DRIVING home the message about behaving responsibly is key to winning the battle against the Covid19 pandemic, the Balearic president has told Mallorca’s council leaders. Speaking to the mayors via video conference, Francina Armengol underlined the vital role the local authorities play as the institutions closest to residents in keeping the public informed about the health safety measures aimed at reducing the number of infections. She called for the councils’ “maximum involvement” in putting out information on rules and regulations related to Covid-19 and in looking out for compliance with the measures to prevent the virus spreading. Armengol particularly highlighted
VITAL ROLE: Local councils are key to keeping the public informed about health safety measures aimed at reducing infections, the Balearic president told Mallorca’s mayors.
the importance of ensuring compliance with the newly introduced restriction which limits social and family gatherings to no more than 10 people and on reducing social contacts to only those which are essential. The public need to be responsible in order to contain the advance of the virus and to stem the recent growth in new case numbers the Balearic Islands are currently experiencing, she said. The Balearic president also pledged the regional administration will support the councils in finding ways to increase municipal police forces and to speed up the process for providing local administrations with information on new Covid-19 cases. A further pledge was to invest €800,000 via the local cooperation funds in cleaning primary schools.
Fine for lighting up LIGHTING up on a Balearic Island street means risking a minimum fine of €100 under tighter restrictions aimed at containing a surge in new Covid-19 cases. Smoking anywhere outside the home, even at a safe distance from others, is now classified as a minor offence. This means possible fines go all the way up to €3,000, explained Balearic government spokeswoman Pilar Costa. Other offences in this category include failing to wear a face mask and social gatherings of more than 10 people.
The government spokeswoman said these kinds of offences will be considered on a case-bycase basis, taking into account factors like whether an individual is a reoffender. For serious offences the fines go from €3,000 to €6,000, while for very serious offences the fines are
as much as a whopping €600,000. Costa also announced certain clarifications and tweaks to these latest measures which the regional administration announced two days earlier. In relation to the obligation to wear a face mask in the workplace, this does not apply to people who
work in open spaces. Where the reduction to 50 per cent for bar and restaurant maximum numbers for both indoor and outdoor dining areas is concerned, for establishments where maximum capacity is less than 50 people, the limit on capacity remains at 75 per cent.
RISKY: Fines for smoking in public start at €100.

Beach tragedy REPORTS: According to Spanish press beach-goers spotted the 65-year-old floating immobile in the sea.
A MAN drowned on a Mallorca beach just shortly after helping to rescue a struggling swimmer, according to Spanish press. Reports say the 65-yearold Moroccan citizen had
been one of the people who went to the assistance of a bather who was having difficulties in the sea at Can Pere Antoni on the Palma coast on the afternoon of Thursday August 27.
Witnesses reportedly said that just an hour or so later beach-goers saw the Moroccan floating in the water and apparently immobile, prompting two men and a lifeguard to dive into the sea to get to help him.
Meanwhile a call was put through to the emergency services for an ambulance. Tragically it appears the emergency health team were unable to resuscitate him.
Fines and Possibly even Jail! AS parents and children all over Spain prepare for the return to schools on Monday many are not aware that a refusal to do so can lead to serious consequences like fines and possibly even imprisonment. Millions of students are expected to resume their education in schools and colleges across Spain this week, but many parents have already stated they will definitely NOT be taking their children back - citing fears their kids could catch the coronavirus. A magistrate in the Contentious Chamber of the Higher Court of
Justice of Murcia and national spokesperson for Judges and Judges for Democracy, explains that “parents have the obligation to take their children to receive an education. For this reason, those who encourage truancy face jail time, fines and in the worst of cases, the loss of parental authority.” There is a Penal Code that mentions non-compliance with the obligation to educate children leads to imprisonment of three to six months. The magistrate, Ascensión Martín, compares these events
with “when someone does not want their son to have a blood transfusion and a judge agrees that they do,” and says she doesn’t understand parents who “now tear their clothes and say their children cannot go to school when the children have spent the whole summer in the parks, playing with other children.” The magistrate added that education “is better in person - if it were only virtual the situation would be horrible since not everyone has an iPad or the Internet or a parent to explain Chemistry.”

Shock discovery Early flu HAVE you had a delve into the settings of your phone over the last few days? Many of us that aren’t so tech-savvy may not keep an eye on such things, therefore you could be in for a big shock. It would appear that a Covid-19 sensor has been secretly inserted into every phone. Don’t believe us? We were as shocked to find out as you are now. It seems that when phone users suffered disruption to their services earlier this week it wasn’t something simple, but a virus tracker was being added to your handset. Now for the proof. If you have an android phone, select ‘Settings’ then go to ‘Google settings’ and see if it is there. If you are an iPhone user, try ‘Settings,’ ‘Privacy’ then ‘Health.’ Users may be pleased to know that although it is already
If you choose to turn it on you will be tracked wherever you go. If at any point you update your phone you will find that the tracker will automatically have been turned on. Users can go back in and turn it on and off whenever they want to. So, what do you think? That was a little bit sneaky, wasn’t it? However, we are sure that some people will be relieved that they don’t have to look for these tracker apps. Do you feel that this is an invasion of your privacy?

