Formentera election bloc wants cash for island costs
Formentera, Spain: an election alliance wants state money to offset the extra cost of living on the island. Gent per Formentera, PSOE and Moviment Sumar set out their Senate campaign in Sant Ferran on 13 November 2026. Formentera will elect its own senator for the first time, and Neus Massanet is the alliance’s candidate.
Cash for island costs
The alliance wants a dedicated item in the state budget to cover the extra costs of island life. It also wants air and sea connections reviewed and improved. Massanet says she would use the Senate seat to defend Formentera’s interests.
Homes for people who stay all year
On housing, the alliance wants to give priority to people who live on Formentera year-round. It proposes rules for seasonal lets, tax incentives for owners who charge affordable rents and social housing that cannot later enter the speculative market. The aim, it says, is to make more affordable homes available without building on more land.
Massanet also wants pensions to rise with living costs. Formentera’s state funding, the alliance argues, should reflect the number of people actually living on the island, not just those on the official register.
