This figure represents a 66% increase compared to 2021 and 2022, and is particularly concerning for a neighborhood like Pere Garau. In response, the Socialists have announced they will demand an internal investigation to clarify the criteria and scope of this practice.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/03690749-a9b1-4a9e-ada1-f32483e56c55_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>The Palma City Council announced on Tuesday that it will completely revamp the upcoming Three Kings Parade. It will invest a budget of €847,000, which will be allocated to 22 new floats, costumes, and everything else necessary for this traditional celebration. This was explained by the Councilor for Social Services, Education, Citizen Participation, Youth, and Equality, Lourdes Roca, during the presentation of her department's budget, which took place on Tuesday in the Cort plenary hall. According to the figures provided, the parade's budget increased by €488,000, a 136% increase compared to the previous year, when it cost €359,000. Roca explained that the only elements that will be retained from previous years are the animal figures used in the reception of the pages, and that everything else will be brand new. In the last two years, Palma's Three Kings Parade had recovered <a href="https://www.arabalears.cat/societat/religio-tradicio-juguetes-aixi-sera-cavalcada-dels-reis-palma_1_5243554.html" target="_blank">a more traditional and religious character than that of the previous legislature</a> The aim, as the councilwoman explained at the time, was to recreate "the spirit of the tradition surrounding the arrival of the Three Wise Men, with a solemn atmosphere." Now the parade is being completely revamped, although the municipal team has not been able to reveal any further details about the artistic direction of the January 2026 parade.</p>]]></description>
