Palma opens proceedings against the driver of a horse-drawn carriage who threw water at a young woman

PalmaThe Palma City Council has opened an informative file following the dissemination on social networks of a video related to a horse-drawn carriage driver. In the images, a young woman reprimands one of the drivers for not giving one of the animals water and, during the discussion, the man ends up throwing water at her while the woman is being recorded.

The video has caused reactions on social networks and has led the City Council to initiate proceedings to clarify what happened. The Mobility area is now responsible for clarifying the facts, determining the circumstances in which the incident occurred, and establishing, where appropriate, the measures that should be derived from it. The City Council has emphasized that it will not tolerate behaviors that may be incompatible with the obligations and conditions that the holders and drivers of the carriage service must comply with.

The City Council has indicated that, once the circumstances of the facts have been determined, the corresponding measures will be adopted. For the moment, therefore, the file is of an informative nature and is pending the conclusions of the municipal investigation. The incident occurs in a context of recurrent debate about the conditions under which the horse-drawn carriage service is provided in Palma, especially regarding animal welfare and compliance with the drivers' obligations.
