It is a peculiarity of Spanish culture that the myth persists that the threat of huge fines acts as a deterrent. Especially in circumstances such as this, where arriving tourists have no idea that such a fine (whether zero or a million Euros) exists. Police presence is the only realistic deterrent, and let's face it, that ain't happening any time soon.
Zoltan TeglasGive it a rest, won’t you. And maybe grow up. They’ve only been in power since August. Or did you expect them to solve everything in 6 months that the PSOE couldn’t in 8 years ? And half of that has been wasted trying to find out what actually happened with the fake face masks. Meanwhile, back in Madrid…………..
If that picture is mean't to show German youth anti-social behaviour then the MDB needs to visit ANY UK city on a Saturday night!
With so few Police nothing will happen, it never does.
We've heard it all before. And how is the cleaning up of Palma going? Seeing as the PP were going on and on about it when the previous lot were in charge, they're certainly taking their time in getting started. As usual they're not to be trusted.
