After the crisis in Mallorca's dairy sector and the closure of Agama, there have been many doubts and administrative procedures to ensure that the island's producing farms could sell the thousands of liters of milk they had been supplying to the Barcelona-based Damm group company.

A fire declared around 5:00 PM this Thursday at the back of Manacor Hospital set off alarms and the building's safety protocols, forcing a rapid and sudden evacuation of several areas of the center.

All were transferred to the UCSI area (Outpatient Surgery Unit). Another 9 psychiatry patients were transferred to an interior patio while the fire was being extinguished and its possible causes were being investigated. They are now back in their unit.

A fire declared around 5:00 PM this Thursday at the rear of Manacor Hospital, set off alarms and the building's safety protocols, forcing the rapid and sudden evacuation of several areas of the center. Initially, it was reported that the fire could have originated in a room with flammable material, although minutes later and after the intervention of the Mallorca Firefighters, it was confirmed that it began after a spark from a worker who was handling a hot water boiler with a radial saw, which appears to have been the cause of the subsequent fire.

And it is that although the space, redeveloped between 1953 and 1957 after an initial use during the plague, has been in a state of evident degradation for years due to the passage of time and lack of maintenance, it has not been until recent weeks that the Consistory has decided to get down to business.

A comprehensive and million-dollar renovation.

The world of trotting in Mallorca experienced, during the decade of the seventies, one of the periods of greatest expansion, intensity, and splendor in its recent history. Those years were marked by a notable growth in popular interest, by the consolidation of horse racing as a first-class social spectacle, and by the arrival of horses from abroad, which contributed to raising the competitive level of the tracks. The racecourses, and especially that of Manacor, became nerve centers of an activity that transcended the sporting sphere to also become a cultural, social, and identity expression. During that decade, and it is not an exaggeration to say so, the Manacor racecourse was one of the most active in Europe.

"It is an incredible lack of humanity and dignity. That the Administration wants to know nothing about it nor provides any effective solution in such a complicated moment says very little about their education and their little desire to fix it. It makes you want to take the deceased to the City Council and have them deal with it," criticizes Andreu Galmés from Manacor, grandson of a grandmother who this Tuesday midday was buried in the public cemetery of Manacor, far from her husband and far from the family's wishes, due to the lack of security and the closure of the family tomb. "And because the insurance we paid has provided us with another one, because the City Council only offered us a niche on a rental basis, without ensuring that my grandmother's remains can return where they belong."

Manacor is the first municipality in the Balearic Islands to approve and process a formal petition to the Government for the municipality to be declared a tense residential market area, which will allow for the application of “an individualized reference index per dwelling, taking into account factors such as surface area, location, year of construction, state of conservation, or whether it has an elevator or energy certificate”, among others, explains the municipal delegate for Urban Planning, Núria Hinojosa, which in turn will serve to “detect and correct abusive cases”.
