Antich demands a Special Regime for the Balearics

The president of the Govern de les Illes Balears, Francesc Antich, demanded on Thursday at a press conference that the Govern Central should apply the Special Regime to the Balearics, the law passed in 1998 to compensate the negative effects generated by the insularity.

According to Antich, the degree of fulfilment of the law has been zero and its application is fundamental to compensate the historic deficit that the Balearics suffer due to their insularity. The president stressed that the Balearic Government has projects to the value of 200.000 million pesetas that are pending the development of the Special Regime for the Balearics and the money to be supplied by the Madrid cabinet.
