In the latest news, a shocking video has surfaced of two female British tourists getting into a physical altercation while on vacation in Majorca. Witnesses at the tourist resort were seen encouraging the women as they engaged in a heated fight. One of the women even went as far as putting the other in a chokehold, before turning on a Good Samaritan who tried to intervene.
The chaotic scene was further fueled by a group of British women who were heard shouting "Fight, fight, fight!" from a distance, as they pushed and slapped each other. It is still unclear what triggered the altercation, but one of the women seemed to be under the influence and stumbled around unsteadily.
Thankfully, the fight was eventually broken up with the help of locals, as no police were called to the scene. The incident occurred on Saturday night in Cala d'Or, a popular tourist spot on Majorca's south-east coast, known for its bustling bars and restaurants. This unfortunate incident took place just hours after local authorities announced stricter measures to combat excessive drinking among tourists in party resorts, such as Magaluf.
Under the new legislation, British tourists could face hefty fines of up to £1,300 if caught drinking alcohol on the streets of popular party destinations like Punta Ballena in Magaluf. The law also requires shops selling alcohol to close by 9:30 pm. These regulations are an extension of a previous decree aimed at curbing the negative effects of excessive tourism, including those seen in Magaluf and San Antonio, which are popular among British tourists.
Saturday night's altercation has sparked further concerns among campaigners who are protesting against overcrowding and other issues caused by mass tourism. In recent months, demonstrations have taken place across the Canary Islands, and another one is scheduled for May 25 in central Palma, where protestors will raise their voices with the slogan "Majorca is not for sale." They are urging politicians to address the problems that are making their lives difficult, such as congested roads and lack of access to affordable housing.
