Local residents in Ibiza have engaged in various forms of protest regarding the management of their community and public spaces. Initially, approximately 100 residents organized a communal dinner under the slogan ‘Fartes’ to protest the effects of mass tourism and to advocate for a “habitable island for its permanent population.”

Subsequent grievances have shifted toward urban management and infrastructure. In the es Soto area of Ibiza, residents have called for increased police intervention to prevent a local tunnel from being used as a regular parking area. Meanwhile, in Viana, a new bicycle lane project has caused controversy due to the planned removal of over 70 parking spaces, with residents claiming local authorities have failed to meet with them to discuss the impact of the works.
