Juan Antonio Torres Mata to Replace Ana Ferrer as Ibiza Town Councillor

11 November 2026

Juan Antonio Torres Mata has been selected to replace Ana Ferrer Prohías as a councillor on Ibiza Town Council, with his formal appointment scheduled for the ordinary plenary meeting on 26 November 2026.

The announcement was reported on Wednesday, 11 November, following confirmation from the municipal authorities. Torres will join the council as a representative of the Partido Popular (PP), replacing Ferrer, who resigned from her position in October.

Born in Ibiza in 1986, Torres Mata has a background in social education, emergency services and sport. He was number 21 on the electoral list led by current mayor Rafael Triguero in the May 2023 municipal elections.

Who Is Juan Antonio Torres Mata?

Torres holds a degree in Social Education from the National University of Distance Education (UNED). He also has a University Expert qualification in Mediterranean Migration from the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB).

His professional experience includes work in the coordination of emergency and rescue services, as well as the organisation and coordination of sporting activities.

He has also been involved in coordinating municipal futsal schools and team-based activities. In addition to his professional background, Torres is known in local sport as the goalkeeper for Gasifred Atlético.

No Special Dedication Arrangement

According to the statement from Ibiza Town Council, Torres will take up the councillor position without special dedication.

This means he will receive the corresponding attendance-based compensation for participating in meetings of the municipality's collegiate governing bodies, rather than a fixed remuneration arrangement associated with a special dedication position.

He is due to formally take office during the ordinary plenary session scheduled for 26 November.

Ana Ferrer's Resignation

Torres will replace Ana Ferrer Prohías, who resigned from her position as a councillor in early October.

Her departure followed the arrest of her husband in September during a police operation targeting an alleged criminal organisation suspected of laundering money obtained through drug trafficking.

The investigation concerned alleged links between drug trafficking and the laundering of proceeds through property and luxury real estate. Ferrer's resignation was announced by the Partido Popular in October and subsequently entered the municipal replacement process.

The allegations relate to the criminal investigation involving her husband. Ferrer has not been reported as charged in the case.

A New Member of Ibiza's Municipal Corporation

Torres's arrival will fill the vacant council seat left by Ferrer and give the Partido Popular its replacement representative in the municipal corporation.

His formal incorporation is expected at the 26 November plenary meeting, after which he will begin his work as a councillor for the municipality of Ibiza.
