The initiative, promoted by ARCA, GOB, Palma XXI, and Fridays For Future Mallorca, calls for a reorganization of port uses that is "logical, quick to execute, and respectful of historical heritage and the environment". The project they question includes the possible implementation of an industrial estate and a waste treatment plant in the Portopí dock. According to the organizations, this action would constitute an "environmental and landscape aggression" in a space with high historical and symbolic value for the city.</p>]]></description>

GOB Mallorca will also not attend the meeting of the Municipal Climate Cycle Commission, thus joining the protest announced by other entities, such as Palma XXI, against the destruction of the Bellaombras de la Calatrava woodland. GOB sources consider this action to be "an extremely serious and absolutely unjustifiable act," from an environmental, heritage, and social perspective. "We are facing a direct attack against Palma's natural and urban heritage, carried out with a violence incompatible with the democratic, environmental, and cultural values ​​that should guide any public action, especially in the context of a declared climate crisis," they explained. </p>]]></description>

These are the main actions envisaged in the alternative proposal prepared by the entity to refute the preliminary draft port reorganization proposal drawn up by the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB). According to Jaume Garau, a member of the Fòrum executive committee, the APB's initiative "implies an increase in ship mobility and the need for new platforms, which is absolutely absurd."</p>]]></description>
