Mallorca has been jokingly referred to as the 17th Federal State of Germany, due to the high number of German tourists. Attempts to build illegally caused a scandal in 2006 in Port Andratx that the newspaper "El País" named "caso Andratx". A main reason for illegal building permits, corruption and black market construction is that communities have few ways to finance themselves other than through permits. The former mayor was incarcerated in 2009 after being prosecuted for taking bribes to permit illegal house building. Data from Institute of Statistics of Balearic Islands  The Balearic Islands, of which Mallorca forms part, are one of the autonomous communities of Spain. As a whole, they are currently governed by the Balearic Islands Socialist Party (PSIB-PSOE), with Francina Armengol as their President. The autonomous government for the island, called Consell Insular de Mallorca (Mallorca Insular Council), is responsible for culture, roads, railways (see Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca) and municipal administration. The current president (as of June 2015) is Miquel Ensenyat, of More for Mallorca. The members of the Spanish Royal Family spend their summer holidays in Mallorca where the Marivent Palace is located. The Marivent Palace is the royal family's summer residence. While most royal residences are administered by Patrimonio Nacional, the Marivent Palace, in Palma de Mallorca, one of many Spanish royal sites, is under the care of the Government of the Balearic Islands. As a private residence it is rarely used for official business. Typically, the whole family meets there and on the Fortuna yacht, where they take part in sailing competitions. The Marivent Palace is used for some unofficial business, as when President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela visited King Juan Carlos in 2008 to mend their relationship and normalize diplomatic relations after the King famously said to him, "Why don't you shut up?" during the Ibero-American Summit in November 2007. Some of the earliest famous Mallorcans lived on the island before its reconquest from the Moors. Famous Mallorcans include:   A trackless train is in operation in several tourist areas. There are approximately 79 ferries between Mallorca and other destinations every week, most of them to mainland Spain.
