Mallorca first-home costs could fall 35% in SALF plan
Mallorca first-time buyers under 40 could see the cost of their first home cut by 35% under a plan put forward on Thursday, 12 November. Se Acabó La Fiesta (SALF) has set out 119 election proposals for the Balearic Islands, covering ten areas. None of the measures has been adopted.
SALF says tax breaks, public land and faster permits would help bring down the cost of a first purchase. It also wants guarantees covering 20% of the deposit. For renters, the party proposes public insurance against unpaid rent. It wants to scrap property tax, known as IBI.
Shorter waits for treatment
SALF wants to cap waits at 60 days for surgery, 30 days for a specialist appointment and seven days for a priority test. If a patient waits longer, the party says they should receive care at another publicly funded centre. It also proposes higher pay for healthcare staff.
Tax cuts and fewer ministries
The party wants to raise the income-tax-free threshold gradually to 35,000 euros by 2030. It also proposes ending contributions for self-employed workers and cutting business taxes, though those cuts could depend on certified structural savings.
SALF wants to reduce the number of government ministries from 22 to ten. It also says existing pensions should be protected and adjusted in line with inflation. For now, these remain election proposals.
