Home of anti-tourism graffiti suspect in Mallorca daubed with Stars of David
The home of a woman arrested for painting anti-tourism graffiti in Mallorca has been marked with Stars of David. The incident, which has spread across social media and local media, reopens the debate over the tension between the anti-tourism movement and the response from opposing sectors.
The woman, whose name has not been released, had been arrested for allegedly painting slogans on facades across the island. Days later, her home was found with several symbols evoking Nancy persecution painted on the door and exterior walls.
The graffiti has been condemned by civic organisations and political groups, which see the act as an unacceptable crossing of lines. "Regardless of the cause, marking a house with Stars of David is an act of hatred," said a spokesperson for the Jewish community in the Balearic Islands. On the other hand, some sectors believe the arrested woman represents a movement that "sows hatred against tourists" and that the vandalism against her home is an unfortunate but understandable response.
The case comes amid growing discontent over the touristification of Mallorca, where protests and graffiti against mass tourism have trinc one another. Spain's National Police are investigating the incident to identify those responsible for the latest act of vandalism. No arrests have been made so far.
