The lawyers of the Balearic Parliament thwart the rebellion of five Vox deputies

A frustrated rebellion, at least for the moment.

The lawyers of the Balearic Parliament have stopped the expulsion of the Vox parliamentary group of the president of the Chamber, Gabriel Le Senne, and the president of the party, Patricia de las Heras, because they conclude that it was not processed through the appropriate channels.

On January 29, five of the seven deputies of the ultra party expelled Le Senne and De las Heras from the parliamentary group, causing an internal earthquake in Santiago Abascal's party, which hours later announced the precautionary suspension of militancy of these five rebellious deputies. .

The five rebel parliamentarians, who have been in conflict with the national leadership of the party for months, expelled their two colleagues, who are in tune with the leadership in Madrid, with the aim of taking control of the parliamentary group and the presidency of the Chamber. , putting in check the autonomous Government chaired by the popular Marga Prohens, whose majority depends on the seven deputies elected on the Vox list on May 28.

The expelled Le Senne tried to buy time by commissioning a legal report on his progress as president of the Chamber, something that most political groups took for granted given that the Parliament's regulations contemplate that deputies who stop belonging to their parliamentary group lose the right to occupy the place they had until that moment in the different bodies of Parliament.

However, the lawyers' legal report concludes that the expulsion of both parliamentarians presents a defect that cannot be corrected.

“The documentation provided by the five parliamentarians of the Vox group presents a formal deficiency such as the lack of accreditation of a call for a meeting of the parliamentary group with an item on the agenda specifically referring to said expulsions,” maintains the report, which considers that the formal deficiency presents “a non-remediable character.”

After learning of the report, Le Senne has shown his desire to restore the situation in the parliamentary group: “I hope there is peace, I have no grudge against anyone.”

With this report, the Parliament Board has rejected the expulsion of Le Senne and De las Heras, who will continue to belong to the Vox parliamentary group, which forces the five rebel deputies to call a new meeting, this time with an agenda, if they want to expel their two colleagues again and get Le Senne to abandon the presidency of the Chamber.

The five rebel deputies have lost their hand, for the moment, after the order launched last Monday, since yesterday the national leadership of the party ratified their precautionary suspension of militancy, pending the completion of the processing of their file.

This morning, in an appearance without questions, the spokesperson for the rebels, Idoia Ribas, said that she will study the lawyers' reports, but she has not clarified whether they will expel her two companions again.

Ribas has insisted that she will bring the report “to the attention” of her colleagues, but she has advanced that she cannot yet make a decision on the next steps.

The president of the autonomous government, Marga Prohens, has stated after hearing the resolution of the report that she "respects" the opinion of the lawyers and has insisted that Le Senne is currently the president of the Chamber, which is why she has refused to make any future speculations about the actions that the five rebel deputies can carry out.

The opposition has charged against the president, whom they accuse of hatching a plot with the five rebels.

“Prohens' plot with the turncoats has failed.

Someone thought that the presidency of Parliament could be agreed upon with five turncoats.

The PP and Prohens had planned this operation that has completely collapsed,” said the parliamentary spokesperson for the PSIB-PSOE, Iago Negueruela.

The PP holds the majority in the Balearic Islands with its 25 deputies and the seven from Vox, but the rupture within the extreme right led it to lean towards the support of the five turncoats or that of the two expelled deputies, who would not allow it to maintain the most.

Now governance will depend on the next steps of the five wayward Vox deputies, who remain provisionally suspended from militancy pending the completion of their expulsion file from the party.
