MALLORCA TODAY - Plan to reduce "plenos" in Pollensa attacked

Opposition groups at Pollensa town hall have criticised a plan by mayor Tomeu Cifre to reduce the number of "pleno" town hall meetings by a half. A reason for doing this lies with the logistics of the pleno which allows for spokespersons for different parties to have their say on matters raised. As there are so many parties now represented in Pollensa, it could all become unwieldy. However, it might be said to go against Cifre's intention for greater transparency.
