I don´t doubt that anyone would disagree that it has been a hard time for shop owners and staff. It is clearly evident if you walk round the high streets in Palma, there are plenty of empty shops, their owners have been forced to close because of the pandemic. Stores which have been open for decades have been forced to close because of the lack of tourists. Now that most of the restrictions have been lifted you would have thought that shop owners would be demanding longer opening hours.
Viewpoint: Open all hours
The Palma city council should allow shops to open when they want

I couldn't disagree more. Shitty shifts create shitty lifes, shitty people, a shitty society of social degradation, damaging families. We should learn from Germany, not from the UK. Opening hours in Germany are still more reduced than in Spain. They will not allow the social degradation that exists in the United Kingdom or in the United States.
