Palma.—The Partido Popular’s parliamentary spokesperson in the Canary Islands, where gas and oil prospecting is also scheduled to go ahead, yesterday criticised the Balearic parliament for its unanimous decision to do everything possible to ban future oil and gas prospecting.
Maria Australia Navarro described the Balearic decision as “totally absurd.”
“What is wrong with finding out whether Spain does  have quality  gas and oil deposits and if so, how large the deposits are?
“We are talking about new sources of income and an industry which could create tens of thousands of new jobs which are things that Spain is in desperate need of right now.
