The fourth opposition parties in the Balearic Islands have offered their votes to the Balearic president, Marga Prohens, to approve next year's budget without submitting to Vox's demands. PSOE, Més, Més per Mallorca and Podemos have shown themselves willing to approve Prohens' accounts on the condition that the president eliminates the "linguistic segregation" proposals proposed by Vox, such as allocating 20 million euros to a pilot election plan of language in the classrooms starting next year.
The Prohens budgets do not exist at the moment since in the committee votes entire sections of the accounts declined, which implies the fall of the overall budget, as the Parliament's lawyers have warned. The Prohens Government has until Tuesday to negotiate the Budgets with Vox because the vice president of the executive, Antoni Costa, has already announced that he will only negotiate with his partners on the extreme right.
The spokespersons for the opposition parties have warned of the strong political instability that exists in the community with the accounts up in the air and the possibility that Prohens will have to extend Francina Armengol's Budgets. Socialist spokesperson Iago Negueruela has denounced the Government's "inability" to approve the accounts. "Linguistic peace, our main hallmark, cannot be the subject of a market between the PP and its only partners, which would have disastrous consequences for the educational community and for society," he said.
Més' spokesman, Lluís Apesteguia, denounced that the parties are not willing "for the hatred, obsessions and desire to break coexistence and generate tension in the classrooms on the part of the extreme right to come forward." Josep Castells, spokesperson for Més per Menorca, denounced the "unusual situation" in which the Budgets currently find themselves and added that, in this scenario, the opposition wants to be "responsible" to avoid "instability and linguistic segregation in the classrooms".
For the spokesperson for Unidas Podemos, Cristina Gómez, she has questioned the PP until when it plans to continue buying "the ideological framework" of Vox and has recalled that the 'popular' have agreed to incorporate a PP amendment into the budgets to add 200,000 euros to the section of educational inspection to avoid alleged ideological interference in the classrooms.
Vox has increased the pressure on Prohens after the president lost the decisive vote that alone allowed her to add more deputies than the left. The Formentera deputy, Llorenç Córdoba, has announced that his vote for Prohens is no longer unconditional and has not revealed what he intends to vote on on Tuesday in the budget plenary session. Consequently, Vox's abstention is no longer enough for Prohens, but she now needs the affirmative vote.
