The glosadas and the picado battles remain a living testament to the oral and festive traditions of the Balearic Islands.

The Balearic Cultural Association (OCB) has filed objections against the Regulations on Linguistic Uses of the Menorca Island Council and is demanding the revocation of its initial approval or, alternatively, the immediate suspension of its processing.

Among the main shortcomings, the OCB denounces the absence of mandatory reports from the Balearic Islands Legal Advisory Council and the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), as well as the need to obtain the opinion of the Social Council for the Catalan Language. The organization maintains that, in accordance with the Law of Island Councils, the Regulations should necessarily be submitted to the Legal Advisory Council for a report.

Errors have also been detected in the drop-down menus for origin and destination points, as well as in the drop-down menus for resident discounts, where incorrect forms such as [examples of Catalan and Catalan] appear. Deya by Deià, Mahón via Mahón, Estellenchs by Estellencs, Santa Eulalia del Río by Santa Eulalia del Río, and Palma de Mallorca by Palma, among others.
