Mallorca PP roadworks video: election appeal fails

Sant Llorenç, Mallorca: an election appeal over a People’s Party (PP) visit to bypass roadworks fails, with a social-media video at the centre of the dispute. Spain’s Central Electoral Board has rejected an appeal by Ara Més-Front Ampli against an earlier decision by the Balearic Islands Provincial Electoral Board. The decision was reported on 13 November.

According to the PP, the original complaint did not identify specific words, images or other content in the video that allegedly broke election rules. The party says the Central Electoral Board found that electoral bodies did not have to search for possible breaches on their own.

The PP in Mallorca says three earlier complaints from Ara Més-Front Ampli also failed. Those concerned measures involving older people, heritage and infrastructure. The party accuses the coalition of using election complaints to challenge its work.
