The lawyer for the two young women arrested for the graffiti on five real estate agencies in Santa Maria has accused the Civil Guard colonel, Alejandro Hernández, of "lying" about the development of the investigation after the statements he made this Tuesday.

The Palma City Council assures that it has "at no time disavowed" the Sopar a la Llesca, included in the Canamunt Festivals 2026 program because, two days before the event, it had not yet been decreed, and justifies the decision not to authorize the occupation of Plaça de Cort due to the high number of activities that this space has hosted this year.

The patron saint's festivals of Santa Maria del Camí have been marked by a succession of incidents that have generated strong concern in the municipality. The assaults reported during Friday's celebration against the PD Lluca duo and Santa Servera Màrtir, a second attack reported on Saturday against a person linked to the Antifascist Coordinator, and the appearance of neo-Nazi graffiti on two homes have opened a police investigation and provoked reactions from the Town Hall and various social groups.

If last week it seemed that part of public opinion had turned its back on the Menys Turisme, Més Vida platform after it published the manual encouraging direct action to protest against tourist overcrowding, the events of recent days have caused a plot twist.

Beyond the damage caused to the establishments, the Guardia Civil maintains that one of the affected buildings is cataloged as an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC), a circumstance that toughens the possible criminal consequences of the case.

The mayoress of Bunyola, Marian Serralta, has condemned the insults and any violent attitude that allegedly occurred against the councilor of Esquerra Oberta, Joan Luna, although she said she was not present in the square at the time of the events and therefore cannot confirm what happened.

The mayoress insisted that "violence and insults cannot be tolerated, by anyone towards anyone."

The Vox deputy in Congress, Jorge Campos, has continued with the controversy he generated after attacking a student with a hijab at the graduation ceremony of the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB).

The mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, defended this Monday the fine of 240 euros imposed by the Llotja-Born Neighbors Association for putting up posters against noise in the neighborhood, considering that it is a breach of the civic ordinance and that, "if an ordinance is breached, the City Council has the obligation to sanction". On this matter, the mayor said that the Consistory must act when municipal regulations are breached and rejected that the debate should focus on the fact that the sanction is against a neighborhood entity.

When the contract for the IV Trench Plan was awarded to the archaeology companies Atics and Aranzadi, it was their representatives, Cesc Busquets and Almudena García, respectively, who proposed to historian Jaume Claret that he coordinate the twenty or so reports that the Government had commissioned on the democratic memory destroyed by Francoism. Thus, Claret took on a giant challenge and began to select the most suitable researchers for each study, “some were already given, because they were the people who had already been working on them and in other cases it was my job to think about who could do it best,” he points out. “I began to coordinate their preparation and ensure that all the works maintained the same scientific and formal criteria,” he adds.

Bunyola will host the antifascist History and Memory Conferences on July 17 and 18, an initiative promoted by Sa Tafona that will combine sports, cultural, and historical dissemination activities, coinciding with the 90th anniversary of the military coup of 1936.
