MALLORCA TODAY - Sa Pobla rejects defence of Catalan

In an extraordinary turnaround, the Partido Popular-led administration has rejected a motion in favour of the defence of Catalan and so contrary to the policies of the PP Balearic Government. On what seems to be a technicality, mayor Biel Serra, who had previously expressed his support of Catalan, argued that the motion was not valid. Opposition groups voiced their disgust and accused Serra of being a poodle of the government.
