For the right to a dignified life. Stop touristification.

Soon it will be one year, on July 21, since we took to the streets of Mallorca under the slogan “Canviem el Rumb. Posem límits al turisme” (Change the Course. Set Limits on Tourism). During the summer, Ibiza and Menorca also mobilized in massive protests that highlighted the rejection of the current economic model in the islands, based on tourism exploitation, speculation, precariousness, inequality, overuse of resources, and unlimited tourism growth in such a limited environment as islands. This rejection of the tourism model and the demands expressed in these mobilizations have been ignored by institutions and ridiculed by the tourism sector, manipulating public perception with false promises of reorienting tourism towards supposed sustainability: sustainability roundtables, expert groups, political announcements—all just manipulation of language and denial of the root problem behind a tourism model they refuse to change. Meanwhile, regressive policies have been pushed forward in environmental, social, and especially territorial terms. Right now, with the instrumentalization of the housing crisis, the islands are undergoing a new wave of territorial destruction, deregulation, and resource exhaustion, accelerating our path toward collapse.

In response to this clearly insufficient reaction, we must make ourselves heard once again: the tourism model impoverishes us and leads us to collapse. And we are many—residents, hospitality workers fighting for fair contracts—who express this in the streets, in our daily lives, by organizing and mobilizing.

We are taking to the streets again to say “Enough,” and we will do it as many times as necessary. If they don’t listen to us in the streets, they will hear us in daily life. We will continue taking action and organizing protests in all the key spaces of this predatory model: public events, political gatherings, and tourist landmarks. We will turn them into our stages of protest until we achieve real change.

On Sunday, June 15, we will take to the streets again:

• For the right to guaranteed housing

• For the right to public spaces

• For the right to dignified work

• For intergenerational justice

• For the right to a healthy environment

• For the right to water

• For the right to food, economic, and productive sovereignty

• For the right to quality public services

• For the right to quietness and rest

• For the right to linguistic and cultural sustainability

We hereby join the call.

On June 15 at 6:00 PM, we will meet at Plaza de España.

For the right to a dignified life. Stop touristification.