Back to Phase 1
THE cities of Salamanca and Valladolid return to Phase 1 in shock announcement with the new restrictions being put in place today Thursday September 3 despite Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s insistence that he will not put the entire country into a State of Alarm, however more and more regions are utilising the new powers given to them to move backwards to contain outbreaks in their area. From today it will be forbidden for more than 10 people, either in private or in a public place to gather in Salamanca and Valladolid. The local government in the area have justified their decision due to the sharp rise in infections and mortality in the region. Veronica Casado highlighted that there is clear evidence that there is “community transmission” in these areas which needs to be curbed and they have requested
the cooperation of the central Spanish government in their efforts. The new measures, will affect a wide range of interpersonal gatherings with funerals and wakes now only allowing a maximum of 15 people in outdoor spaces or 10 in enclosed. Churches, weddings and other civil celebrations, the maximum allowed capacity will be 50 people outdoors and just 23 indoors, without exceeding one third of the venue’s total capacity. The hospitality sector will also suffer as clientele may not consume inside the premises unless seated at a table. Whether inside or on a terrace, this cannot exceed six people and masks are compulsory. At the time of going to print, with Salamanca and Valladolid returning to Phase 1, it is now concerning for the rest of the country as to which area will be next.
campaign
SPAIN’S Ministry of Health has agreed to bring the nationwide flu campaign forward “to advance vaccination as much as possible” and “protect the vulnerable.” Under normal circumstances, the campaign begins at the end of October or beginning of November. But health bosses have agreed with the autonomous communities in the Interterritorial Council of the National Heath System (CISNS) to start vaccination in the first two weeks of October. And vaccination will take place at the same time across the regions due to a risk of “possible co-existence with Covid-19.” Health Minister, Salvador Illa Roca, agreed to advance the campaign “to protect the vulnerable” and said “the objective is 75 per cent coverage for health workers and people over 65; and 60 per cent for pregnant women and people at risk.” As agreed by the CISNS Public Health Commission in May, the first to be vaccinated will be elderly people, with an emphasis on those living in residential homes.
Computers for
vulnerable schoolkids
ONLINE TRAINING: Will take place for teachers in September and October. THE Balearic government is making 7,000 computers available to vulnerable schoolchildren for the new school year. The move is part of the regional Education ministry’s digitalisation plan for the islands’ schools, with the aim of making it possible for teaching to continue online in the event the pandemic situation makes it necessary. “Digitalisation is not an alternative to face-to-face
schooling, it is a complement, a help, increasingly more necessary for efficient learning, which is a response to the challenges of the 21st century,” explained Balearic Education minister Mart March at a press conference on Friday. March said the State of Alarm and the closure of education centres had taught schools, teachers, families and the regional administration about the
problems of distance teaching without adequate means and therefore the need for the digitalisation plan as “another key tool.” Among the main measures are initial online training for 5,000 teachers between September and October. Also a digital support platform for families and pupils to help them on issues related to online teaching and another for schools and teachers

Crackdown on anti-social behaviour SANTANYI Council is cracking down on antisocial behaviour with plans to punish conduct like boozy gatherings in public places and vandalism with fines of up to €3,000. The local authority has set out a new by-law aimed at preserving public areas and services for the enjoyment of all without being spoiled by the misbehaviour of a few. The by-law is also for regulating issues like excessive noise, letting off fireworks, begging, and playing games on the street. Violations of the by-law

Santanyi mayor Maria Pons said Local Police need to have this regulation in force, explaining it takes into account the experiences of the last few months on gatherings of crowds, noise and get-togethers to drink and party to make it more precise. There is now a period during which the public can put forward arguments against points of the by-law. Pons expressed the hope there would not be a delay to the definitive approval of the regulations.

