MALLORCA TODAY - Is this the end for the Son Bosc golf course?

The regional government has today approved the amplification of an order in respect of the protection of birds, applied to the Albufera nature park, so that it also embraces the adjoining Son Bosc finca, site of the controversial Muro golf course, work on which has been suspended for some months. Environment minister Gabriel Vicens believes that, though "everything can be modified", a future Partido Popular-led government (one that is likely to be voted in in May this year) will find it hard to annul this provision. Does this mean the end of Son Bosc? You wouldn't bet on it.
