Briefing
Se Acabó la Fiesta (SALF) began collecting supporting signatures on Ibiza on 10 October 2026. According to the party and consistent reports in regional media, the campaign aims to gather the signatures required to submit lists for the general election scheduled nationwide for 29 November 2026 . The initiative comes amid ongoing investigations into the party leader Alvise Pérez, for which Spain’s Supreme Court ordered extensive checks of the party’s finances in summer 2026; these proceedings concern the party nationwide, not only the Balearic Islands.
In Spain, independent lists and new parties must submit a specified number of valid supporting signatures to qualify formally; the relevant Junta Electoralis responsible for checking them and making a decision. Whether SALF will actually appear on the ballot in the Balearic Islands constituency on 29 November 2026 depends on submitting the signatures on time, their validation and compliance with all formal requirements. The party said it wanted to “stand from the archipelago” and, according to journalists, began the campaign in Ibiza.
Regional parties reacted cautiously: representatives of other groups noted that the approval of lists is a purely technical decision for the electoral authority and cannot be judged politically in advance. Political science observers pointed out that new, smaller parties standing in the Balearic Islands constituency could affect the distribution of votes and, indirectly, the allocation of seats in the Congreso de los Diputados; the specific impact, however, cannot be assessed until the officially approved lists are announced.
The signature drive in the Balearic Islands is therefore a necessary step towards possible participation in the election. Key decisions will be made in the coming weeks, when the Junta Electoral reviews the submitted documents and decides which lists are finally approved.
