Mallorca strike: estate agents wary of Palma march
A strike march is due to leave Plaza de España in Palma, Mallorca, at 18.30 on Wednesday: estate agents worry about how it may unfold, despite a quiet morning at their offices. The general strike is over housing and decent pay. Across the Balearic Islands, agencies have reported no serious incidents so far, says José Migue Artieda, president of the Official College of Estate Agents of the Balearic Islands.
Artieda says there have been a few attempts to intimidate agencies that stayed open, but they went no further. The day has gone better than he expected. On Monday, many agencies across the islands found strike-related stickers on their premises.
The march is still to come. Artieda remains concerned about how it will go, although the agencies will already be closed when it begins.