Nasty fall
A CLIMBER was left with serious injuries after a nasty fall in the Valldemossa mountains. The 27-year-old plunged some seven metres in an area of s’Estret on the evening of Friday, August 28. According to reports he suffered a broken thigh bone and had numerous blows to his body. Mountain rescue teams from the Inca and Soller firefighting services and the Guardia Civil, along with Valldemosa Local Police, took part in the operation to get to the climber and get him safely down to the awaiting ambulance. Once the health emergency team had checked over and stablised the injured 27-year-old he was transferred to Palma’s Son Espases hospital.
Clinical trial SPAIN’S Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, announced on Friday, August 28, that the Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios has authorised the first clinical trial in the country of a vaccine against Covid-19. This was stated in a press conference before the media to report on ‘important news’ in relation to clinical trials of the Covid-19 vac-
cine together with the Minister of Defence, Margarita Robles. Illa explained that it is a Janssen vaccine and it is authorised for a Phase 2 clinical trial. The Phase 1 trial was carried out in the US and Belgium (1,045 people participated). In Spain, Phase 2 will be carried out in 190 healthy people between 18 and 55 years of age and also on those over 65. Recruitment for the trial is expected to start immediately. Illa indicated that the contract was signed to receive the vaccine from the pharmaceutical group AstraZeneca, which works with the University of Oxford and the first doses are expected to be received “at the end of November.”

Unfair blow NEW restrictions aimed at stemming a recent surge in Covid-19 cases on the Balearic Islands deal an unfair blow to restaurants, according to sector associations. The most recent measures, which came into force on August 28, include reducing restaurant maximum capacity to 50 per cent, both in interior dining areas and on outdoor terraces. There is also now a complete ban on smoking on terraces. The presidents of the restaurant business arms of the CAEB Balearic Business Association Confederation and the PIMEM Mallorca Small and Medium-Sized Business Federation, Alfonso Robledo and Eugenia Cusi, told Spanish press the measures punished restaurants when they were not the source of outbreaks of the virus. Robledo described the measures as “outrageous.”
CRITICISM: Business associations claim restaurants are not the source of outbreaks, but are negatively affected by new measures.
Cusi meanwhile argued that “instead of transmitting confidence, the message from bars and restaurants complying with the measures creates the opposite effect.” The CAEB president also criticised the restriction already in place which makes it compulsory for bars and restaurants to close by 1am. He maintained the move had proved to be “ineffective” and only encouraged gatherings in public places to drink and party.

The Golden celebration was not going to be spoiled by his admission to hospital, according to his wife María, who said “we usually celebrate our anniversary every year. On this occasion, it has coincided with this situation.” María, who was introduced to Eugenio by his

Two week Update THE pound has had several ups and downs, making impressive gains against the US dollar and the euro and then giving some back as the uncertainty on many fronts piled on the pressure. Brexit negotiations, more than the ecostats, appear to be the main influence on the pound’s fortunes. News of further frustrations and a lack of progress in negotiations pushed sterling lower. In recent days, the pound has switched between first and last place; the economy showed some signs of recovery with a 3.6% rise in retail sales for July and better than expected provisional PMIs coming in at 56.5 for services and 59.3 for manufacturing, beating both the US and Europe. While uncertainty reigns, the pound may be in for a bumpy ride. Uncertainty was the word of the day at July’s European Central Bank meeting
and as a second wave of virus infections spread across Europe, the lack of optimism seemed warranted. Early hopes of Europe’s recovery in June and July dissipated. While there are some green shoots of recovery persisting, investors turned against the euro which has lost out to sterling in recent days although it made significant gains against the US dollar which is struggling under the weight of the ongoing pandemic and the upcoming US Presidential election. The US dollar was also fluctuating, but unlike sterling which had some good days amongst the ups and downs, the pressure appears to be relentless. The market appears to be ignoring any positive statistics and is instead focused on sentiment, which is trending to the negative. The US appears to be struggling to get the virus under control, particularly compared with elsewhere, and the election in November is adding a new
level of uncertainty on the political front. The Canadian dollar mostly kept a low profile; manufacturing sales rose by a record 20.7% in June but still remain 13.2% below their pre-pandemic level in February. Wholesale sales jumped 18.5%, coming close to pre-pandemic levels. Headline inflation slowed from 0.7% to 0.1%. The end result was that there was nothing particularly good or bad to distinguish the currency and it moved with the whim of investors. The minutes of the Reserve Bank of Australia board meeting held nothing new and did nothing to help the Australian dollar. However, despite some disappointing statistics, the Aussie did make some gains; it remained largely unchanged against the pound compared with July, but a combination of technical targets and sentiment kept the currency moving in an apparently random manner.

However, it was too little, too late - it was August’s weakest performer and still down by an average of more than 1% compared with July.

FINANCE BUSINESS EXTRA Eurozone negative balance THE European Central Bank (ECB) operates what it calls a Target 2 account in its settlement system which balances transfers between the Central Banks of Eurozone member countries. Strong economies such as Germany and Holland have positive balances with money owed by weaker countries such as Spain and Italy. In fact, those two between them owe about €1 trillion to the other members and this can currently be managed, but a problem will arise if any country wants to leave the Eurozone or it breaks up.

