Juan Manuel Lafuente Takes the Plunge on ‘Passion for the Sea’

The Balearic Islands are an autonomous community surrounded by water, which is why it was necessary to have a public entity that would encompass all issues related to the sea. In its roadmap and electoral program, the Popular Party announced that if it came to power, it would create the first Ministry of the Sea and Water Cycle of the Balearics, an electoral promise that was fulfilled in the first 100 days of its mandate.

Today, we will get to know a little better the person who is at the helm of this newly created entity here in the Balearics, the Minister of the Sea and Water Cycle, Juan Manuel Lafuente.
