National Police officers in Palma have arrested a man for allegedly brutally assaulting his partner. According to the police, when officers arrived, the woman had so many injuries that she could barely breathe due to the amount of blood in her mouth. The incident occurred early Sunday morning when the 091 emergency line received a call reporting that a man and a woman were arguing on the stairs of a building. Upon arrival, patrol officers saw a large amount of blood on the landing floor of one of the apartments and, next to it, a woman with a bloody face and the alleged assailant. Beside her, on the floor, was a broken glass bottle, which he allegedly used to hit her.

Mobile phone monitoring, live location sharing, prohibitions on boyfriends having female friends (or girlfriends having male friends), and clothing supervision "for not being provocative." These are dynamics that have spread among many young people and that break with the progress of recent decades in the way romantic relationships are understood. Newer generations are, in many ways, more conservative than previous ones, a step backward that educational institutions are trying to address and combat, despite the power of the messages they receive outside the classroom.