This decision does not es tablish a precedent for other courts to cite. In fact, it goes against the general opinion. The DGRN, which oversees the work of Registries and Notary offices, has ruled that the only pos sible way to establish such prohibition is by in cluding it in the original charter document of the community. This charter can be amended by a unanimous vote of the members. The debtor has already lost his vote in the AGM but courts have ruled that for such an impor tant vote requiring unanimity he may cast his vote. He will probably vote against the prohi bition.

Under the agreement, the EU will eliminate tariffs on imports of US live and frozen lobster prod ucts. US exports of these products to the EU were over $111 million (€94 million) in 2017. The EU will eliminate these tariffs on a Most Favoured Nation (MFN) basis, retroactive to begin August 1, 2020. The United States in return
will reduce by 50 per cent its tariff rates on some products exported by the EU to include certain pre pared meals, certain crystal glass ware, surface preparations, pro pellant powders, cigarette lighters and lighter parts. “As part of improving EUUS re lations, this mutually beneficial agreement will bring positive re sults to the economies of both the United States and the European Union. “We intend for this package of tariff reductions to mark just the beginning of a process that will lead to additional agreements that create more free, fair, and reciprocal transatlantic trade,” said Ambassador Lighthizer and Commissioner Hogan. Whilst Britain still tries to ob tain its own special deal with the USA, this is the first tariff deal done between the EU and USA in more than 20 years.
Rolls Royce asset sale THE company that manufac tures Rolls Royce engines has suffered considerably from the pandemic and the lock down and is looking to sell a number of subsidiaries to raise €2.2 billion. Marked for disposal is Span ish based engine and turbine manufacturer ITP Aero and with a €2.19 billion loan due to be repaid by October 2021 it needs cash as quickly as pos sible as well as a return to pro duction of engines. With 4,000 staff lost so far, it expects to shed a further 5,000 across the group this year.
Carrefour plans takeover THE French Supermarket Group Car refour is spending an estimated €78 million to take over 172 Supersol stores in Andalucia and Madrid. It intends to convert them to Ex press or Market stores and some will
become rebranded as part of its dis count Supeco collection. Many Supersol stores appear to have become ‘tired’ with little inno vation or renovation and Carrefour expects to be able to improve sales
and increase footfall as well as intro ducing pick up points for online or ders. As Spain becomes a more impor tant market for Carrefour, this is its first major Spanish acquisition since
it took over 36 Eroski outlets as long ago as 2016. The purchase will have to receive formal approval from the regulators, but it is hoped that the sale will be completed by the end of this year.

Latest currency news Over the last month we’ve seen fairly jittery trading in the currency market as concerns about the tra jectory of the global economic re covery grow. The pound performed fairly well in August, with the GBP/EUR ex change rate advancing from lows of €1.09 to highs of €1.11. GBP/USD has also pushed higher in the last four weeks, with the pair ing rallying from $1.28 to $1.32. EUR/USD’s performance has been less consistent, with the euro fluctuating between $1.17 and $1.19. What’s been happening?
CURRENCY MARKET: Concerns over the global economic recovery. Over the course of August the pound managed to advance against several of its rivals despite signifi cant hurdles at home and abroad. Renewed Brexit jitters and con cerns about an impending UK em ployment crisis limited Sterling’s potential for gains, but the cur rency still closed out the month higher against both the euro and
the US dollar. While reduced demand for safe haven currencies weighed on the US dollar for the first half of the month, with USD hitting a twoyear low midAugust, the currency was quick to bounce back. Ongoing concerns about the glob al economic outlook and future risks to international growth have driven
investors away from higherrisk cur rencies, giving the US dollar room to recover some of its recent losses. Finally, the euro has been losing ground on fears that the resurgence of coronavirus cases in Europe could hamper the Eurozone’s recov ery. The negative impact of the resur gence was highlighted in August’s preliminary PMIs for the Eurozone, which detailed a stalling in growth. What do you need to look out for? The pound’s uptrend could come to an end in September. The wind ing down of the UK’s furlough scheme is expected to trigger a wave of new redundancies and a sharp spike in the unemployment rate. Such an outcome is likely to weigh on demand for GBP. Demand for the pound will also
be undermined if progress in Brexit negotiations remains limited. However, if the coronavirus situa tion in Europe deteriorates further (weakening the euro in the process) the GBP/EUR exchange rate’s losses may be limited. Over in the US, political risk will start having more impact on the US dollar in the coming weeks as cam paigning ramps up ahead of Novem ber’s presidential election.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT
3 - 9 September 2020
EWN 19
We are all so bewildered
I DO believe I’m actually losing it. Alright alright. I can hear the cackles of agreement from here! No, usually I am pretty resilient but I’ve recently begun to realise this whole Covid thing is finally getting to me. It’s not that I’m bored. With three radio shows a week, a blurb to churn out, six cats, a dog and a home to run, boredom is undoubtedly not the problem. I also count my blessings that I am easily in touch with family and friends. So why is it suddenly all going so mentally pear shaped? It’s not only me experiencing this reaction, I’ve also noticed an ever increasing number of colleagues and friends, many of whom have been quite positive in the past have been posting their misgivings and doubts on social media. Well obviously the threat to our health, the masking, social distancing, travel restrictions and financial worries are grinding us all down, but it goes far deeper than that. I believe the main reason so many of us are sinking into such a mental state of despair is that we don’t have an end date. It is a
CURRENT NIGHTMARE: When will it all end? proven fact, that many of the mental breakdowns, unrest and violence in our prisons, often have a direct link to the date of a prisoner’s release. Apart from those who will never be freed, offenders never know the actual date of their release until it is determined by either a judge, or a parole board. The result is a kind of limbo existence. A period of uncertainty as to the future, which if it goes on too long
can lead to all kinds of problems, both mental and physical - and we are experiencing exactly the same trauma. ‘Stone walls do not a prison make.’ We are in fact all serving a term with no end date. There is nothing definite in the future to look forward too. If we were told this whole nightmare would be over on say July 6 next year, we would certainly moan and gripe about how long we had to wait, but
at least it would be something definite. We could start to cross the dates off on our calendars. We could begin to make plans. We could count sleeps! As it is we have no idea when, or even how this nightmare will end. Slowly but surely we are being worn down and mentally exhausted by the uncertainty of it all; plus the fact, that with the unprecedented nature of the situation, it is glaringly obvious our leaders are as bewildered as we all are. Is it all a conspiracy? Well, we are borrowing trillions from someone out there. Are these faceless individuals gleefully breaking out the Dom and Coronas, congratulating themselves that their dastardly plot is going even better than they anticipated? What worries me is the person that finally does deliver the planet an ‘end date’ could well be hailed as the new Messiah. Perhaps thats the whole idea.

