La saturación turística en Mallorca tiene solución

🚩 Baleares, 2022: Under Armengol's eight-year presidency, despite feelings of tourist saturation and road congestion, there were no protests. Over 100,000 apartments were legalized for platforms like Airbnb without public dissent. Key environmental groups remained quiet, with Terraferida disbanding due to pressures. A new highway between Llucmajor and Campos was built without protest. The return of the left is seen as a solution to quell current unrest over tourism saturation.
