The Government sees no reason to denounce the manifesto for direct action against tourism

PalmaThe Government has asked the promoters of the manual disseminated by the platform Menys Turisme, Més Vida this Friday to rectify to prevent any incident related to the sabotage actions proposed by the document against businesses linked to tourism. For now, it sees no reason to report this manifesto to justice, as no incident has been registered.

The vice-president and minister of Economy, Finance and Innovation, Antoni Costa, said that the position of the autonomous Executive is that "the people and organizations that have prepared this manual rectify and no regrettable events occur".

Costa has called for "prudence" and "responsibility" and has insisted on the need to preserve coexistence in the Islands. "We call again for calm and the preservation of coexistence," he pointed out at a press conference.

Likewise, he expressed the Government's wish that "no reprehensible or deniable act" occur in relation to the actions included in the document.

The vice president has reiterated the position maintained by the Balearic Executive since the content of the manual became known and recalled that the Government maintains "the maximum respect always for any peaceful demonstration", such as the one called for July 26, but rejects "absolutely" any incitement to violence and to the attack on shops and businesses in the Islands.

Limit of tourist pressure

Costa has assured that the Executive shares the diagnosis that the Balearic Islands have reached the limit of tourist pressure, although he has underlined that this situation cannot justify actions against companies and establishments.

The minister also valued the institutional and social response generated after the dissemination of the manual and highlighted the unanimous rejection it has generated.

In this regard, he expressly thanked "the forceful response" from the government delegation and the State Secretariat, as well as the call for non-violence made by trade unions and numerous social and business entities.
