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>
