Palma City Council asserts that it had carried out the necessary procedures to be able to purchase the Can Pesquet plot, in Son Sardina, but that in the end a private individual got ahead and acquired the property. The Council maintains that it could not "prevent" or "control" this operation and admits that it has not yet decided what steps to follow to try to resume the situation.

Dozens of people gathered this Sunday afternoon in front of Can Pesquet, on Passatemps street in Son Sardina, to demand, once again, that Cort acquire the plot and promote a public square and community center managed by the people. The protest, called by the Popular Assembly of Son Sardina and la Garriga, also served to demand that the mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, fulfill the commitment that, according to the organizers, he made a year ago to buy the space.

The residents of Son Sardina will take to the streets again on Sunday, September 6, to demand that the Can Pesquet plot be turned into a public space. The rally, called for 7 p.m. in front of the land, comes a year after the mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, announced that Cort had begun negotiations to acquire the 1,600-square-meter plot with the intention of building a neighborhood center, a library, and a square, as well as studying the possibility of a car park.

The platform No to the import of waste has demanded that the Consell de Mallorca review the calculation of the waste tariff and carry out independent audits in view of the "serious conclusions" of the financial control report. Faced with information about the publication of the island institution's financial control report, the platform, made up of 20 entities, has focused on the "stratospheric profits" obtained by the concessionaire company Tirme.

The residents of Son Sardina have exploded against the Palma City Council after the real estate company Solvia sold the Can Pesquet plot to a private individual, a space that the neighborhood has been claiming for years to turn it into a square and a community center. "We are facing an absolute display of contempt," they lamented. The popular assembly of Son Sardina and La Garriga assures that the mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, knows "how important this plot is" for the neighborhood and recalls that they have carried out mobilizations and various protest actions before different government teams to demand more public spaces. According to their complaints, this lack of space even makes it difficult to hold the neighborhood festivals each year. This Tuesday, the Palma council emphasized that they have been in talks with the current owner for months and that if an agreement is not reached, they will end up expropriating the property.

The Can Pesquet plot, in Son Sardina, has changed hands while the Palma City Council tries to make effective the promise of the mayor, Jaime Martínez, to turn it into a public space. One year after the mayor announced that Cort had initiated the process to acquire the 1,600 square meters to build a neighborhood center, a library, a square, and study a parking lot, the plot remains private. Now the Consistory assures that it is negotiating with the new owner and that, if there is no agreement, it will resort to expropriation.

The Son Sardina Neighbors Association has reported that the Palma City Council has requested them to return the key to the neighborhood's community center, which they currently manage, within 15 days. They consider this decision a new episode of institutional “persecution” against the space and the neighborhood's associative fabric.

The community organizations of Son Sardina have called for another day of protest this Saturday, March 28th, in Can Banya Square to demand the creation of a public square and community center, managed by the people, on the site known as Can Pesquet. This initiative is part of the campaign "Public Square and Community Center in Can Pesquet, Managed by the People," launched this month by the Son Sardina and La Garriga People's Assembly and the Son Sardina Residents' Association, with the support of other local organizations. This latest mobilization continues a long-standing demand from the neighborhood, which has been calling for public spaces for community gatherings and organizing for years. According to the organizers, the lack of facilities particularly hinders the activities of groups that promote local culture, the festive calendar, and the defense of social and labor interests.

The residents of Son Sardina have made an unusual decision and will celebrate New Year's Eve on December 27th this year to avoid the 2:00 AM curfew in Palma – provided they have the two special permits granted by the Palma City Council. This decision comes after the Local Police arrived last year minutes before 2:00 AM, "without any complaint from any resident," explain the neighborhood's residents. The officers demanded the party stop under threat of fines. Therefore, this year the neighborhood has opted for an afternoon party that will last until the permitted time. On New Year's Eve, family gatherings make it very difficult to arrive at the celebration before 1:00 AM. That's why a celebration ending at 2:00 AM is unfeasible.

The People's Party (PP) registered a proposed law on Wednesday to amend the Child Protection Law with the aim of preventing cases like that of Miquel Roldán, the teacher convicted in Son Sardina, from happening again. As explained by PP spokesperson Sebastià Sagreras, the law seeks to prevent those convicted of child abuse from working as teachers or holding any profession that involves contact with children and young people. "A loophole in the national law has led to incidents in the Balearic Islands like the one in Son Sardina," he explained, emphasizing the need to protect children.

The GOB (Basque Government) and the Son Sardina residents' association have expressed their firm rejection of the importation of waste from Ibiza to Mallorca, on the same day that this measure is expected to be approved in Parliament through the decree of measures to accelerate strategic projects.

Families at the MA Salvá Primary School in Palma continue their mobilization with a strike now in its fourth consecutive day. They are demanding immediate precautionary measures from the Ministry of Education and the government to ensure that no teacher at the school works or has any contact with the children.

The families of the Son Sardina school have unanimously decided to continue not sending their children to class, despite the measures announced by the Ministry of Education. The parents consider that the fact that Miquel Roldán only performs support work and is always accompanied by a tutor is "insufficient" and does not guarantee the safety of the children.

The Ministry of Education's response to the controversy at Son Sardina over the presence of Miquel Roldán has been to send a new teacher to take over the sixth grade tutoring role and assign Roldán support duties for the third cycle (fifth and sixth grades), always accompanied by the respective tutors for that year.

The families of the CEIP Maria Antònia Salvá in Son Sardina have issued a statement expressing their "absolute rejection" of the teacher's incorporation. Miquel Roldánat the school. It's worth remembering that the primary school teacher was convicted of child abuse. Specifically, the court sentenced him to one year in prison, but did not disqualify him, a situation that the Regional Ministry confirmed when it dismissed him from teaching, although he is on a temporary basis.

The Mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, has assured that the City Council will protect the transition areas surrounding Son Sardina and that no housing will be built.

Palma City Council has forgotten its promise to acquire the Can Pesquet site, which has been in the hands of a vulture fund for years, to convert it into a square and a recreational center, according to residents of Son Sardina. In fact, a banner for the real estate company Solvia, part of Banc Sabadell, is now installed on this site. They point out that this fact increases "the discrediting of the policies, both by action and inaction, of the current City Council."

Dozens of people gathered this morning outside Palma City Hall to express their rejection of the Land Acquisition Law approved by the Parliament. Under the slogan "Whoever loves Mallorca, does not destroy it," dozens of residents of Palma neighborhoods, such as Son Sardina, have demanded that the Court not implement the possibility of building on rural land without exhausting the developable land.

Thus, they will take advantage of the organization and mobilization of Palma's neighborhoods in relation to the Land Liberalization Law to coordinate informational, legal, and social mobilization actions in view of the fall. Approximately 70% of this waste is rejected, which is sent to the Ca na Putxa landfill in the municipality of Santa Eulàlia. He explained that the Ca na Putxa landfill is nearing the end of its useful life and, given the lack of foresight from the Ibiza Island Council, the "emergency solution" is now being considered: transferring the rejected waste to Mallorca for incineration in Son Reus. He also points out that Ibiza does not have a master plan for the sector, given that only approximately 30% (paper and cardboard, packaging, and organic matter) arrives.

The platform "Mallorca for Living, Not for Speculation" held a banner workshop in Son Sardina and Secar de la Real to hang on facades and other locations in the neighborhood to express rejection of Palma's Land Acquisition Law. The banners, placed this Thursday by neighborhood residents, read "PP and Vox, speculators. Whoever loves Son Sardina doesn't destroy it," "More Secar - cement," "Land is not for sale," and others.
