Gabriel Le Senne, "catholic and liberal" lawyer for Vox, proclaimed president of the Parliament of the Balearic Islands

A lawyer and economist who defines himself as “catholic and liberal” will be the president of the Balearic Parliament. At the age of 45, Gabriel Le Senne has been elected with 34 of the 59 votes of the Balearic Chamber in its first plenary session, the constituent session after the May 28 elections.

Le Senne has been boosted with the votes of PP (26 seats) and Vox (8), which ensure an absolute majority in the chamber.

The already president of the Parliament of the Balearic Islands is a lawyer and economist, specialized in commercial and civil law. He is also a liberal Catholic and columnist, until now legal deputy secretary of Vox Baleares. Active on social networks, after the Valencia pact he criticized the “tacticism of the PP”, saying that this “makes it unvotable”. In his personal newspaper library there are also messages against abortion, against the notion of gender or calling to block “advertisers with LGTBI flags”.

Thus, the first step is fulfilled to materialize the agreement between both right-wing formations so that the 'popular' Margalida Prohens is sworn in as president next week. The agreement, reached on Monday night, involves not only the transfer of the parliamentary presidency to Vox but also a written agreement that commits to comply with a package of political axes.

Prohens thus wants to ensure a solo government. For this, he seeks the abstention of Vox in the investiture plenary session that will be held next week.

Although officially no one in the PP anticipates that the government will be alone (not even Feijóo himself, who yesterday said that he was not one hundred percent insured), the reality is that the agreement reached with Vox and the transfer of the regional presidency paves the path for that government without Vox. Unlike Valencia, the PP does not want a coalition Executive in the Balearic Islands. The two concessions sealed between Monday and Tuesday thus strengthen it, in the absence of materializing in the coming days.

Despite the concessions, the PP has reserved a position of strength in Parliament. Thus, by virtue of the agreement signed with Vox, the formation of Prohens is left with two vice-presidencies of the Chamber.
