Minimal incidence of the strike in the Balearic Islands and mass protest at the demonstration

The general strike in the Balearic Islands saw minimal impact, with unions reporting a 48% participation rate, while employers claimed only 0.7%. Public transport was notably affected, but commerce and hospitality remained largely unaffected. Despite low strike participation, protests drew large crowds across the islands, particularly in Palma, where housing costs are high. The education sector saw a 50% participation according to unions, but the government reported only 14%. Vandalism occurred at some open establishments, prompting condemnation from the regional president.
