Mallorca scandal over politicians selling houses to foreigners

“If someone benefits from his political activity, obviously this should be totally rejected, just as if it benefits a third party. But if there has been no benefit, no.” Apesteguia regretted that he to has been criticised on social media because his mother had sold a house to a foreigner. Yet she had been at a demonstration against overcrowding. “I had nothing to do with the sale and I have made no profit of any kind,” he said.

“I don’t make it a rule to comment on the private lives of politicians," he said when asked about his party colleague. Alzamora defends limiting the sale of homes to non-residents of the Balearics. The buyers of his house, despite being foreigners, are residents, and do not rent it out for tourism, several sources have said.

Alzamora is building a swimming pool in his new home and that this apparently contradicts his party's stance. However, Més are calling for restrictions on rustic land. Alzamora's house is in the centre of a village.   

“Més talks about non-residents, I would never discriminate against anyone based on their nationality; that is what some parties do, which are supported by some media,” said Apesteguia, referring to hard right party Vox and the media that has written about Alzamora.
