The spokesperson for the far-right Vox parliamentary group, Manuela Cañadas, has warned of the ‘chaos’ caused by traffic jams on the roads of the Balearics, especially on the access roads to Palma. She made this statement on Wednesday at a press conference prior to the Spokespersons’ Committee meeting, during which she said she regretted that the president of the regional government, Marga Prohens, did not give her a specific answer in parliament when she asked about the need to invest in infrastructure.

Whilst I agree that we need a huge investment in infrastructure (rail, park and ride, as well as roads) I travel in/out of Palma 5 days a week during rush hours and It gets much worse from Easter onwards - all the normal winter traffic plus extra taxis, bus trips and rental cars. It's simple arithmetic...
From the pictures the MFB shows of the Cintura Traffic. Every day, throughout the Winter and Summer it is saturated with cars. There are too many vehicles on this small Island. It is a daily nightmare , in and around Palmas feed roads.
Vox are part of the coalition government so what are they going to do about it, apart from blame everyone else?
Anyone who drives through that congestion into or around Palma, Am or PM, can tell you this is not due to tourists.
At last someone talks some sense regarding the island's traffic congestion. Let's hope it gets listened to and acted upon...
