Ibiza housing tops PP candidate’s Senate campaign
Ibiza, in Spain’s Balearic Islands, needs more homes: People’s Party candidate Carmen Ferrer Torres puts housing at the centre of her campaign for a seat in Spain’s Senate. Her party says she launched her campaign on 13 November 2026, ahead of the 29 November general election, and wants Ibiza’s concerns heard in Madrid.
More homes for Ibiza
Ferrer wants to increase the supply of homes, simplify administrative procedures and give owners greater legal certainty so more properties enter the residential market. She points to limited-price housing schemes promoted by the Balearic regional government and several local councils.
Security and migration
She also wants more resources for state security forces. Ferrer says national planning must take account of the large changes in Ibiza’s population and economic activity over the year.
Ferrer describes irregular arrivals by boat as a source of pressure on the island. She says children who arrive must be cared for and protected, while the national government must meet its responsibilities for immigration, foreign policy and border control.
Businesses, pensions and care
For self-employed people and small and medium-sized businesses, Ferrer calls for lower taxes and less bureaucracy. She also plans to campaign on pensions, policies for older people and recognition for Ibiza’s social organisations over the next two weeks.
