This regulation introduces strict measures affecting various aspects of public life and, in some cases, has sparked <strong>controversy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most striking measure is the intention to remove the increasingly populated <strong>motorhome settlements<\/strong> from the streets, where families often live out of necessity due to a lack of resources to access proper housing. Fines for this activity will range between <strong>\u20ac750 and \u20ac1,500<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actions against <strong>electric scooters<\/strong> that do not comply with regulations will also be intensified. Notably, scooters\u2014whether electric or not\u2014are prohibited from circulating on pavements, squares, parks, gardens, and pedestrian areas. Additionally, electric scooters must have third-party liability insurance\u2014with a minimum coverage of \u20ac120,000\u2014and riders must wear a helmet. Fines for not having insurance will be <strong>\u20ac600<\/strong>, and <strong>\u20ac90<\/strong> for not wearing a helmet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any damage to public heritage or street furniture, including <strong>graffiti<\/strong>, will be considered a very serious offence. The fine will amount to <strong>\u20ac3,000<\/strong>. If the offender is underage, the parents will be held liable.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_117607\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-117607\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117607\" src=\"https:\/\/mallorcaglobalmag.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Grafitis-barrio-Sant-Jaume.webp\" alt=\"EMAYA workers removing graffiti in the Sant Jaume neighbourhood of Palma.\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-117607\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">EMAYA workers removing graffiti in the Sant Jaume neighbourhood of Palma. Photo: Palma City Council.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>The new Palma Civic Ordinance will also regulate guided tours<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new ordinance will also regulate <strong>guided tourist tours<\/strong>. Once in force, groups will be limited to a maximum of <strong>20 people<\/strong>, in line with existing practices in other European tourist destinations, and the use of <strong>megaphones<\/strong> will be banned. Violations will result in fines of <strong>\u20ac750<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <strong>consumption of alcohol<\/strong> on the street, as well as <strong>defecating, urinating, or spitting<\/strong> in public spaces, will also be punishable offences. Fines in these cases will range between <strong>\u20ac750 and \u20ac1,500<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mayor has taken this opportunity to remind citizens that in 2025 there will be <strong>135 more police officers<\/strong>, providing greater resources to tackle antisocial behaviour on the streets of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A period has been opened for submitting objections to try and reach the broadest possible consensus on these measures.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Palma Civic Ordinance has been announced by the <a href=\"https:\/\/mallorcaglobalmag.es\/en\/la-nueva-ordenanza-civica-de-palma-pone-coto-a-visitas-guiadas-autocaravanas-patinetes-y-grafitis\/\"> [&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":117608,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1528,1516,1513],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events-courts","category-politics","category-society"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
