The new Balearic government has said that it will be amending aspects of the tourism of excesses law. It hasn't specified what has actually been wrong with the law, but there has been a suggestion that amendment may, for example, address certain vagueness in the text and apparent discrimination in the law's application. If so, then there is the example of the objectification of women, which was highlighted by the case of the Stereo Temple bar in Magalluf. The order to close the bar by Calvia town hall, it was argued, was the result of subjective interpretation of this objectification. It was discriminatory insofar as a bar in the part of Magalluf not covered by the law could do the same thing - have a female dancer as a form of publicity - and be unaffected.
