The eviction was set for 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, but the judicial commission, which had arrived at the woman's home—she has a 41% disability and now has ten days to file an appeal—halted the eviction. In the statement submitted to a court in Inca, the woman argues a lack of standing, since the eviction request was filed by a bank, although the property is registered in the name of an individual. The woman also points to her disability, as she had applied for legal aid, which was denied because the fact that she is currently in the process of separating, although she is listed as married, was not taken into account. The victim has also filed a complaint alleging she may have been scammed in the rental of the property, where she moved in last December. </p>]]></description>

The decision is final after the organizers' appeal was dismissed. According to the Town Council, the Local Police went to the location after receiving complaints from several residents and found more than 700 people and approximately 150 vehicles parked around the property. The police report states that the event caused significant noise disturbances, traffic disruptions, and even a traffic accident related to the large number of cars. Furthermore, the presence of hired security personnel indicated that it was an unauthorized business activity, organized without the necessary permits or the safety measures required by law.</p>]]></description>

This pioneering initiative in the municipality allows for the identification of all dogs through a simple saliva sample and is free for their owners. Registration is mandatory for all dogs living in Sencelles, regardless of whether their owners are registered residents. Registration is free until March 31, 2026. Following the first sessions held on January 16 and 17, the Town Council has scheduled further sessions on January 30 and 31, with appointments still available. One of the main objectives of the genetic census is to reinforce civic responsibility and respect for public spaces. The system will allow for the identification of animals and action to be taken against uncivil behavior, especially regarding the collection of dog feces. The city council wants to emphasize the importance of keeping the streets clean and avoiding practices such as leaving bags of dog feces on the sidewalks, a problem that causes discomfort among residents. </p>]]></description>

Born in Sencelles, he was one of the most unique figures of Naïve art in Mallorca, with a body of work deeply linked to popular imagination, religious iconography, and the daily life of the island. A self-taught artist, Joan Guerra developed over decades a distinctive and easily recognizable style characterized by rounded forms, flat perspectives, a rich palette, and a naive yet symbolically charged gaze. His paintings and sculptures depict scenes of rural life, popular festivals, processions, churches, biblical figures, angels, and Mallorcan landscapes, always from a close, almost childlike perspective that eschews academic realism. </p>]]></description>

Despite this progress towards healthier and more sustainable mobility, many families still use cars for various reasons. Notably, 61% of those surveyed believe the journey is dangerous due to the presence of other cars. This is a curious statistic, as the data shows that 61% of respondents perceive the journey as dangerous, and this is the main reason for choosing a private vehicle. It seems to be a vicious cycle. They opt for the car because it is dangerous due to the high volume of traffic. Furthermore, 58% say they use the car because they have to go to work afterward; 33% because they have young children; and 31% because they live outside the town center.</p>]]></description>
