The association asserts that the City Council has handed the park over to private promoters "without prior notice," preventing residents from enjoying one of the few green spaces in the neighborhood. <a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/society/controversy-over-the-feixina-christmas-market-residents-report-damage-to-tree-in-the-park_1_5583431.html" target="_blank">In response to the employers' associations in the trade sector</a>The residents ask: "What does the Feixina market contribute to local commerce?" They explain that, despite having requested the administrative file, as well as economic, environmental, and safety reports, they have still not received a response from the city. The residents state that they have had to learn the details of the event "as it was being organized" and that the lack of transparency has been evident. </p>]]></description>

The Barrio Cívico Residents' Association accuses the organizers of cutting branches from a tree that bothered them. "They've become obsessed with putting the German market in Feixina Park no matter what, against the wishes of residents, local artisans, the trees, whatever it takes," they wrote in a tweet. They criticize the fact that, to accommodate attractions like a slide, vegetation has been "damaged" and mobility has been reduced within a heavily used public space.</p>]]></description>

But for many residents, this project represents the imposition of a commercial model that obscures their own identity and encroaches on community spaces. The market presents a carefully curated image—wooden stalls, warm lighting, and a Nordic ambiance. Some appreciate the effort: "It's like in Vienna and Strasbourg; it's what Palma deserves," says a resident with a pronounced German accent. But others criticize the installation: "It lacks personality."</p>]]></description>
