Pere Joan Pons takes Spain's Balearic delegate post

Palma, Mallorca: Pere Joan Pons takes office as the Spanish government’s delegate in the Balearic Islands at 16.00 on Tuesday, 3 November. The government delegation says the ceremony will take place at its headquarters in Palma. Spain’s Council of Ministers approved Alfonso Rodríguez’s dismissal and Pons’s appointment a week earlier.

Born in Palma, Pons has degrees in information sciences and law. He specialised in European Union law, international humanitarian law and public international law at Paris-XI University. He served in Spain’s parliament from 2016 to 2023 before becoming a senator. Until now, he has also been president of 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 in the elections planned for 2027.