Famous quote
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
“Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.” Jim Morrison
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being asked to take on a new and demanding task this week may see you wishing that you had been less visible. However, don’t think of the hard work involved but rather the brilliant outcome. You will be popular.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) An interest in technology is not something new to you. What is great, though, is that the penny has suddenly dropped. This week sees you understanding more and wanting to know more. This is good for both your work and social life.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) An urge to get moving must mean that autumn is round the corner. Certainly, you are questioning where you want to be in the months ahead. A house move or work placement may be on your mind. At what seems to be an unsettled time, decisions need to be made and worked towards.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Be aware that not everyone is willing to work as hard as you. When approached by someone wanting you to trust them, be sure of their motives. Do what you feel is right but remain firmly in control, especially financially. It may not be the time to make a particular move, although others think that it is. There’s no problem with discussing things and talking them through. Keep up your healthy habits because you need lots of energy, especially at the weekend.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Social demands are made, but try to shuffle them to the weekend. Be diplomatic or someone close could become irritated. Keep an eye on the small print because something fundamental may have changed in a long-standing arrangement. Suddenly, at the weekend, you are thrust into the limelight.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Career and home are in disharmony but a bit of compromise soon sorts things out. You don't like playing the ‘bad guy,’ but honesty is also important to you. Speaking your mind can be liberating although, initially, you may see it as a nuisance and embarrassing. A meeting at the weekend is both confusing and disarming.
Credit: Twitter
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Someone with a larger-than-life imagination makes you smile but that was not their intention. Try to be diplomatic and steer them in a different direction. Some feelings of loneliness will not be assuaged by working more. Perhaps it is time to consider taking on a pet or giving a current pet more attention.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Sometimes, you find it hard to do things just for the pure enjoyment of it. Realise that not everything has to have a purpose or a profit. Look round this week and seek out something that will please your senses and bring a smile to your lips. Make this a week when you live for the moment and give full rein to your imagination.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Contact with a less than ideal situation makes you realise just how lucky you are. It has been clear that the weeks are changeable and your situation at the moment far from settled. Pity those whose day-to-day life is completely predictable. As someone who values an element of challenge, it is enjoyable to know that unexpected times are ahead.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) This being a family oriented week, much of it may be spent getting together with relatives and going over old times. Perhaps you are compiling a photo album for older members of the family or vice versa.

Be aware that leopards do not change their spots, they merely hide them. Those who demand your trust need a cool checking out and don't be afraid to say ‘no’ as and when necessary. Finances are well aspected this week with a new idea proving both worthwhile in terms of your time and profitable.
An exciting invitation may set tongues wagging and make a loved one jealous. You, meanwhile, are quite bemused by the whole thing. What comes out of this week is that you are of considerable value to others. The mere thought of you not being around sends ripples through your social circle.

