Palma de Mallorca: Thousands again protest against mass tourism in Mallorca

Thousands of people gathered in Palma de Mallorca for another demonstration against mass tourism, organized by the initiative 'Menys Turisme, Més Vida' under the slogan 'Mallorca am Limit.' The protesters marched through the city center, carrying signs such as 'Mallorca overbooked' and demanding limits on visitor numbers. The organizers argue that the growing number of tourists and holiday homes has contributed to housing shortages, environmental degradation, and quality-of-life issues for residents. The protests took place during peak tourist season, with many participants coming from Germany and the UK. The Spanish government began regulating the short-term rental market more strictly in the summer of 2025, targeting over 65,000 illegal Airbnb listings.

Juli 2026 statt und wurde unter dem Motto „Mallorca am Limit“ organisiert. Die Teilnehmer kritisierten Wohnungsnot, Verkehrschaos, Verschmutzung und Lärm, die durch den ständigen Zulauf von Touristen verursacht werden. Die Veranstalter verwiesen auf die bevorstehenden Regionalwahlen auf den Balearen und betonten den zeitlichen Zusammenhang mit der Hochtouristessaison. Die Polizei schätzt die Teilnehmerzahl auf etwa 25.000, während die Organisatoren bis zu 40.000 erwarteten. Es gab keine nennenswerten Zwischenfälle.

Bias read (Progressive): Der Artikel betont die sozialen und ökologischen Auswirkungen des Massentourismus, insbesondere die Wohnungsnot und Umweltverschmutzung, was typisch für linke politische Positionen ist.
