One of Mallorca's three small retailers associations, Pimem-Comerç, had called on shop owners to close on Saturday in protest at Palma town hall's decision not to declare January 20 a holiday. January 20 is the day of Sant Sebastià, Palma's patron saint, and it would normally be a holiday.

Protesting using shops livelihoods is stupid. Telling shops to close on a day when there are people in the city with cash in their pockets is like drivers crashing their cars to protest at the price of gas. Makes no sense.
