Any given Monday, in a classroom of any Primary school, in any town in Mallorca, any officers from one of the State's security forces and bodies, teach the children the benefits of their work. Some bring dogs so they can pet them, others will explain to them that their mission is to protect them.

There is an atmosphere of unease within the Popular Party ranks. Social discontent over mass tourism has put the party on alert. The Government has struggled this summer to avoid being the target of criticism: it distributed posters attributing 115,000 tourist places to the left and blamed the Spanish executive for the police charges at the Palma demonstration. But in recent weeks, another front has opened up: protests are increasingly present in the daily lives of municipalities. The mayors are the ones who receive complaints firsthand, focused on transport problems and the lack of housing. The Executive claims containment measures, but is aware that these problems have not been resolved.

The Minister of Tourism, Jaume Bauzà, referred this Wednesday to the complaint from GOB and Terraferida, who requested a meeting with the President of the Government, Marga Prohens, on July 27 and have not yet received any response. "Agendas are complicated," he pointed out at an event at the Can Sales library, in addition to stating that the entities will be attended to at some point, as reported by Europa Press.

Thursday's plenary session of Palma City Council (Cort) was dominated by citizen protests. All of them pointed to the mayor, in one way or another, as one of the culprits for their problems. "Mayor, we must talk"; "Martínez, you con artist"; "Mayor, resign," were some of the slogans heard in front of the Palma City Hall, which was protected by the Local Police. According to sources at Cort speaking to ARA Baleares, the security officers, who were controlling who entered the building, had to wear earplugs to endure the noise of the whistles and sirens of the local police officers demanding a planning scheme, which continued from approximately 10:00 AM until 1:00 PM. The noise from outside was also noticeable inside the plenary hall. The governing team was aware of the public participation in the plenary session and limited attendance to 85 people, including the councilors; they even removed some of the benches that had been used in previous sessions. Before entering the plenary hall, there was a security guard at the door with a counter in his hand. This initiative by the municipal government has provoked complaints from the opposition. Podemos Palma has accused the Cort government of "prohibiting" access to social organizations and groups that intended to participate in the plenary session. According to a statement released by the party, the capacity restriction "is a conscious political decision whose objective is to silence the voice of organized citizens and limit the presence of groups critical of municipal policies."

More than 300 people demonstrated outside the Parliament as part of a mobilization called by the Mallorca Government and the Federation of Neighborhood Associations of Palma, among other groups, against the harm they believe results from the land acquisition law in Palma. The protest coincided with the extraordinary plenary session in which the law is to be approved. "Marga Prohens, speculator," "PP and Vox, government of developers," and "She's not a government, she's a developer" were some of the slogans shouted amid whistles and middle fingers in the air, a sign of disagreement with the regulations. Green T-shirts supporting the islands' native language were also worn at the demonstration.
