"The situation is very hard, unstable and inhumane." This is how homeless people in Ibiza describe the reality they live every day, marked not only by the lack of a home, but also by the emotional exhaustion and the feeling of being "judged all the time." They expressed this on Thursday during the reading of a manifesto on the occasion of Homeless Persons Day, in a protest act organized by Caritas Diocesana of Ibiza at the Vara de Rey promenade.

Housing, self-defense, solidarity with the Palestinian people, defense of the territory, and the wave of migration: these are the topics that Aplec Jove 2025 will focus on. Under the title 'Mallorca in Struggle,' the meeting, which will take place on August 30 at the Sineu Teleclub and will be open to the public, will focus on open access. "We have chosen this topic to trace a transversal route through some emerging and other established fronts in Mallorca," the meeting organizers explained in a statement. This is the fifth edition of the event, which has been held on the island every summer since 2021.
