The Ombudsman of Palma, Anna Moilanen, has issued a warning about the paralysis of municipal subsidies: if the situation is not resolved quickly, "it could mean the disappearance of a part of the associative fabric" of the City. The suspension, which is already extending towards the fifth month without a clear resolution timeline, affects "a wide range of activities – educational, sports, cultural, social, and neighborhood – and puts services at risk" which, in some cases, compensate for "shortcomings of the Administration itself", she explained.

One night like any other, Ariadna tucks her daughter into bed inside her home, a caravan. Every evening she faces the same uncertainty: how long can she live like this; when will the Administration recognize her right to officially exist where she lives? The girl is six years old and has been trying to register her address at her home for three years. Without success.

The Palma City Council, with votes in favor from the People's Party (PP) and Vox, censured councilwoman Lucía Muñoz of the Unidas Podemos party for expressing her desire for the disappearance of the State of Israel and a Palestine "free from the river to the sea." The motion, promoted by Santiago Abascal's party, had already received approval during last week's Citizen Services Committee meeting and was ratified this Thursday in the plenary session. During her speech, Muñoz stated that although the City Council censured her, history would absolve her; unlike the PP and Vox council members, she countered, who would be remembered as "miserable accomplices in the genocide of the Palestinian people." Muñoz said the censure stemmed from her opposition to the "genocide" that Israel is perpetrating in Gaza, "where they murder children, bomb schools and hospitals, and annihilate entire populations," she pointed out. In his view, any state "sustained by war crimes, colonization, and plunder based on a genocidal project" should end like Nazi Germany: "With the dismantling of its structures, those responsible imprisoned, and a process of denazification," he stated.

The Zionist organization Association for Action and Communication on the Middle East (ACOM) has announced it will file a criminal complaint against Lucía Muñoz, a councilwoman for Podemos in the Palma City Council, for alleged hate crimes and incitement to violence after she expressed her desire for "the disappearance of the state of Israel." The complaint refers to statements made by the councilwoman in a video on the program... Red Winter, broadcast on the television channel Canal Red, in which he shared his wishes for 2026, among which he asked for a "Palestine free of the river in the sea", "the expropriation of the homes of the vulture funds and "the reduction of rents by law".

A new attempt to remove Francoist symbols in the Balearic Islands. The Spanish government has approved the criteria that will define the new process. State catalogue of symbols and elements contrary to democratic memoryIn this context, MP Vicenç Vidal has confirmed that his party has already requested the inclusion of the Feixina monument in Palma and the monolith on the Explanada de Maó in Menorca, a proposal that the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory "views favorably, in principle." On November 18, the Ministry approved the Royal Decree to compile the catalog. This step opens the door to reviewing and potentially removing public monuments that commemorate or glorify the Francoist dictatorship, its institutions, or anniversaries linked to the Civil War and the coup d'état. The MP Vicenç Vidal –a member of the Ara Més-Sumar coalition– has announced that his party has formally requested the inclusion of two monuments from the Balearic Islands: the Feixina monolith and the Explanada de Maó monolith.

The investigation opened by Palma's Court of Instruction Number 6 into Vox's Islamophobic billboards continues to progress. The judge has requested that the Public Prosecutor's Office ask the Balearic Islands' security forces to determine the scope and possible coordination of the racist campaign, whose posters have appeared in Palma, Inca, Menorca, and Ibiza. This was reported on Tuesday by the Podemos spokesperson in the Palma City Council, Lucía Muñoz, who accused Vox of sending a "feminazi" message, in which "only white Western women are defended, not all women."

Palma City Council issued a statement this Wednesday following Podemos' accusations of alleged purchases of police equipment from Israel. Municipal spokesperson Mercedes Celeste emphasized that the City Council, like any other public institution, can only contract with companies registered in the official registry of companies authorized to work with public administrations.

The three Mallorcans, Lucía Muñoz, Alejandra Martínez, and Reyes Rigo, arrived in Palma today, Monday, after defending Palestinian rights in Israel with the Freedom Flotilla. At the airport, they were greeted by family and friends amidst Palestinian flags and shouts of "Long live the struggle of the Palestinian people." Rigo declined to comment on the sentence imposed by the Israeli state, asserting that she is fine and believing that "the focus should be on Palestine."

The Podemos councilor in Palma City Council, Lucía Muñoz, has announced that she will offer her salary this month to pay the fine imposed on Reyes RigoWhile celebrating her imminent release, the activists insist they won't be "quiet" until Reyes is out of Israel and back home.

Lucía Muñoz, Palma City Councilor and Podemos coordinator in the Balearic Islands; Alejandra Martínez, activist and communications specialist; and Reyes Rigo, activist and healthcare worker, were selected to embark on August 31st on the Global Sumud Flotilla, an international civil society initiative that will include more than 50 boats and representatives from over 44 countries. The fleet, which will depart from Barcelona for Gaza, will be the largest collective effort by the international solidarity movement with Palestine to break the blockade on Gaza and will include sailors, healthcare workers, legal experts, and activists from around the world, including actress Susan Sarandon, Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, and the Brazilian actor.
