- Ibiza, closer to normality after the devastating torrential rains of a week ago
This Tuesday marked one week since one of those days that will forever be etched in the memory of Ibizan society. In just a few hours, more than 250 litres of water per square metre fell — more than half of the usual annual rainfall. While the water was much needed on an island affected by drought, it came with too much intensity and force. The result was severe flooding, particularly affecting the neighbourhoods of Ibiza Town. When the alert sounded on mobile phones a few minutes after twelve o’clock in the morning, it was easy to fear the worst. With the consequences of the DANA in the Horta Sud region of Valencia still fresh in our minds, pessimism was rife. The vast majority of people went to work as normal first thing in the morning, as the rain only started at 10am. Fortunately, however, the situation was nowhere near as bad as in Valencia. In terms of human life, there were only two serious injuries due to falls, as well as a few minor injuries caused by a rockfall in the Puig des Molins area. Nevert - Haute cuisine and solidarity at the fourth edition of Estrellas contra el Cáncer
the fourth edition of Estrellas Contra el Cáncer (Stars Against Cancer), which premiered at the iconic Nassau Beach Club Ibiza this year. It was a magical evening, combining gastronomic excellence with solidarity, with one goal: supporting children with cancer and their families through the Association of Parents of Children with Cancer in the Balearic Islands (ASPANOB). The Brisa de Portmany ball pagès troupe opened the event, providing a traditional note to kick off the aperitif. Guests enjoyed creations from the participating chefs, as well as special oyster, caviar and ham stations, setting an exclusive tone for the evening. Following the cocktail reception, guests took their seats and were welcomed by Nuria Moreno, who thanked Nassau Beach Club for their extraordinary efforts in preparing the venue despite the complications caused by rain in the preceding days. Moreno also expressed her excitement at reuniting with residents who support the cause year after year, as well as her joy at welcoming newcomers. - Uber cashes in on the devastating storms in Ibiza and then ignores its users
The Uber platform has once again stirred up controversy with its practices on the island of Ibiza. As well as picking up passengers at taxi ranks where they are not permitted to do so and performing improper manoeuvres, they are now adding to the ‘cut’ they took (or at least attempted to take) from the misfortune of others caused by the devastating storms on Tuesday. People who needed to get around on the day of the storm in Ibiza contacted Periódico de Ibiza y Formentera to report that the Uber app was showing fares of over 90 euros, with some options exceeding 100 euros. It should be noted that the roads were flooded, with some, such as the E10 and the airport road, completely submerged and impassable, necessitating the use of alternative routes.The following day and even two days later, when normality was returning to Ibiza thanks to the large-scale deployment of emergency services, it was impossible to book any journeys on the island via the app. Forty-eight hours later, you open the app and it won’t - Last-minute rescue of 25 children from a nursery in Ibiza during a severe storm
National Police officers in Ibiza carried out a series of humanitarian rescue and assistance operations for citizens trapped by severe flooding. The operations focused on critical areas of the municipality, where dozens of people were rescued, including minors, elderly people, people with disabilities and pregnant women, in extremely dangerous conditions. The storm caused severe flooding in many areas of the municipality, especially on main streets and avenues, where the water reached depths of up to one metre. In response to this emergency situation, the National Police activated its public safety protocols and immediately deployed several patrols, in collaboration with the Civil Guard, Local Police and emergency services. After overcoming serious access difficulties due to floating vehicles and flooded streets, the officers carried out multiple rescues on foot and in vehicles. Among the most notable interventions were the rescue of 25 children from a nursery, where the children were standing on desks, and the - Un crecimiento demográfico que no tiene fin en Baleares
La presidenta del Govern, Marga Prohens, asumió el reto demográfico como primer gran problema de Baleares en la primera jornada del debate de política general en el Parlament. Lo definió como «el reto del crecimiento poblacional que vivimos en Baleares, con el hecho de ser el máximo exponente de la España que se llena en un territorio limitado como son nuestras Islas». De ahí la necesidad de dar respuestas y articular medidas para frenar esta tendencia cada vez más creciente del crecimiento demográfico. En 2000 la población del Archipiélago era de 845.000 habitantes, y a principios de este año ha alcanzado 1.244.000 habitantes, casi 400.000 más y un incremento de un 47%. Durante este periodo la población de Baleares ha aumentado el triple que la de España y ocho veces más que en la Unión Europea. Las previsiones del Instituto Nacional de Estadística apuntan a que en los próximos quince años la población de las Islas Baleares aumentará un 20%,lo que en números absolutos se traduce en casi
