Ibiza residents criticize the development on rural land: "It's a historic attack."
The group has lamented that the arrival of tourists and people who buy vacation homes on the island has led to the "aberration" of having to urbanize rural land.
PalmThe Prou Ibiza platform has considered that developing rural land, previously protected, "represents the greatest historical attack" against the island. In a statement, the group lamented that the arrival of tourists and people who buy vacation homes on the island has led to the "aberration" of having to develop rural land. They also assert that it has led to an increase in water and infrastructure consumption, among other things.
Prou reiterated that on the island "there are no more people and it is not minimally reasonable to increase the population, especially on rural land to accommodate excessive demand." "Every day that passes, the island becomes an uninhabitable area for the vast majority of the population, and especially for Ibizans, for whom this possibility will be totally harmful," the platform insisted.
They also lamented that Ibiza has become "a place where anyone can do whatever they want to make money, with exploitations that are either completely illegal or border on illegal, and no one can eradicate them," they insisted. The platform criticized the lack of any popular protest against the destruction, thus allowing the population to accept any change.
