MALLORCA TODAY - Iriondo stays at Mallorca Tourism Board

Pedro Iriondo, the president of the Fomento del Turismo (Mallorca Tourism Board), has received the support of his own board and will stay in his post. This despite the publicity surrounding comments he made last week about low-cost airlines and foreign workers. The board believes that the words of regional president Francesc Antich, who had called for Iriondo to be dismissed, were excessive, and it has also made it clear that it is a private body and therefore not subject to demands made by politicians.
