MALLORCA TODAY - Mallorcan becomes new Spanish tourism secretary of state

A Mallorcan has, following much speculation that a politician from the island would be appointed, been made the secretary of state for tourism in the Spanish government, but it is not Miquel Ramis, as had been widely rumoured. Instead, it will be a woman - Isabel Borrego, one of the deputies from the Partido Popular who was voted into Parliament on 20 November. Borrego will be tourism secretary in the ministry for industry, energy and tourism, which is headed by the former president of the Canary Islands, José Manuel Soria.
