After fatal accident
Mallorca: huge demonstration against mass tourism
Thousands have protested against mass tourism in Mallorca. Under the slogan "Let's say basta!", people gathered in the center of the island's capital Palma on Saturday evening. The police spoke of 10,000 demonstrators.
The number of participants far exceeded expectations, wrote the newspaper "Diario de Mallorca". People had come from all parts of the island, it said.
Four dead after club collapse
The rally was held in the wake of the restaurant collapse at Ballermann on Thursday evening. Four people died in the accident, including two young women from Germany. Residents of Playa de Palma, which is mainly visited by German tourists, are convinced that many buildings in the area are not suitable for mass tourism.
Tourism is essential for the island's economy. The industry accounts for 45 percent of Mallorca's economic output. In the meantime, however, there is hardly anyone who questions the need to limit the number of visitors.
