become a pseudoportavozwho only tells lies », because this tourist decree is that of “Zero growth”; And, «yes, it is true, there are housing problems, in Palma, in Ibizawhere tourist rent in multifamily is prohibited ». Therefore, he has concluded, “neither entangled nor lies.”
In the same control session of the Parliament, the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sports, Jaume Bauzàhas defended the tourist decree approved last Friday by the Consell de Government and has reproached the opposition to be tried “Change the story” To blame the Executive the increase of 115,000 places during his mandate.
This was said on Tuesday at the Parliament during the interpellation made by the socialist deputy Llorenç Pouwho has considered that the regional executive “has removed the mask after two years” and have defined what its tourist and urban model is.
Specifically, the representative of the PSIB He has reproached him that the aforementioned law contemplates the possibility that some 90,000 holiday tourist rental places that were dedicated to disappearing can be included in the bag and exchange. To these, according to the Socialists, we should add about 55,000 that were still alive but were affected by the moratorium.
«In 2023 there were 115,000 more squares, and what they do today is to try to change the story and make people believe that we who create 145,000 tourist places. It isn’t true, You created them And they come here to want to disassemble reality. But the reality is head and large, ”Bauzà replied.
The decree, the Minister has sustained, “is based on the Squares exchange“In the hotel sphere but always conditioned” to put housing at a limited price in the market. “
He also added, contemplates measures such as those tourist places that are subject to sanction can make the house available to a rental program in exchange for the exemption of the payment of 80 percent of the amount.
«That is, it has housing measures, because we know and I think we share that housing is the biggest problem that this community has. What I try, I say it once again, is to try to change the story, ”he insisted.
