After several gang rapes, the island of Mallorca is going through a dangerous trend. Now pull the emergency brake.
In recent years, the Spanish island has introduced increasingly stringent regulations to end drinking tourism. After all, according to the authorities, Ballermann has existed for 45 years, but the situation has only escalated in the past ten years.
Third gang rape
Last week, a woman was allegedly drugged and abused by several men for the third time. The head of government of the Balearic Islands, Margalida Prohens, demands that action be taken with all seriousness against this sexual assault: “There is still a long way to go and a lot of work ahead of us.” If convicted in Spain, the suspects risk ten to twelve years in prison.
Although there are discussions about a tougher approach to such attacks, we are already a step further on another topic: the ‘balcony trend’ is increasingly endangering the lives of holidaymakers. Usually drunks climb from hotel balcony to hotel balcony. In Calvià, five foreign tourists have now been fined €36,000 each and have also been evicted from their hotels.
