Alfonso Rodríguez has resigned from his position as the Spanish Government delegate in the Balearic Islands. He stated the decision was made to allow him to focus on his candidacy for the mayoralty of Calvià in the May 2027 elections.

His departure follows period of tension regarding his management of security forces. Rodríguez had previously faced criticism from members of the National Police and Civil Guard after publicly questioning police conduct during a July protest concerning tourism saturation. He had requested urgent reports to determine responsibilities for the police response, a move that caused friction with security agents.
