Podemos are pressing for a limit to the number of hire cars in the Balearics. The party wants island councils to comply with national law on climate change and establish low CO2 emission zones. An aspect of this would be to limit the number of hire cars which arrive on the islands. Another would be, if councils were to wish this, limits on private vehicles coming from the mainland. This is already the case in Formentera, while the council in Ibiza has also been studying this possibility.

How come it always the tourists that should be penalised? They bring money to the island but restricted more and more. Now restrict the car rental market. If you don't like the tourist, restrict the numbers allowed to come, but money talks but believing tourist will put up with it. Push or too far they will go somewhere else, and if so you deserve it. How about looking at local citizens who thes days have at least two cars in every household. Now it's no more beach bars, what's the matter with these politicians? Mallorca is not the only part to visit, there are other places in Spain and even more so other countries to visit. Be careful to restrict too much. These days people know where to get the best deal and Mallorca is slipping with all new restrictions.
Ok, no problem... invest in comprehensive public transport. No, not a couple more bus routes. Put a train station in or near every town of population 2000 or more. And make it easy to use for tourists, and keep the prices affordable.