HORMONAL HEALTH: You can get tested to check if you have any deficiencies. THE health and wellness industry is becoming increasingly more tailored to individuals and their b o d y ’s specific needs. The latest frontier to be tackled in the quest to keep everything running as smoothly as possible is hormonal health. Not only do hormones impact your mood, they
also affect your health and having an imbalance can lead to all manner of conditions, such as exhaustion and fertility issues. Hormones are produced by glands and are the chemical messengers that trigger activity in different parts of the body to help keep cells and organs working properly. To find out whether your hormones
are functioning properly, you can get tested to check if you have any deficiencies. This can then give you an idea of whether you need to make any diet or lifestyle changes, or if you need to take any supplements. However these tests can be pricey, but there are several things you can do regardless to help your body stay in check. Testosterone levels for example, can be boosted by doing strength training and ensuring your diet has enough good fat and protein. Meanwhile vegetables such as kale, broccoli and cauliflower contain a compound that helps the body to metabolise oestrogen.
I HAVE suffered from bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder for the last nine years. I am on the road to recovery and learning how to manage my illness and living a fairly normal life. In opening up about my struggles in my weekly articles, I want to show young people that it’s okay not to be okay. I think it is especially hard on young people; they have a perception that they need to be emotionless, strong, brave, cool, and that they need to have their life sorted out at a young age. I think the world needs a real change. Luckily I am still here today to talk about these issues. We are getting to a place where people are able to open up a lot more. But not we’re quite there yet. Young people are affected by this on a daily basis . Yet we still do not have the resources to help people immediately in need. I was lucky enough to have supportive people in my life. A loving family. Lucky enough to still be here today, able to open up about my struggles. Unfortunately, at the time, my demons took over, I lost friends, isolated myself, self harmed, abused alcohol; I was living someone else’s life. A life that wasn’t my own, or should I say someone
was living it for me. I began my recovery through medication, therapy sessions with a phycologist, weekly visits with a psychiatrist. A well balanced system that worked for me. I stuck out counselling for almost four years, on and off. It helped me to grow strength and build back up my confidence. I am in a much better place now. There are still bad days. But they come and go. I am happy - I put on a front. I socialise, I laugh, I smile, I live. But this doesn’t mean I am indestructible. I am vulnerable and still battle EVERY DAY. This is what people need to realise: We do not know what is going on in people’s lives; what’s happening in their minds. For me - it was as simple as a chemical imbalance in the mind. That was all it took to change my life forever. It completely took over me, changed me. I wish when I was that young, hurting, fearing for my life, I should have spoken about it, about how I was feeling. I wanted a hand to hold but was to scared to ask for help. I realised I needed help a little too late, and this doesn’t have to be the case, we should speak up, nobody has to suffer alone. I want to live in a world where we stop judging, where we stop criticising and tearing each other apart with every little mistake; where everyone who experiences a mental health problem can turn to their family and friends without fear. I promised myself I will fight in every way to help make this possible. Now I want to pass my strength to the people who need that hand to hold in their dark times. We need to stand together and gain confidence to speak out! In every dark time there is a bright light. Never give up. Never surrender. Never lose hope.

The Definition of Cyberbullying DIONE #SAYNOTOCYBERBULLYING LOCKYER CYBERBULLYING is a form of bullying or harassment using electronic means. Cyberbullying and cyberharassment are also known as online bullying. Harmful bullying behaviour can include posting rumours, threats, sexual remarks, a victims’ personal information, or pejorative labels (ie hate speech).[2] Bullying or harassment can be identified by repeated behaviour and an intent to harm.[3] Victims of cyberbullying may experience lower self-esteem, increased suicidal ideation, and a variety of negative emotional responses including being scared, frus-
trated, angry, or depressed.[4] Social media is a part of many peoples lives, and with social media, comes trolls and cyberbullies. The statistics show that 77 per cent of students admitted they been bullied within their lifetime, with 44 per cent advising it has happened on the last 30 days. It now appears that it is not only teenagers and children that have become a victim of cyberbullying but grown adults too. A whopping 53 per cent of adults in Europe have confirmed that they have either experienced or witnessed cyberbullying in 2020. But do those who cause others pain understand the im-
pact their words have on others? Should we now make it an illegal offence? Or do we try to educate those that cause the pain? The effects of cyberbullying can sometimes be fatal. The statistics of a study showed that 30 per cent of bullying victims have suicidal thoughts, 10 per cent of those victims have attempted to take their own lives. How do we put a stop to this? The psychology behind cyberbullies is lack of self-worth and attention. It doesn’t matter whether it is negative or positive attention, people who take the time to pick holes in others, via an electronic de-
vice are so desperate for attention, they will go to any length to achieve it. Most suffer from a lack of confidence or other negative mindset issues, yet are too scared to face them. Many people do not like to admit to their flaws, they see it as a weakness. To change your mindset takes work and commitment, for some that is too hard therefore, the easier option is to point the finger at others in judgement. The fact it, cyberbullying needs to be stopped! One loss of life, is one life too many. We are ALL responsible and can all do our part to
#makeadifference. Be Mindful Before you eagerly comment on a public forum, ask yourself the question. Is this helpful? Is it necessary? is it kind? If the answer is NO to any of these scroll past. You never know the effects your words can have on others. You do not know what they are going through. The last thing you would want, is to know that your words caused someone to take their own life! If you witness it, speak up, but not with anger. Educate those who are causing the pain. By using education, rather than hate, I truly believe we can turn it around.

