The Socialist Party of Majorca (Catalan: Partit Socialista de Mallorca, (PSM); IPA: [pərˈtit sosiəˈɫistə ðə məˈʎɔrcə]) is a political party in Majorca, Spain. The PSM defines itself as socialist, environmentalist, and Catalan nationalist, from a Majorcan point of view.
PSM emerged from a split in the Socialist Party of the Islands in December 1977. Unlike most of the other Spanish socialist parties, PSM refused to join the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE).
It advocates the self-determination and the freedom of the Balearic Islands, with social justice, to increase the identity and the self-government of the archipelago. It also calls for a closer relationship with the other Catalan Countries, now forbidden to be achieved in a confederation of three Spanish autonomous communities by the Spanish constitution(art.145). Therefore, its political ascription is a Majorcan political party, regionalist or progressive-stateless nationalist, environmental, socialist and democratic.
In 1989 it strengthened an alliance with other progressive and nationalist parties of Minorca and Ibiza, Partit Socialista de Menorca (Socialist Party of Minorca) and l'Entesa Nacionalista Ecologista de Eivissa (Environmental and Nacionalist Agreement of Ibiza), gathering together other local progressive and nationalist parties. The name of the alliance was PSM-Entesa Nacionalista (PSM-Nationalist Agreement). Its representation in the autonomous parliament was between 7% and 15% of the votes.
