Prohens demands a strong police presence given the risk of riots by Blocus in Palma

PalmaAfter the looting in Barcelona and the riots in Bilbao called by the Blocus group, a protest call appeared this Tuesday in Palma. It has the same signature and, although it presents itself as "peaceful", it warns: "We will loot shops if we are attacked", as reported by Diario de Mallorca. The news has set off alarms in the Government. In the control session at the Parliament, President Marga Prohens labeled the protest as "kale borroka" and demanded that the Spanish government's Delegation have police forces ready to act.

It is not yet known who is behind the movement, but experts have already identified that it is born on social media and moves to the streets. The communication is inspired by the student protests in France, which also used the name Blocus ('blockade' in French), and it is the same name that the organizers of the riots and looting in Barcelona used. Nevertheless, Prohens has already attributed the protest to "the far left". "I demand that the Spanish government delegate prepare all police forces to act with forcefulness at the slightest sign of violence in the streets," she said. "Be prepared to protect our people, the citizens of the Islands, let them carry out identifications, arrests, let the full weight of the law fall upon them, and if someone is an irregular immigrant, let them be sent back home that very same day," she declared.

Prohens responded this way after a parliamentary question from the Vox spokesperson, Manuela Cañadas. "A store is not their loot, a police officer is not their target, and Mallorca is not the stage to film their next act of savagery," Cañadas explained. "Whoever organizes attacks must be investigated, and if they are minors, their parents, and if they are foreigners, immediate deportation," she argued.
