It's not clear to me how any of this has anything to do with "Communism". I reckon it's just the standard go-to for anything you don't agree with.
Alba ScotiaAgriculture is one. All those new potatoes exported to the UK have nothing to do with tourism.
I'm sorry to be a pain but for the life of me I'm struggling to think of any completely stand alone industries in Mallorca that are totally divorced from tourism. Banks? No. Insurance? No. building trade? No. But then what do I know.
Alba ScotiaNo one I know works in the tourist industry. Not one person. And I reckon 80% or more of Palma residents don't. Of course everything is related these days. But you could argue that about any industry.
Only 40% related to tourism? 60% not connected to tourism. Name a few to get us started Mr Teglas.
Niloc82%? That sounds like one of Trump's alternative facts. I believe the figure is around 40%
I wonder when the people who work in the 'Tourism Sector" aka 82% of the population, will have had enough of this nonsense and start fighting back.
FredGod damn commies, your right, you can tell just by looking at them. I bet Putin is paying them.
FredYou need to work on your punctuation Fred.
Exactly Fred. They look like a bunch of new age travellers. "urgent need to limit tourism growth and promote a true socioeconomic transformation that prioritises life, the territory, and environmental justice in Mallorca" what the hell does that mean?
