The Consell de Mallorca grants for the first time aid for the improvement of infrastructures and services of the mancomunidades of the island
Among the different interventions that will be financed with these subsidies are the acquisition of vehicles for the use related to the local entity, furniture, machinery necessary for the operation of the mancomunidad, computer applications or real estate, among others.
The president of the Consell de Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés, and the councillor for Economic Promotion and Local Development, Pilar Amate, presided over the signing of the agreement between the island institution and the mancomunidades of the island regarding the granting of these subsidies.
The event was attended by the presidents of the four associations of municipalities benefiting from the subsidies: the president of the Pla de Mallorca Association, Joana Maria Pascual; the president of the Raiguer Association, Joan Rotger; the president of the Migjorn Association, Rafel Adrover; and the president of the Serra de Tramuntana Association, Bernat Isern.
After signing the agreement, President Galmés explained that ‘the aim of this line of subsidies for associations of municipalities is to assist municipalities and, to achieve this, the Consell de Mallorca is giving them this financial support so that they can respond to the many needs they have to provide a better service’.
Llorenç Galmés announced that another call for municipalities will be published in 2026, ‘thus fulfilling our commitment to always be at the side of the municipalities’.
For her part, the councillor for Economic Promotion and Local Development, Pilar Amate, said that these subsidies ‘are essential’ for Mallorca’s local territorial entities ‘to have a greater capacity to act and to be able to continue offering global solutions to all the municipalities that make them up’.
