Agents of the Local Police of Calvià have detected an oven in the area of Magaluf that was selling alcohol outside the hours permitted by the Decree of Tourism Excesses 1/2020. As a precautionary measure, the establishment has been closed down and a fine of 60,000 euros has been imposed, as the infraction is considered a very serious one. The Decree establishes that the sale of alcohol in shops and supermarkets in the delimited areas, in this case Punta Ballena, in Magaluf, is prohibited between 21:30 and 8:00 hours. Police caught the premises selling alcohol at 5am.
Juan Feliu – Director General of Activities and Commerce, Infringements and Sanctions and Roads and Works – pointed out that “the Local Police are doing a great job, it is necessary to enforce the Excesses Decree. Sometimes it may seem that the measures and sanctions are too harsh, but it must be understood that the intention is not to collect money. What we are trying to do here is to be inflexible with non-compliance with the rules in order to ensure what Calvià is and should continue to be, to improve and offer a safe leisure destination. Incivility and disorder have no place in our municipality”.
The Town Hall has made it a priority to put an end to uncivic tourism and delinquency. Throughout the current tourist season, efforts have been redoubled with initiatives such as the implementation of the operation of plainclothes officers.
