Mallorca housing row: Armengol targets PP over law

Mallorca’s housing problem sparks a political clash: Francina Armengol accuses the People’s Party (PP) of rejecting measures in Spain’s housing law that she says could help people find homes. The Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) lead candidate for Congress makes the charge at a meeting with party members and supporters in Sóller, Mallorca, on 9 November 2026. She says housing is a particularly pressing issue on the island and in the Serra de Tramuntana.

Armengol also calls for stronger public services and action on climate change. She points to higher pensions and a rise in the minimum wage as achievements of the Spanish government.

Amanda Fernández, the Socialists’ leader on Mallorca, urges progressive voters to take part in the coming election. She warns that the PP’s approach to privatisation puts hard-won social gains at risk.

The meeting ends with a discussion of tourism pressure, transport and the growing difficulty young people in the Serra face in finding housing. Jaume Mateu, the Socialists’ leader in Sóller, says the gathering has strengthened the party’s direct contact with members and the public.
