Arran, which claims to be a Marxist youth organisation that “is committed to political and economic independence and reunification of the Catalan Countries, the attainment of socialism and overcoming patriarchy from a feminist perspective", has again vandalised luxury shops, homes for sale and real estate agents in the centre of Palma.

Charles Dalrymple-ChumleyI agree with your sentiment, however, I think it's important to avoid associating Mallorquins with "Arran". Arran is another little fringe group who make a lot of noise and seize a few headlines ... and happen to be Mallorquin (or perhaps more accurately, wannabe Catalan "nationalists"). It's fringe stuff, far from mainstream. But extreme stuff always gets press. Most Mallorquins are more like your description of "non-Spanish nationals", are pro-foreigner, pro-(managed)tourism, and are directly benefitting from it. And frankly, many are indeed quietly sitting on millions. They're not the enemy here.
"Arran is committed to political and economic independence and reunification of the Catalan Countries, the attainment of socialism and overcoming patriarchy from a feminist perspective" What pathetic little uneducated, lazy, unwashed, unemployed and envious people. I suggest you all get some education and a job, oh and a shower as well. You are all pathetic. Ps JC, if I saw them doing this I would have decked them and then have to wash the stench off.
Well if the current government get their way and scrap the limits on super polluting cruise ships in the port - they’ll do the job for them! What self respecting upmarket tourist (quality not quantity) will want to visit Palma then? They’ll run for the hills :(
Not one non-Spanish national who owns a property in Mallorca was given it as a gift. They all had to work hard to get it, take risks, put in long hours and miss out on family time and events. Mallorcians would do well to stop being envious of others, drop their entitlement attitude and get to work. Mallorcians are no less smart or creative than other nationalities. They too can make millions but they have to be prepared to shed blood, sweat and tears to do so. Then they can buy the properties they're now putting stickers on and make beautiful homes for themselves. That's how it works.
Saw them doing this yesterday afternoon on Can Veri - not sure anyone floating around those parts can be anti-tourist or anti-foreigner!
