A human wave overflows Palma to demand limits on tourist saturation

Source Summary

Tens of thousands of people, up to 70,000 according to the organization and 25,000 according to the always conservative calculations of the National Police, have taken the center of Palma and have shouted all kinds of slogans against excessive tourism, with one idea above the rest: a significant part of island society is tired of the collapse. The end of the demonstration turned out to be a real chaos because the planned space, Ses Voltes, has an absolutely insufficient capacity for such a massive demonstration. The police have closed access to Ses Voltes and a strong confrontation has been organized among the demonstrators, because after walking for more than an hour, most of the demonstrators have not managed to reach the end, and have been scattered throughout the Parc de la Mar, which has been filled with banners.