UK ministers fast-track mass Covid-19 vaccine rollout plan
Seeing sense Dear Euro Weekly News, I am a permanent resident in Mallorca. I would take the vaccine. It’s a matter of common sense really. Some protection is better than no protection. Your article about the vaccine (August 9). The English waiter should be sacked as a potential health hazard to others. Yours sincerely Phil Small
OUR VIEW Better safe than sorry PROTECTING the children of the world surely must be one of the most important things for many people, parent or not, something that makes us control our own habits and ways that we act. After all, as the song says “I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way.” Up until not long ago, news centred on a ‘child’, Greta Thunberg, lecturing us on how we must change our ways to protect future generations from climate change. Now we are faced with the confusion of doing what we are told is the best for our children, masking them, to keep them safe from Covid 19 or not forcing them to be masked and saving them from the psychological stresses and possible longlasting health damage that may occur. Many questions have been asked, from the simplest, how will I get my child to physically keep the mask on? What if they refuse? How can I monitor them keeping it on or keeping it clean? To the more serious, will some kind of stigma evolve from hiding their faces? Will it create problems with important communication as they grow? Is it a distraction from learning? We wish somebody had the answers to both of these sides of questioning. Right now, it is an added fear to the ones we have about keeping ourselves safe. We are forced to wear these masks when the packaging they come in tells us they cannot stop a spread of the virus. But isn’t it better to be safe than sorry? In the UK it is now compulsory for schoolchildren in higher education to wear masks in communal areas, but they do not need to in classrooms. Surely this bit of give and take or compromise is something we can handle for a while? Let’s push forward and make sure our children are the future and Covid becomes a thing of the past.

No bullies Hi Euro Weekly, I am so glad to see that you are actually accepting requests from readers about what news they would like to read. Unfortunately, it is true that bad news sells well and in reading your customers’ comments it is ironic that the ones that receive so many reactions on Facebook are the ones people want to argue about. Anyway, a little debate doesn’t hurt anyone as long as people realise it need not be personal. I do see some people going too far and wish they would just take it easy on each other, it does sometimes creep very close to bullying. I hope you have your best watchdogs at hand to dispose of those overstepping the line. It’s at times like these we should all have each other backs, not snapping at each other’s heels.

Say it loud Dear Euro Weekly News, Well done Leapy, nail on the head. I’m still sick and tired of criminals and thieves telling us how we ‘The all too silent majority’ should behave. Whether it’s mayors of London or other ‘Woke’ politicians and corporations telling us. Simon Briscoe, Dorset

Crafty plan Hola Leapy, The news seems to be full of the difficulties UK holidaymakers will have when they return if they plan to holiday in Spain. So, they are now crowded on to the beaches in the South West and the like and of course spending their holiday money in the UK instead of Spain. It's not rocket science but a crafty plan to boost UK coffers, in my opinion. Stay safe, Shirley Hunt

CONSULAR MATTERS IN these troubled times it seems that we live from crisis to crisis. Many citizens have found holiday rentals are a way to increase family income by renting rooms in their own houses; or their second homes, to tourists compared to those who use this possibility to hide a business activity. The abuse by those who act irregularly offering services more typical of a hotel business or ‘Bed & Breakfast’ rather than a private activity of renting rooms in your own home, has led to the need to regulate this ‘activity’ in view of the lack of a special law to resolve this type of situation. The Spanish Treasury took part in the matter and forced the platforms (Airbnb, Vbro, Booking ... etc) to promptly report all the income obtained by the owners as a result of said activity and now it will be the municipalities who

