Mallorca Socialists invoke Antich in fourth-seat push
Mallorca’s Socialists want a fourth Balearic seat in Spain’s Congress of Deputies: at a campaign rally in Palma, Mallorca, on Saturday, they invoke the late former Balearic president Francesc Antich to seek votes in the 29 November general election. The PSOE held three Balearic seats in the last parliament.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez attends the rally, where speakers urge voters to keep him in office. Francina Armengol, the PSOE’s lead candidate in the Balearics, says her party is out to win. But she says its campaign will continue beyond 29 November, through local, island council and regional elections on 23 May.
Armengol recalls Antich’s call for a vote guided by conviction during the 2024 European election campaign. She says he was proud that Catalan and other co-official languages could be spoken in Congress. With the conservative People’s Party threatening to remove that right, she insists that the languages must be left alone.
