As the population of the Balearic Islands has grown, so too has the lack of social cohesion. Adding to this the spread of far-right rhetoric and the increasing influx of vulnerable people arriving by sea, it becomes clear that the Islands will face, yet again, the major challenge of social cohesion in 2026. With over 1.2 million inhabitants, half of whom were born elsewhere, the islands' multicultural identity needs to be rethought. All this is happening while living conditions are becoming increasingly difficult for the majority of the population, who can no longer even dream of owning a home. Many people are forced to leave, making the Islands a place of transit. The situation is complex, defies easy solutions, and demands a concerted effort from everyone, especially politicians and institutions.
