A great injustice perpetrated by the Palma City Council: the Christmas lights don't reach all corners of the city with equal abundance and intensity. Intolerable.</p>]]></description>

The City Council maintains that the change of location will allow for the event to be held "with better visibility and safety conditions." This was explained on Monday by the councilors for Citizen Participation, Lourdes Roca, and for Infrastructure, Belén Soto, at a press conference. The event will begin with a visual and musical show by Grup TRUI, who will present <em>The dance of the two stars</em>A 35-minute artistic performance that tells the story of the reunion of Lira and Vega, two sister stars who dance guided by the light of a diamond symbolizing collective desires.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/69e873c6-b72e-41cc-b356-5ff600f14f81_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>It's been quite a few years since the State Lottery and Betting Company, a public company, began selling Christmas lottery tickets in the middle of July. This year has been different: sales began on June 30th. Anxiety is growing, and the need to move faster to place bets for what is still the ultimate dream of many subjects of the Kingdom of Spain: winning the Christmas Gordo. In this sense, a comparison can be made with the Spanish Football League, which each year takes its holidays shorter and starts again earlier. Both the Christmas Gordo and the Spanish Football League are two great dreams for many people; for many, perhaps the greatest dreams, who knows, perhaps the only ones. This makes it important to keep them going for a long time, to give people their chance to dream. To ask themselves what they would do if they won a massive prize, or perhaps just a sliver, but worth several tens of thousands of euros. Wondering if your favorite player will score many goals this year, if injuries will respect your team (they say that, if injuries will respect the team), and above all, and most importantly, if things will go badly for the opponent, and if possible, terribly badly. These are the dreams of good people, and it's really necessary to keep them burning as long as possible throughout the year. The emotional and psychological stability of many people depends on them, and also, let's face it, huge businesses that generate impressive amounts of money.</p>]]></description>
