Around thirty people gathered this Tuesday in front of the Parliament to demand the negotiation of an autonomous collective agreement for educators of 0 to 3 years, despite the strike that began this same Tuesday on a national level being called off. The protest, called by CCOO, UGT, and STEI, took place this morning before the start of the plenary session in the Chamber.

The strike called last Saturday in the textile and footwear sector has had an impact in the Balearic Islands and has led to the closure of several large chain stores in Palma and Ibiza. The protest, driven by UGT within a state-wide call, rejects the preliminary agreement of the new state collective agreement promoted by the employers' association ARTE and signed with CCOO and Fetico.

Palma City Council is not considering "under any circumstances" reintroducing horse carriage licenses because this "would represent a very high cost" for the municipal institution, according to a statement today from the Councilor for Finance, Public Administration, and Government, Mercedes Celeste. The need for horse carriages to evolve toward another system is "voluntary," she emphasized. However, she assured that "if there is interest in doing so, the City Council will support it."
