Briefing
A further review of available media reports and public lists of supporters confirms the core of the story: the anti-mass-tourism platform Menys turisme, més vida has called for support for the general strike (11N) announced for 11 November 2026. Unions and tenants’ organisations are using it to protest against rising rents, precarious living conditions and the effects of touristification. The announcement of the nationwide day of action had been prepared in recent weeks by major unions (including CCOO and UGT) and the Sindicato de Inquilinas, as well as regional coalitions; in the Balearic Islands, several local media outlets and organisation directories have named Menys turisme, més vida as a supporter.
Against the background of long-running mobilisations against overcrowding and displacement in Mallorca the move is consistent with the platform’s previous actions, having repeatedly organised or announced demonstrations and local protests this summer and autumn. Statements and reports by regional press representatives have named the platform both as a participant in local mobilisation and on the formal list of supporters of the nationwide call.
It is important to note that the platform is not the sole organiser of the strike day. The main initiative and legal preparations for 11 November have come primarily from unions and the “Huelga por la Vivienda” coalition, in which city and regional groups such as the Sindicat de Llogateres and the Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca (PAH) also play a central role. Menys turisme, més vida is joining the call as a regional platform and urging its supporters to take part.
Editorial recommendation: publication is possible, provided the article clearly distinguishes between the nationwide strike call (led mainly by unions and tenants’ coalitions) and Menys turisme, més vida’s support and call to mobilise in the Balearic Islands. Specific organisational details (meeting points, strike notifications, expected effects on transport and services) should be checked with the unions or official strike coordination before publication.
