Cala Saladeta hosts a youth protest against tourist overcrowding in Ibiza
The association Joves d'Eivissa has called a Popular Xindriada to demand a more sustainable and habitable island model
IbizaCala Saladeta was filled with people this Saturday during the Popular Xindriada convened by the Joves d'Eivissa association. The gathering also served as a protest event to denounce the consequences of overpopulation that, according to participants, the island is suffering.
During the event, a manifesto was read in which young people warned of the effects of tourist pressure on the territory, resources, and residents' quality of life. The initiative calls for a change of model that allows progress towards a more sustainable, habitable, and respectful Ibiza for its environment.
The GEN-GOB Ibiza has shown support for the association's demands and has celebrated that it is young people who are speaking out to demand measures in the face of the island's situation.
The environmental organization has called to disseminate the manifesto and the demands arising from the day, which add to the increasingly present debate in the Islands about the limits of the tourist model and the pressure on the territory.
