Representatives of Mallorca's primary sector have erupted against the island council this Monday. They have already held several meetings with representatives of the institution, but, as they lament, without results: hoteliers continue to fail to comply with the regulations that oblige them to purchase a percentage of local produce. A few minutes before meeting with the vice-president of the institution, Llorenç Galmés, the coordinator of Unió de Pagesos, Joan Gaià, and Toni Feliu, from Sa Casa Pagesa, have lashed out at the PP and Vox government. "The consumption of local produce, from January to here, has fallen by 30%", said Gaià: "If hoteliers lost 30% of their turnover, people would even come to work in the afternoons". Since it is the farmers who have lost it, he continued, "no one is doing anything".

MÉS per Palma has proposed this Monday to limit the price of commercial rents in the city's stressed areas to protect local businesses and curb the replacement of traditional businesses by franchises and establishments exclusively oriented towards tourism. The proposal has been presented at the former Donya Àngela haberdashery, one of Palma's historic businesses, which the party has symbolically turned into a real estate agency to denounce how speculation is transforming the city and expelling both residents and traditional businesses. According to MÉS, the problem is not a lack of customers, but the continuous increase in commercial rents. "Many businesses don't close because the business isn't working. They close because, when the contract ends, the new rent is simply unaffordable," explained MÉS per Palma candidate David Pujol.The group warns that this process is causing an homogenization of Palma's commercial landscape. Neighborhood businesses are disappearing and are being replaced by franchises, large chains, or establishments geared towards tourist consumption, which impoverishes the identity of the neighborhoods and reduces the services intended for the resident population. For this reason, MÉS proposes to promote specific regulation of commercial rents in the most tense areas, with the aim of avoiding disproportionate price increases, facilitating the continuity of local businesses and preserving the commercial diversity of the city. "When speculation enters through the door, neighborhood commerce leaves through the window," summarized Pujol.The spokesperson for MÉS per Palma, Neus Truyol, recalled that the disappearance of traditional commerce is a direct consequence of the same model that expels residents from neighborhoods. MÉS also recalled that the General Plan promoted during the last term incorporated tools to preserve the commercial balance of the neighborhoods and limit the concentration of tourist uses, but that the Popular Party abandoned that model.For the ecosovereignist party, protecting local trade is a city policy comparable to housing regulation. "If we regulate residential rents so that people can continue living in their neighborhoods, we must also protect the businesses that make daily life possible. Without local trade, neighborhoods lose their identity and cease to be neighborhoods," concluded Pujol.

The second vice-president of the Government, Antònia Estarellas, avoided commenting this Friday on the arrest of two activists from Santa Maria for having spray-painted a real estate agency. The Civil Guard handcuffed them in front of the cameras and accuses them of belonging to a criminal group. When asked if she considered the police action proportionate, Estarellas said she did not know "the details" and, in any case, the responsibility lies with the delegation of the Spanish government in the Balearic Islands. "It is up to the Spanish government to give its opinion," she said.

For more than ten years, administrations have known that the Ca na Putxa landfill was at the end of its useful life, but no alternative infrastructures have been built and finally the decision has been made for Mallorca to take on this waste.

Although the Consell d'Eivissa has renounced sending bulk waste to Mallorca after protests from residents and the GOB, this has not been made official in the agreement. With seven days to go before the transfer begins, the definitive document signed by the Pitiusa institution and the Consell de Mallorca has not been modified, but rather maintains and formalizes the option of transporting part of the waste in bulk. This possibility was introduced after the institution presided over by Llorenç Galmés agreed to lower the environmental requirements for the transfer, due to Ibiza's technical difficulties. Sources from the Consell d'Eivissa justify that, since it is a pilot test, the fine print of the contract can be modified according to the needs of each moment.
