      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/eaaf3501-9fe6-44ad-81b5-2f079c534d6c_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>The citizen platform 'Mallorca to live, not to speculate' has started a collection of signatures to demand that Palma City Council <a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/society/palma-accuses-the-pp-and-vox-of-leading-the-city-to-urban-collapse_1_5442980.html" target="_blank">oppose the application of the Land Acquisition Act</a> in the municipality, approved by the PP and Vox, and prevent "the door from opening to excessive macro-urbanization" of the city. According to the entity in a statement reported by Efe, this new legislation, processed under the declaration of residential emergency, will allow a massive increase in building capacity on rural land, without sufficient planning in terms of public services, such as health centers, transportation, schools and green areas. The platform also criticizes the fact that more power is given to developers for urban development and even that <a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/politics/the-new-land-law-allows-construction-of-an-apartment-building-to-begin-without-waiting-for-municipal-permit_1_5439973.html" target="_blank">Projects can be approved by administrative silence</a>The platform's proponents are urging municipal representatives to use the powers provided by the same law to prevent its application in Palma.</p>]]></description>