Are holiday rentals being banned? BED & BREAKFAST: Regulations are necessary.
will claim their share, in the form of licences or permits to develop that business activity. The hen that lays the gold-
en eggs of vacation rentals is being encircled, due to the multitude of problems or conflicts that have arisen on some occasions due to the
lack of regulation. The law is behind the reality and despite the fact that after the reform of the law in 2019 that incorporated the possibility that the Communities of Owners can prohibit, limit or condition vacation rentals, the truth is that this measure has not been very successful in requiring large majorities to take the agreement, because in the end it is a limitation to your ability to use your private property within your own home. And now, suddenly, we find ourselves with the surprising news that in Barcelona the renting of a room in your own house to tourists has been prohibited. Indeed, the government of Catalonia has left this possibility in the hands
of each city council and Barcelona has been the first to do so. In this way, for a year, no one else will be able to request a licence to share their home with tourists. And this news has spread like wildfire without perhaps understanding exactly what has actually been prohibited. In any case, the owners of tourist apartments can continue with their rentals if they are already registered. A new rule to try to prevent some property owners take advantage of camouflaging an illegal hotel or ‘Bed & Breakfast’ activity by renting rooms as a private holiday home.

Pre-season friendly defeat MALLORCA’S opening friendly fixture of the pre-season ended in a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Levante UD as new manager Luis García Plaza saw his side in action for the first time. The boss gave a hint as to the style of football Real Club Deportivo Mallorca supporters can look forward to, opting for a four-man defence in Antonio Raillo, Martin Valjent, Rafa Obrador and Joan Sastre, with Aleksandar Sedlar sitting in front. Elsewhere, teenager Luka Romero was handed minutes in central midfield, while the returning Alex Alegria was the lone forward in attack. The break from competitive football was obvious in a side still in the early steps of getting back to full match fitness as Jorge Frutos gave Levante UD the lead after
just two minutes when he poked home from close range. Gonzalo Morelo doubled their lead 20 minutes later when he received a pullback on the edge of the box and found the corner to the frustration of Manolo Reina. The Mallorca side started to find their feet shortly after as Dani Rodríguez tried a cheeky chip from distance having seen Aitor Fernandez off his line, although the goalkeeper managed to recover to save. There was nothing he could do about Salva Sevilla’s thumping effort from outside the box on the 34th minute however, as the midfielder fired into the top corner to pull one back just before half-time. Los Granitos started stronger following the restart and almost made Mallorca pay for it when Hernani fired over the bar from closer range after he connected
with Dani Gomez’s cross. García continued to make changes in the second half, introducing academy trio Ivan Bravo, Carlos Quintana and Alberto Redondo with just under 30 minutes remaining, having already brought on a host of senior stars, including Aleix Febas, Iddrisu Baba and Aleksandar Trajkovski. Chances remained few and far between for both sides as Mallorca lacked the killer pass in the final third, although that didn’t stop substitute Yannis Salibur producing a solo effort which just went wide of the mark. The scoreline would remain the same come the final whistle despite Mallorca’s best efforts as the squad got an important 90 minutes under their belts ahead of a second friendly fixture in 48 hours. RCD Mallorca: Manolo Reina (45’), Joan Sastre
(62’), Raíllo (62’), Valjent, Obrador (45’), Sedlar (45’), Salva Sevilla (45’), Dani Rodríguez (58’), Lago Junior (62’), Luka (58’), Álex Alegría (45’) Substitutes: Román, Parera (45’), Quintana (62’), Russo, Febas (45’), Prats (45’), Salibur (58’), Baba (45’), Gámez, Trajkovski (58’), Antonio Sánchez, Víctor (45’), Redondo (62’), Bravo (62’), Budimir, Stoichkov Levante UD: Aitor Fernández (45’), Toño García (45’), Duarte (45’), Sergio León (45’), Roger (45’), Bardhi (45’), Vukcevic (45’), De Frutos (45’), Miramón (45’), Melero (32’), Coke (45’) Substitutes: Koke Vegas (45’), Son (45’), Rober Pier (45’), Radoja (45’), Hernani (45’), Morales (45’), Clerc (45’), Campaña (45’), Pepelu (32’), Dani Gómez (45’), Fran (45’) Goals: De Frutos, 1-0 (3’); Melero, 2-0 (22’); Salva Sevilla, 2-1 (34’)
Top competition TOTTENHAM will need to increase their bid for Barcelona youngster Lucas de Vega if they are to sign the Brazilian this summer. Spurs have made an offer for the 20-year-old, of around £2 million to sign him on a permanent deal. The La Liga side want around £3.6 million up front, with the same amount in add-ons to seal the deal. De Vega has a release clause of £90 million despite never playing for the first team, Barca will reportedly let him go for just over £7 million. Tottenham face tough competition from teams in Spain’s second tier after the central midfielder impressed last season. Barcelona are not actively looking to sell De Vega and are happy to keep him as a potential option for the first team in the coming seasons. Jose Mourinho however, is determined to liven up his squad this summer and could return with a bid closer to the club’s valuDE VEGA: Spurs have ation. made an offer.
