MALLORCA TODAY - Snub to Puerto Pollensa military base celebration

Representatives of the PSM Mallorcan socialists and the Esquerra Republicana at Pollensa town hall are to reject an invitation to attend the celebration on Monday (20 February) to mark the 75th anniversary of Puerto Pollensa's military base. The parties object to the continued use of the base by military personnel only, there having been repeated calls for it to be opened up to civilians. The base also operates as a holiday centre for military personnel from Spain and NATO countries.
