Palma shops are boarding up their storefronts due to fears that the Blocus protest may end in destruction in the city center. Wooden panels to protect windows, businesses considering closing early, and an employers' association recommending shutting down from 6:00 PM describe the scenario ahead of this Friday's demonstration, called for 7:30 PM at Plaça d'Espanya.

The "peaceful" protest of the Blocus movement called for this Friday in Palma has raised alarms among the city's merchants, who view what might happen with worry and fear. So much so that Afedeco, as its manager, Antonio Vilella, explained to this newspaper, have recommended that members "close around 6:30 PM to avoid being open during the demonstration" and that they ask their insurance companies "what they cover and if they would repair the shop windows if they are broken during the night and the products that might be stolen".

The Flama collective and the people from the encampment for the right to housing in Palma have frontally rejected the Palma City Council's use of the cases of sexism reported within the space to politically justify the eviction of the Plaça d'Espanya.

Approximately 400 people have demanded this Tuesday the resignation of the Spanish government delegate, Alfonso Rodríguez, and of the police officials for the charges by the National Police against participants of the anti-saturation demonstration on July 26. The protest took place in front of the state government delegation, which the Police had secured by land and air: four National Police vans, a dozen officers and civil guards at the door monitored the demonstrators, in addition to the images captured by a helicopter and a drone that flew over the area during the two hours that the protest lasted, peaceful and civic at all times.

Demonstrations are not only held in the street. They also contend with the aftermath, when a media and political narrative is imposed about what happened. And, after the police charges of 26-J, the narrative of tourist saturation has been sidelined in the media by another debate much more comfortable for Marga Prohens' Government. It is important not to lose focus, because the president is one of the main people responsible for responding to the problems that the tourism model generates in the daily lives of the citizens of the Balearic Islands. The day after one of the most massive protests ever seen in the Islands, Prohens has not felt the need to face the situation, nor to give explanations about the lack of management, nor to confront her unfulfilled promises. The president has spoken about the charges, has demanded explanations from the Spanish government delegate, Alfonso Rodríguez, and has remarked that she respects the right to demonstrate, as if that were not a given.
