Llorenç Galmés

Llorenç Galmés is the current president of the Consell de Mallorca, the governing body of the island of Mallorca. He is newsworthy due to recent actions and decisions made by the Consell under his leadership. Specifically, the Consell has reached an agreement with Airbnb to remove over 8,000 illegal tourist rental listings, representing a significant number of tourist accommodations on the island. This initiative aims to combat illegal tourism offerings. Additionally, a plan to implement nine million euros in anti-crisis aid exclusively for Spanish citizens has been halted due to potential legal issues. This decision, made by the Consell, which is governed by the PP and Vox parties, has drawn attention due to the controversial nature of the proposed aid program and the reasons for its suspension. These events highlight Galmés' role in addressing key issues facing Mallorca, including tourism regulation and economic policy.
