The president of the Balearics, Jose Ramon Bauza, made clear yesterday that a new government of the left would be “a pact of chaos” for the Balearic islands and he described as “worrying” that the common goal of the left appeared to simply be to remove the Partido Popular from government institutions.
“We don’t want to remove anyone from anywhere,” he said during a breakfast time interview on national television.
“But we do want to remove crisis and the scourge of unemployment.”
The possible inclusion of Podemos in a pact of the left was a concern, he added. It is a party which espouses “outdated policies that have not benefited anyone”.
Bauza attacked the Podemos leader, Pablo Iglesias, branding him “an extremist, a Leninist, a communist and a Bolivarian (a reference to the former president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez)”. As for Ciudadanos, with which the PP will probably need to pact in order to continue in government, Bauza observed that it is a party with which the PP is united on many issues.
