The PSOE proposes measures to ban parties and shows on the beaches of the Balearic Islands

The PSOE proposes to protect the public maritime-terrestrial domain by banning parties and shows on beaches and natural spaces in the Balearic Islands, except for exceptions justified by tradition, limited to those existing for a decade, as reported by the Socialist Federation of Ibiza (FSE-PSOE) in a statement.

It is one of the proposals that will be submitted to the Balearic Parliament on the occasion of the modification of Law 7/2013 proposed by Més per Menorca, to prevent the celebration of parties in homes marketed as tourist stays, an initiative that establishes sanctions for offenders and also holds owners accountable if they do not take measures to prevent them.

The Ibiza deputies Pilar Costa and Álex Pitaluga made this known on Monday, February 3, along with the spokesperson for the Insular Council, Elena López, the proposals that the socialist parliamentary group will present to "strengthen regulation and ensure effective application," explained Pitaluga.

They request that the ban on parties and shows on beaches and natural spaces also be included, an initiative that "responds to the need to stop the privatization of public spaces, as is already happening, for example, at Cala Gracioneta," the socialists added.

Secondly, they propose including an additional provision for municipalities to develop a specific ordinance to regulate these activities, "thus respecting local autonomy and facilitating the application of the norm."

They also include another amendment that establishes that not presenting the marketing authorization of the house or the rental contract be considered a "more serious infraction."

The PSOE has criticized that the PP in the Balearic Parliament has dismissed the requests of the Council of Ibiza in relation to the processing of the law, "thus discrediting Vicent Marí, who is at the same time a deputy and will go against what he defended just a few months ago."

Costa has recalled that the Council of Ibiza considered that the law "was insufficient," in the words of the insular councilor for Territory and Intrusion, Mariano Juan, who said that "it had to be toughened more."

"And what we have found is just the opposite," lamented Costa, regarding the amendments of the populares that ask for the "repeal" and are against the owner "being able to lose the activity license in case of violating the law with illegal parties and nuisances."

The socialists insist on the "necessity to limit and pursue" parties in homes and natural spaces, since "they generate nuisances to the citizenry" and can also "endanger the safety of people" and, in many cases, respond to an economic activity "outside" the current regulations.
