[9][10][1] After the beginning of negotiations between different political groups present in the Balearic Islands to create representative organ that could pave the way of the autonomic project,[11] an Autonomic Pact was signed on 4 June 1977.[12][2] The agreement included the creation of an unofficial body formed by the people that would be elected to represent the Balearic Islands in the Congress of Deputies and Senate after the Spanish general election on 15 June. Therefore, on 30 July, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Balearic Islands (Catalan: Assemblea de Parlamentaris de les Illes Balears) was formed by the six deputies elected in the constituency and the total of five senators elected by the different islands.[13][14] The Mallorcan senator for Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD) Jeroni Albertí was elected its president.[15]

In parallel, the elected senator for Menorca, Guillem d'Olives Pons (UCD), gathered the legalised parties of the island to create an Menorcan unofficial representative body, that would go on existing until the formation of the Island Council in 1979. Hence, after the signing of the Pact of El Toro on 10 July 1977,[16][17][18] the Autonomous Assembly of Menorca was formed on 18 July, composed by six parties: UCD, Balearic Socialist Federation (PSOE), Socialist Unity (US)—which included the Socialist Movement of Menorca (MSM), the predecessor of the Socialist Party of Menorca (PSM)—, People's Alliance (AP), Democratic Union of the Balearic Islands (UDIB)—a merging of Democratic Left (ID) and Democratic People's Federation (FPD)[19]—and Party of Labour of Spain (PTE). A total of 29 members were appointed in the Assembly, according to the results of the previous general election—12 UCD, 5 PSOE, 4 US, 4 AP, 1 UDIB and 1 PTE—, and the senator d'Olives chaired it.[20] The main objective of the Menorcan Assembly was to foster the preliminary project of autonomy for the Balearic Islands.[21]
By the end of 1977, the Parliamentary Assembly agreed on a preliminary project of the pre-autonomic regime,[22] including a draft of the future governing body, initially named Great and General Council,[23] name taken from the representative organ of the Kingdom of Mallorca from 1249 to 1713. On 12 December, the Parliamentary Assembly approved a proposal for the Law Decree text.[24]
In 1978, several discussions about the representativity of the minor islands rised reluctances from Menorca and Ibiza, which asked for more weight in the autonomic parliament.[25] Finally, on 6 March, the Parliamentary Assembly agreed on the composition of the future Council,[26] and on 17 April the final pre-autonomic regime proposal was approved.[27][28][29] On 2 June, this proposal received the approval of the council of ministers,[30][31] before being published in the Official Gazette on 30 June.[32] On 21 July, the law for the local elections that were to be held in April of the following year was published in the Official Gazzette, including the number of members representing each of the three independent Island Councils that were to form the new council, finally named Inter-island General Council (Catalan: Consell General Interinsular, CGI).[33]
Parliamentary Assembly of the Balearic Islands dissolution
CGI initial formation. There had to be at least three representatives from each island, but Menorca and Ibiza–Formentera initially had only their respective senator, as all the Deputies were from Mallorca. Therefore four additional members were appointed, two for Menorca and two for Ibiza–Formentera.
Jeroni Albertí (UCD) elected president of the CGI
Inter-island General Council (24 July 1978 – 4 May 1979)
On 3 April, local elections were held to the City Councils and the Island Councils. In the Balearic Islands, the UCD won the elections in the City Councils of Palma, Maó and Ciutadella, although a post-electoral pact allowed the PSOE to control the Mallorcan capital. The Democratic Coalition (CD)—an alliance led by the AP in Mallorca and Menorca—presented independent candidacies in the islands of Ibiza and Formentera, having a remarkable result and gaining the mayor of the main city.[3]
