Posters, Provocation, Polarization: How Mallorca's Streets Become a Campaign Ground

Answer

Why are political posters in Mallorca causing so much debate?

Political posters can feel more intrusive when they appear in everyday public spaces such as streets, markets, and transport routes. In Mallorca, the reaction is often stronger because the island has a mixed audience of local residents, Spanish speakers, and international residents, so the same image can be read in different ways. For some people it looks like normal campaign advertising, while others see it as deliberately provocative.
