Overnight on Friday, police in Palma had to deal with five large illegal street parties - "macrobotellones". As on Thursday night, there was one in Playa de Palma. From midnight until 1.30, the local police took action in dispersing people. This included clearing them from the beach itself. Unlike the other incidents, a number of tourists were out on the streets in Playa de Palma.

What can a government do with a police force that has only a few thousand to control 1.2 million on the island plus 400k tourists a week coming in now after dropping all restrictions within a month ? The answer is nothing ! They have lost control and will pay a big price for this ! Everyone just enjoy the party while it lasts !
This is what people understand when easing of restrictions happen...this is exactly why the easing goes so slow. It's like they want everything to get closed again. This makes no sense...
fascist state now. nothing to do with this virus just keeping control and trying to push an obedience agenda. pushing covid regulations are illegal and so are fines. I do not know how any court can uphold illegal regulations against your basic human rights
I'm no expert but wouldnt it make sense to open bars later so people can "party" or drink in a controlled environment.
