Overview
- The Balearic Parliament voted 31–26 to scrap the 2018 regional Law of Memory and Democratic Recognition with support from the PP and Vox.
- Minister Ángel Víctor Torres said Madrid will open negotiations with the Balearic government and, absent agreement, will appeal to the Constitutional Court using the process that has led to precautionary suspensions in similar cases.
- The repeal fulfilled a PP–Vox accord tied to Vox’s backing of the 2025 budgets, preserving Marga Prohens’s governing majority.
- The PP argued regional measures were partisan and unnecessary under state memory law and the existing graves law, while left parties and memorial groups denounced the rollback and protested outside the chamber.
- The 2018 law had ordered the removal of Francoist symbols, restricted exaltation of the dictatorship, expanded access to repression archives, and advanced victim recognition, and the parliament’s president, Gabriel Le Senne (Vox), still faces a pending hate‑crime case with no trial date.
