Virginia Mari Rennesson: A Tribute to a Dedicated Politician and Public Servant

2023-06-08 07:34:49

It is rare for a politician to arouse such benevolent and even appreciative comments, even because of the news of her death.. Virginia Mari Rennesson, who was mayor of the city of Eivissa for only 10 months, between August 2014 and June 2015, now receives the recognition she deserves. The daughter of the former president of the Consell d’Eivissa and Formentera between 1987 and 1999, Antoni Marí Calbetis the subject of well-deserved praise from across the political and social spectrum, something that rarely happens and that she has achieved.


Lack of health prevented her from fulfilling her obligations as a regional deputy and she had not been seen in Parliament for months, although I admit that I did not suspect that she was so ill as to leave this world so young, at only 60 years old. A surprise death is always more painful and more difficult to digest.

I remember Virginia, this unexpected and honest politician who never wanted to get rid of the image of a fishing inspector, roasting garter belt in Santa Eularia. Always working, always collaborating in volunteer tasks, always friendly and smiling. Assuming the responsibility that fate had in store for him at every moment, such as when he had to assume the mayoralty of Vila in very difficult circumstances for the PP and without any political aspirations. The third mayoress of the legislature 2011-2015.

Virginia Marí was an excellent public servant. First from her official position and later from politics. A woman of firm convictions, passionate about the sea and fishing, she always showed respect towards everyone, even those who harshly criticized her.

When I met her, she seemed to me to be a woman with few words and a bit rough in her dealings. I soon realized that this feeling was unfounded. And that, if she ever seemed distant, it was precisely because of her exquisite education and kindness. Virginia was a lady. We will miss her. What a pity she left so soon.

I send my condolences to his family, friends and colleagues from the Popular Party, where his death has caused great shock and deep sadness. At the cel it is!
