Through a message spread on social media, the initiators of the campaign encourage attendees to bring "flags, banners, t-shirts, and any creative proposal" to visualize their rejection of the police and judicial response to the case. "Now more than ever, let's stand together as a town and say that if they touch one of us, they touch all of us," the call to action states.</p>]]></description>

It is enough to listen to a plenary session to confirm that the municipal government does not like groups that are on the margins of what it considers a decent society very much. Cort has not shown much esteem for immigrants, shack dwellers, caravanners, or street artists – at this point, it is worth making a digression: if it is not very, very, very expensive, for the City Council it is not art.</p>]]></description>

According to the City Council's administrative specifications, postponing the festival is impossible, and in the event of cancellation on the day itself, the costs must be paid in full. This represents a total outlay of €283,914, as this newspaper has learned. Canceling the activities and concerts with less than 24 hours' notice makes it completely impossible to use contractual clauses to modify the payments, so the Palma City Council will have to pay for the entire festival without holding it.</p>]]></description>
