MALLORCA TODAY - PP fault lines in Mallorca appear

Further to discussion on this blog as to divisions within the Partido Popular in Mallorca and the Balearics, the focus of dissent in the party, Antoni Pastor, the mayor of Manacor, has opened the debate up regarding the party's direction and attitude towards regionalism. He has criticised President Bauzá for adopting the ideas of Carlos Delgado, the tourism minister who is firmly anti-regionalist, and for going against a tradition of regionalism in the local party. It now looks as though Pastor may well run against Bauzá at the next party congress to decide the leader of the party.
