“My mother, who died a few years ago, was able to see the tributes that were made to my grandfather and hear all the stories, from home, from the neighbours… She even got to inaugurate a square in Inca that bears her father's name. The family is very satisfied even though they haven't found the body”. These are the words of the president of Memòria de Mallorca, Maria Antònia Oliver, granddaughter of Andreu París Martorell from Inca, who was imprisoned in Can Mir (Palma) in 1936 and disappeared the following year.

The National Police has dismantled in Palma a network accused of laundering about 10 million euros from an international cryptocurrency macro-scam, in an operation in which five people have been arrested and assets in Spain and Sweden valued at about 15 million have been seized.

Last March, the Ministry of the Water Cycle and the Sea signed the authorization to carry out the demolition of Pedro J. Ramírez's pool in Costa de los Pinos, after a long legal battle since 2004. The case was well known by its owner (now Agatha Ruiz de la Prada), but in the Balearic Islands there are dozens of other pools in public maritime-terrestrial domain. And not only that: hotels, restaurants, and –of course– villas have also been built, some directly on the beach. All these uses are prohibited because the public domain is a strip that occupies the first meters of the coast and extends as far as a beach, dune system, or wetland reaches. Some of these constructions obtained temporary concessions in the past, but most have already expired. In total, it is estimated that there are more than 2,000 irregular constructions, many of which with demolition orders. The lack of resources from the State Coastal Demarcation has allowed cement to illegally occupy the front line for decades. One of the most striking cases is that of Bungalow, in Palma, a restaurant that has never even had a concession and continues to operate despite demolition orders.

The pact, reached this Friday, incorporates a new bonus linked to driving emergency vehicles, with the aim of recognizing the special conditions and risk associated with this function. Additionally, a special dedication bonus is added, intended to reflect the sustained increase in workload in recent years.On the other hand, the City Council has committed to studying the inclusion of weekends and holidays within the specific bonus. Overall, the City Council estimates that the implementation of the plan will have an impact of 10 million euros and could mean increases of more than 2,500 euros gross per month in bonuses.The agreement comes after the force's latest demonstration, in which a hundred officers walked the streets of the city while Cort maintained that there was a "firm proposal". Over the last four months, the unions had intensified protests against the mayor, Jaime Martínez, for failing to meet the commitment to approve the plan by January 1st.Tension reached a peak with internal changes in the City Council, when Llorenç Bauzà took over Public Function, replacing Mercedes Celeste, and the direction of the Local Police. After an initial meeting with Bauzà, now as the highest responsible for the areas involved in developing the plan, the unions considered that the change of personnel had been futile. "The plan remains blocked," they declared.the unions considered that the change of personnel had been futile. "The plan remains blocked," they declared.

These are times of emergency, when finding housing that we can afford is more difficult than ever, almost impossible. It's not just about having a roof over our heads to sleep under: housing has a dimension that goes much further, that is part of people's emotional experiences. There are houses that are homes, places of happiness, welcome, and refuge. Others are simply passing places, with a limited imprint on the personal stories of those who have spent time within those four walls. This is precisely what the project Homes explores, by the collective La forma dels somnis (formed by people from the Degree in Catalan Language and Literature at the UIB, the Mental Health area of the Hospital Comarcal d’Inca, and the association La Nostra Veu).
