Department of Economic Promotion and Local Development
Councillor Amate chaired the establishment of this advisory and support body for municipalities.
The Department of Economic Promotion and Local Development of the Consell de Mallorca established the Sectoral Commission for Municipal Assistance this Tuesday. The aim of this body is to gather proposals and suggestions from municipalities in order to optimise and streamline the support services provided in all related areas.
Pilar Amate, the Councillor for Economic Promotion and Local Development, is the president of this new technical advisory and multilateral working body. As she explained, “it will serve to debate and propose lines of action in order to offer municipalities, as far as possible, a service that truly fits their needs.”
Amate stated that this initiative is about “ensuring effective coordination between the Department and the municipalities through cooperation and collaboration, thus fulfilling our legislative commitment to advance municipalism by standing by the municipalities and providing them with proper municipal coverage.”

The Consell de Mallorca Holds First Meeting of the Sectoral Commission for Municipal Assistance
Participating in the Sectoral Commission for Municipal Assistance are the mayors of Algaida, Campanet, Escorca, Marratxí, Santa Eugènia, Selva, and Sencelles, who represent the other local entities on the island. Beatriz Camiña, the Island Director of Municipal Assistance, has been appointed secretary of the Commission.
It is worth noting that this initiative stems from the latest Assembly of Mayors, held on April 29, during which the creation of a Sectoral Commission was agreed upon. This commission will allow municipalities to submit specific proposals regarding the management of the Municipal Assistance Service (SAT), which provides legal, technical, administrative, economic, and training support to town councils and will complement the restructuring of the Department.
