The GOB, Terraferida and the Less Tourism More Life Platform have called a protest on July 5 under the slogan 'es Trenc NO es toca' (the meeting will be at 10 am at the parking lot of the Ràpita Nautical Club). Participants will form a human chain at Es Trenc in defense of the island's protected areas, affected by the provisions that the PP has incorporated into the Omnibus Law. The three entities have once again warned that this norm will reduce the protection of the natural areas of the Balearic coast, especially in areas like Es Trenc, in addition to making coastal uses more flexible.

A figure dressed in traditional peasant attire, her face hidden behind a skull mask and, often, dragging a large bag of rubbish. This is how Madò Farta has presented herself on social media, a new anonymous character who, in a few days, has begun to make her mark in different settings in Mallorca with a message against tourist overcrowding and, in particular, against incivility.

A new call to fill Palma

The discontent against tourist overcrowding will return to the streets this summer. The platform Menys Turisme, Més Vida (Less Tourism, More Life) has called a new large demonstration in Palma for July 26 at 7:00 PM with the aim of repeating the massive mobilizations of recent years and placing the tourism model back at the center of political and social debate.

Less Tourism, More Life has already set a date for the new protest against tourist saturation in the Balearic Islands: July 26th. This Sunday, June 7th, on the steps of the Cathedral, the organization will present both this call to action and other actions planned for this summer to fight against massification and the economic and tourism model of the Archipelago.

The groups fighting against mass tourism in Mallorca, united under the platform Less Tourism, More Life, have begun a reorganization process with the aim of "maintaining the fight in the streets" throughout the year and strengthening the citizen response to the increase in overtourism. More than fifty people participated this Friday afternoon in an organizational assembly at the GOB headquarters in Palma, where the foundations for this new phase were laid. The groups believe that "the constant increase in overtourism" in Mallorca can only be confronted through grassroots organizing, especially given the measures adopted by the authorities, which they consider "inefficient."

Those who have demonstrated this year against mass tourism demanded a "change of course" towards a new economic and social model in the Balearic Islands. In fact, "We're changing course" was the slogan of the mobilization organized by the Less Tourism More Life platform in July 2024, which brought together nearly 50,000 people in Palma. The opposition also uses the same words to discuss and reject the policies implemented by the government. However, faced with social and political criticism, the governing bodies of the institutions ask where the solutions are that all those who frequently complain have proposed.
