Formentera Council president Jaume Ferrer summoned spokespeople of the political parties represented in the Formentera Council – Grup Independent de Formentera (GUIF), el Partido Socialista (PSOE), el Partido Popular (PP) and Gent per Formentera (GxF) – to come together next Monday morning, 23 February, at half past ten, for a meeting in the plenary hall of the council.
The encounter was convened with the goal of defining and outlining steps in the creation of a draft bill – to be brought before the Parlament Balear – concerning granting the Formentera Council with the legal rights to impose a tax on vehicle entry onto the island.
Let readers be reminded that such a tax was the solution chosen by the Consell d'Entitats ('council of entities') on 23 January in light of the fact that, oftentimes, the affluence of vehicles on Formentera results in residents and visitors alike feeling quite removed from the tranquil, ecological and family-friendly atmosphere that normally defines the island. Such an ambience, present throughout the rest of the year, constitutes not only Formentera's main attractive quality but also our primary source of economic wealth.
