Responsible for this content: Frank Menze
In Palma, Mallorca, Pere Joan Pons takes office as the Spanish government’s representative for the Balearic Islands on Tuesday, 3 November. The ceremony starts at 16.00 at the Government Delegation’s headquarters, the delegation says. Spain’s Council of Ministers removed Alfonso Rodríguez and appointed Pons a week earlier.
Born in Palma, Pons served in Spain’s parliament from 2016 to 2023 before taking a seat in the Senate. He also chairs the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
Rodríguez said in July that he would run again for mayor of Calvià, Mallorca, in the elections planned for 2027.
