I wonder if and when these protesters get their way, will they move on to foreign residents and holiday home owners and claim we are pushing up prices, causing overpopulation? Beware Geoff, Steve, James and others who perhaps think they have a divine right to live on the island
I DETEST any graffiti but especially when it is used to send a message. I appreciate that during Franco's time, it was the only way to get the word out but we do not live in Franco's time anymore. I am sick and tired of cleaning off graffiti and cannot for the life of me understand why people don't get rid of it right away because it is proven that if you remove any 'tags' immediately, they will not come back because it is too risky. There is tagging all along the colonnades on Jaume III but nobody seems to care. If you really love Palma and Mallorca, PLEASE get active. Yes it is work, yes it costs us time and money but why should these morons win and deface our beautiful city? It is really time for the citizens of this city to fight back and for a mayor to stand up the plate and push for legislation that will really hurt those who harm our city. The fines are ridiculous. You couldn't even buy an ad in Majorca Daily Bulletin for the cost of a fine and in most cases it stays on the walls for years. Keep advertising that needs to get very, very costly to those who think it is acceptable.
Tourism is like redwine - some is good, but too much is bad .
Don't worry,you'll soon have the city and the rest of the Island all to yourselves.
A clear lie. Tourism sustains the city. It's like Donald Trump saying we have no responsibility for global warming.
