The ordinary activity of Parliament concludes this Tuesday with a final plenary session in which Més per Menorca will demand improvements for the 'escoletes' sector, while the PP will bring an initiative to the Chamber to express rejection of the proposed reform of the financing system.
The plenary session will begin at 09:00 with the last control session of the Government and will conclude with the vote that will determine whether the current session period is extended in order to process the law regulating vehicle entry into Mallorca.
In this plenary session, deputies will have to pronounce on a motion from Més per Menorca that seeks, in the words of its deputy Joana Gomila, to "give a voice" to the collective of 'escoletes' workers.
In the text, the Menorcanists propose the reduction of ratios in classrooms, a reduction in bureaucratic burden and "dignified" working conditions, as well as the Conselleria de Educación y Universidades taking direct management of public 'escoletes' and internalizing all staff.
For their part, the 'popular' will present a non-binding proposal (PNL) to reject the proposed reform of the financing system promoted by the central government and demand that the claims of the Balearic Islands be addressed.
The deputy spokesperson for the PP in Parliament, Marga Durán, explained that the document calls on the central Executive to redo its approach under the principles of "equality, multilateralism and respect for tax autonomy".
The initiative also urges the recovery of dialogue within the Council of Fiscal and Financial Policy, through an "open and consensual" negotiation with all autonomous communities.
The plenary session will also address a PNL from Vox that proposes creating an autonomous deduction in personal income tax for expenses incurred by residents in the Balearic Islands on gym memberships, sports centers, clubs, federations, directed activities, and personal training services.
According to Vox spokesperson Manuela Cañadas, practicing sports "is not a luxury, it is health and prevention," so, in Islands where the cost of living "suffocates families," reducing tax pressure on those who take care of their health would be "common sense."
The proposal includes specific protection for families with children, those over 65 years of age, and people with disabilities, groups that, in Cañadas' words, "are the ones who need it most and who can least afford for the tax authorities to penalize them for wanting to be healthy."
Last control session for the Government
Parliamentary groups will have the last opportunity this Tuesday to ask questions to the councilors and the President of the Government, Marga Prohens.
They will do so with issues that have been repeated throughout the legislature, such as access to housing, the situation of healthcare, road mobility, and tourism policies.
Likewise, the PSIB will once again bring the conflict in the 'escoletes' (nursery schools) to the plenary hall, one day before the strike called by the sector's workers to demand a regional collective agreement. In this way, they will question the Minister of Education and Universities, Antoni Vera, about the status of this negotiation.
Questions will also be registered regarding the future agrarian law – which the Government plans to approve in the coming months –, innovation policies, and the negotiation of the next regional budgets.
Regarding this last point, the Government spokesperson, Antoni Costa, spoke last Friday, indicating that the Executive has begun to prepare the 2027 accounts, but ruled out agreements with Vox that incorporate other measures.
The President of the Government will have to answer questions related to tourism (Més per Menorca), the triple insularity of Formentera (Llorenç Córdoba), whether the Balearic Islands "are ready for summer" (MÉS per Mallorca), and the conflict in the 'escoletes' (PSIB).
Limitation of vehicle entry
In the final stretch of the plenary session, deputies will vote on whether to extend the current session period to advance the regulations limiting vehicle entry.
The Board of Spokespersons decided to include this matter on Tuesday's agenda with the support of all groups except Vox.
Left-wing parties were in favor of extending the parliamentary session period, the PP avoided stating the direction of their vote, and Vox expressed its rejection.
The deputy spokesperson for the PP stressed that the authorization of the rest of June and July as part of the same session period could have been agreed upon in the Permanent Deputation, although her group did not oppose its debate in the plenary session.
Even so, he criticized the PSIB for "being in a great hurry" for this law to be approved, even though it cannot be applied this summer.
