MALLORCA TODAY - Calvià town hall issues formal complaint over The Truth About Magalluf

Calvià town hall has sent a formal complaint to the producer of "The Truth About Magalluf" documentary and to BBC3. The town hall says that it offered its support to the programme and had expected a more positive image of Magalluf to be presented. The town hall and the Mallorca hoteliers federation say that the programme has done the opposite, and have received some support from opposition politicians who suggest that harm could have been done to tourism in Magalluf. But there has also been criticism of the mayor for his "I'm not a magician" statement as well as some support for the programme in highlighting in particular the problem of the prostitutes.

Comment: Calvià town hall must have been stupid to think they would be getting something other than they did. One wonders whether the formal complaint is because the mayor came out of the broadcast as poorly as he did.
