Some 25,000 people, according to the National Police, or 70,000 according to organizers, protested on Sunday in Palma against tourist saturation in Mallorca. The march ended with police charges that left at least eight injured.
National Police have detained a Manacor businessman for attempting to bribe María Joaquina Ferrer, the director general of Coasts and Shoreline in the Balearic government, with €20,000 hidden in a box of chocolates. The incident happened early this April to resolve permit issues for his excursion business in Portocristo. Ferrer rejected the bribe and reported it immediately.
